This is a nice set of simple pop-punk tracks. Not much stands out here, but what is presented is entertaining and well-crafted enough to make me bang my head along. Compared to what was to come, these tracks feel childish, but there's a beauty in that which I can enjoy. Carousel's arrangement and mix on this song is my preferred version, which is nice. The only track I dislike here is Strings, which can be enjoyable in a mindless way sometimes.

Everything here is so faded and tranquil, especially with the angelic sound of the vocals over the dreamy instrumentals. This whole project sounds like winter nights.
