Things start out on the right note with "It's Mania", a upbeat and high energy rocker that ensures things start out on the right note with Shane Smith and his brother Chad providing some memorable hooks that will have you singing right along. The title track is my favorite song off the album that features toned out guitar riffs that perfectly accentuate the melodic outbursts that are omnipresent throughout the track at any given time, and give the band some clout and notice from the listener just tuning in who may not be too familiar with the group, but have a natural curiosity as to what all the buzz is about, a solid all-around track. "The Parent Thing" begins to close out the effort with a straightforward, midtempo blast complete with a strong vocal push and instrumentation that has varying degrees of tempo that put everything in perspective here and gives the guys some energy as we close things out. "Walk Away" ends our stay here with a sharply focused tune that features specially blended guitar riffs that adequately portray the style and essence that the band sought out to create while conjuring up these tunes while in the studio.
All in all, a solid and well rehearsed effort form The Perms, a Canadian band that is looking to make a solid first impression on American listeners who may not be too familiar with them. This effort will definitely make audiences here aware of their style and sophistication that is just yearning to be heard from those outside the country and beyond.
