This is a relatively fun but quite wankery EP and not much more. The riffage is existent but scarce - this is all about playing a lot of notes very fast. And while I'm not a fan of that, it works loads better than on other records I've seen. Some of the solos actually sound good, for instance the first part of the main solo on 1. The album intro is laughable and awkward, but once the track kicks off it is kinda cool. But like every track it has loads of wankery bits. 2 starts in a dragonforcesque note orgy but is vaguely fun afterwards, and 3 is cool at first but also turns into a wank quite quickly. 5 is just plain bad and an unhappy mess, especially on the intro which sounds like the band is playing in slo-mo. I'm less excited than I was with the demo now. 2.4
