Nothing has been left to chance, the production of the album is perfect, the sounds reach the listener clean and compact, the drums are really well mixed and the guitars are big and round, so much so that sometimes the band crosses the boundaries of rock for land in metal, as happens in tracks like “Animal”, “Calling” and in the very violent “Paradise ’99”. This band hits hard when needed and also creates a beautiful atmosphere that looks to the future, with keyboards protagonists in almost every song.
