Heres a track-by-track breakdown of the album, with each song being ranked from p.1 to p.11. *TRACKS ARE LISTED IN ALBUM ORDER*

The Haunting - p.7

The Haunting begins immediately with quiet vocals and instrumentals that steadily build towards the chorus. The song follows a pattern of building over the verses to strong energetic chorus', this pattern is disrupted towards the middle of the song where the vocals mellow slightly and slow just a bit before the instrumentals follow to drop as well. Both instrumentals and vocals then build back up for an energetic ending, finishing with only the instrumentals winding down. Overall it is very energetic and fast paced.

N.M.E - p.3

N.M.E starts with instrumentals and a choir like chanting in the background, the song then builds quickly both in vocals and instrumentals. The song builds to the chorus and has a very smooth flow of building and dipping for both vocals and the orchestral style instrumentals in the background. Towards the end both instrumentals and vocals dip to almost nothing before having a very large build up to the finish.

Forever Stuck in Our Youth - p.10

Forever Stuck in Our Youth starts with instrumentals quickly followed by vocals joining in. It starts quite strong before mellowing out slightly and softening both instrumentals and vocals, this pattern follows for most of the song with verses being very quick and energetic and chorus' mellowing out slightly to build slowly. Overall the song moves quite fast and becomes a little repetitive towards the end.

Why Worry - p.2

Ancient History - p.1
