I like this album. Underrated in my opinion and I think I like it even more than the first album. They broaden the spectrum. You hear some 4Hero vibes passing by, Portishead, ... Nothing wrong with that.

Track 6 is called "Just An Avenue", not as written.

Definitely not as good as their first album. If you liked that vibe, you sadly won't find it here.
