Suicide dancing is both a nod and a two-fingered salute to the dance
music genre. With a pulsing bassline and thumping bass drum, the
song spends its first two minutes building to the ear-splitting
crescendo of the final section.
Certainly one of my favourites on this album, Small Plastic
Nightmares is an acoustic melody played over a dance drumbeat. The
lyrics are spoken, and their lack of rhythm contrast beautifully
with the melodic structure of the song.
Wait! is a very short rock number which draws the listener in and
spits them back out again all within a minute and a half. A dark
melody line, this is a moody track with a lyric that describes the
weariness that comes as a part of building ourselves a better life.
Smash is a macabre fairytale of a song, again with some heavy
guitars and storming drumbeats. The ending appears amidst the ashes
of the first section, and its acoustic aesthetic comes as an
interesting change.
Knife-edge dreams is a ‘happy-hardcore for the angst-ridden.’ A
jovial melody is contrasted by the lyric ‘knife-edge dreams; Cyanide
appears, releasing me.’
Attempts at joviality is sung in a falsetto and accompanied by a
solo acoustic guitar. It tells of a love that is worth ‘giving
yourself up for.’
Billie Holocaust is a standout track on the album. With a heavy
garage rock sound, the melody twists and turns in three separate
sections, making it a 2m 45s epic. The lyrics show how ridiculous
people can be, and the extents they will go to try and stand out
from the crowd; even if it means changing their name to something as
distasteful as ‘Billie Holocaust.’
The final song on the album is one that is tinged with sorrow and
regret at the loss of a loved one and consists of a basic
effect-laden electric guitar with a whispered vocal.
