Thoughts of you is a nice enough song, with not tons of variation OR much to say, but pretty nice overall (78)

Psychic Turbulence is fineeeeeeeeee, its just the same thing i heard the same thing being done like 17 times already (72).
TSA is so good tho, really enjoyed it (85)
Dark angel is really cool too (81)

The second and third tracks are weaker than the others, but overall this EP is better than the average rating shows.
