Album Review: Sights & Sounds - Silver Door

Opener, Poli's Song, wades through an uneasy union of hardcore and pop genres, typified by its struggling male harmonies. This track is the EP's best, followed unceremoniously by Cards In Place, which maintains forced drama but veers towards a more prog-metal sound in which shouted vocals drown out a more harmonious, subtle backing. Attempted restraint in Hold On Me and Solo, So Low result in boring, uninspired tracks. Though Silver Door displays some sweet melody lines, its reliance on dull, angsty filler songs renders it best suited to an emotionally confused teenage audience.
