I like the chiptunes-y sound of the opening keyboard riff. The melody is interesting on this one but I feel like the super-low start is not flattering to your voice. You sound like you're scraping the bottom of your range and are pitchy as a result. Nice drumming. I would have said “We have no choice”, for some reason the phrasing of “we lose our choice” just sounds weird to me, but I didn’t study the lyrics to see if it makes sense. The backing vocals just sound muddy, I can’t really hear them well enough to tell what they’re trying to do. Needs better production. Still I enjoyed this one. Rare to hear a serious BYD song.

this is solid, I like the burbling arpeggio palindrome running in the background. I wish the vocal melody had more of a hook to it, it's effective how you build the intensity as you go up to the higher range but there's not much here to stick in my head afterwards. Drums feel overly busy again, might be easier to build the song if it started out with a simpler beat.

A fairly tight little number here. I like the arpeggiated keys, and the beat keeps things moving along at a decent pace. The overlapping vocals in the chorus is a nice touch. "Across the seas we're hopelessly tossed" has too many syllables in it, but I like that the song seems to fit with the theme without hitting us over the head with the title. I had this neck and neck with BSS but ranked them one notch higher thanks to their clearer mix.

It sounds like you're running out of breath a little bit. Bit of a juggernaut beat, maybe could do with some space.

oooh i LOVE that low voice open, whispering in my ear. The way you build the melody to tie it back to the higher range is really affective, and keeping it in the backing vox is a great way to keep the sound in the texture. I don’t mind the “are hopelessly tossed” line (if I did, I’d be a hypocrite, see Mandibles’ never knew the guy’ with the line “my life is tossed”). Passive voice is not inherently bad, just gotta be used strategically, which you did. This is a nice deviation for your usual. I like your usual, I like this, I think I just like your band.
