Bulls In The Bronx - p.3

Bulls In The Bronx starts with strong instrumentals with strong clean vocals joining in before it mellows out for the chorus. The song continues this pattern with verses starting strong and building before mellowing out for the chorus.

Towards the end the instrumentals steadily become more distorted as the song fades out.

The vocals over the song feel quite slow but the instrumentals are quite fast. The song mellows for the chorus and builds towards the ends of the verses, overall it has a good sound but does get a little repetitive.

The First Punch - p.10

The First Punch begins distorted before sudden instrumentals and quiet unclean vocals are added. The song starts building from the moment it starts and builds particularly towards the ends of verses and chorus'. Just after the middle of the song the vocals become the main focal point, before the instrumentals move to the foreground again. The song overall is slightly repetitive and ends abrupt.

One Hundred Sleepless Nights - p.7

Stained Glass Eyes And Colorful Tears starts soft with the instrumentals quickly becoming heavy. The vocals start soft and build over the chorus' and the starts of verses. There is a lot of different sounds all being mixed together, in a mostly enjoyable way, and the instrumentals like to pendulum between loud and quiet. The overall sound is good although there are many different sounds happening at once.

Hold On Till May - p.1

Hold On Till May starts with a distorted guitar sound before everything builds into the song. The vocals start soft and get softer as the instrumentals start building before they cut out altogether and the vocals build, with the instrumentals rejoining and also building.

The instrumentals distort as the regular vocals come back in, this instrumental distortion comes back in at the end as the instrumentals start fading out.
