TRACK ONE almost has an essence of Funeral For A Friend's guttural distress, with the melodious yet anxious vocals, heavy drumbeat and gripping guitar riffs compelling you to keep on listening. It's a great opening track, especially towards the end, at about 3 minutes, where the vocals take a break and the guitar takes over.

TRACK TWO bursts out immediately; this song somewhat similar to the first, yet with a quieter, more desperate side to it.

TRACK THREE is a slightly more punk song; faster with hectic drumming and a more upbeat guitar sound.

TRACK FOUR is a change; much more cheerful to begin with, and with a typical "Come on!" punk-style chorus. It's a good song, the most joyful so far, and certainly one to tap your feet along to. Like most punk songs, it gets a little repetitive by the end, but is still a catchy tune.

TRACK FIVE is a more reflective, melodic couple of minutes, back to heavy drums and guitar, and pleading vocals.

TRACK SIX almost makes me think of a band cross-bred between Jimmy Eat World and American Hi-Fi, as once again the CD takes a turn to the punk side of things; a wistful blend of vocalising the feeling you get when you want something you can't have, combined with tricky little drum beats and tuneful guitar riffs. This song is very easy on the ear.

TRACK SEVEN is another catchy, sing-along song, with interesting drum fills. The only letdown is its quite unexpected and anti-climaxed ending.

The final track, TRACK EIGHT, is a very sad, slow-paced, lyrical song; very thoughtful and almost bringing a tear to the eye. Acoustic sounding and with quite a soft, contemplative feeling, it?s a very good song..

The entire CD is a great blend of punk and what you could just get away with calling emo; Kneehigh are definitely worth a listen.
