It was mismatched from the beginning with this piano part that's on the same level as Suzuki grade level one mixed in with Metal. When you go further into the album, you realize that this cutesy piano part was a premonition of things to come, and every so often something happens where you think what is this doing in a Metal song? The rest is just trite Metal, nothing to write home about. Oh there is a lot of palm muting which I guess it would appeal to those who have teenage aggression they was to get out of their system. I find it rather boring. So with the cutesy piano playing on track one, cheap violin pads ominous shouting chorus on track two etc etc the more you get into the album the more you realize you have nothing in common with people who retain teenage aggression well into adulthood. The same riffs I've heard in every other Metal song. Nothing truly remarkable happening anywhere.
