The sort of music on offer here is “pop-punk/emo” or whatever qualifies for these genres these days - I would argue it was neither proper pop, punk or emo. The EP is quite generic, not a collection that wants to take risks or raise the bar, which is always a bit disappointing. The first two songs are not the strongest which is a strange marketing decision and leaves the listener with jaded first impressions, to be kind, or no impression to be accurate. However, the EP as a whole will probably attract new fans in the current musical climate, particularly amongst the younger generation.

Track 3, the title track, is slightly more interesting in terms of arrangement but the vocals are very high pitched (and not in the Brian Molko mould) but to the point that they sound constantly strained at the higher/longer notes. The band could flatteringly be compared to The Automatic although without the potential to make cross-over anthems. Having said that, ‘We Are The Cancer’ - track 4 - is a little catchier towards the chorus but, again, the final track is very generic.

I don’t necessarily think the band are not capable of better (songs that stand out, ones that cater for a larger audience) but I would say they lack creativity and ultimately that results in an EP which is unmemorable and makes no impact.
