Still one of my favorite hardcore bands doing it right now. Only Constant was such a good project so I was very excited to see what Persona would contain. I feel like they have their formula and can execute it so well, this EP being a prime example. I'm hoping in the future to see some more boundaries pushed. Shame, Persona, & Vanity all rule but as a whole I think the EP is just one to gap time between releases of bigger and better things.
1st listen: It's so pretty. It's not doing anything to blow me away like everyone else though. What am I missing?

At the same time I do love the pop punky, bass driven tracks like Next Semester. I know the jump between one song structure to another can be jarring and unappealing but that didn't bother me.

Ants under the skin, this is the only thing that gets them calmed.
It's fun, but just nothing that stands out to me.
Very middle of the road after a few listens.
Upstate NY represent!
This project is so abrupt, in your face, and ends before you know it.
The band is continuing to get tighter, and grow as a unit.
