This is just my opinion so don't take it seriously. I'm also not trying to hate on any of the people involved I love them all very much and think that they're all incredibly talented! This is just for fun.

4- Hope in the Dark

I'm srry Luxiem you guys are my favorite but compared to the other songs here this is at the bottom for me. I think that the instrumentals shine the most here ESPECIALLY with that beat drop in the chorus that's my favorite part of the song. The beginning is also rlly great it builds up the hype rlly well. My biggest issue is I don't like that rap part with Ike and Vox the lyrics don't sit well with me and I think it lasted too long. The song would've benefitted from more vocals in general and it would've been nice to hear more of the guys' singing. The small Japanese lines actually fit nice they didn't feel out of place at all. Finally I imagine if there was one more incredibly powerful chorus at the end to finish it off it would've made the song wrap even more nicely. Overall it's great but could've been better, 6/10 would listen again

(Also why is there album cover so much lackluster than the others c'mon the boys deserve some cool art too > <)

3- Black Out

AAA this was hard but Black Out is gonna sit at number 3. Just like the last song THE INSTRUMENTALS GO SO HARD HERE! I absolutely love the build up at the beginning and the atmosphere it created in the intro gives me chills. The best part of this song is the pre-chorus, most specifically the second pre-chorus. I love that they brought in the acoustic guitar it just blended so well with Petra's vocals. Speaking of the vocals I do think sometimes the instrumentals were overpowering their singing especially in the chorus but at the same time a part of me rlly likes the chaos there. Selen's rap is great didn't have much of a problem with it. Line distribution was good and the song ended with a bang I loved it. 7.5/10

2- God Sees All

I've replayed this song so many times omg the replay value is very high for this one. This and Black Out feel almost the same it's that I've listened to this one more so it's at number 2. Another strong intro and yes EVEN MORE AWESOME INSTRUMENTALS! This is the same producer that made Hope in the Dark so I'm not surprised that both choruses go so hard. Those short "tick tick"s in between the lines are so good??? I would like to take this time to express my confusion over the line "Somewhere someone is still thinking about someone else". It doesn't flow well idk why it's here it's my least favorite part I wish it was replaced with a different line. Anyways the part after it though is SO GOOD the melody change is awesome. "We're Ethyria Yea" yes queens go off 8/10

1- Diamond City Lights

This was easy omg I love this song sm. BEST LYRICS THIS HAS THE BEST LYRICS OUT OF ALL OF THEM. While it doesn't have the hardcore edm instrumentals of the other songs I think the guitar, synths, and percussion bring out a more natural feel that fits well with the vibe of the song. Whenever I listen to this song it lifts me up and makes me smile. AND GROUP CHORUSES I LOVE GROUP CHORUSES. It has both a strong beginning and ending, it has that last chorus that I absolutely love, the instrumental break doesn't feel out of place, pre-chorus slaps the buildup is wonderful. This song is just the whole package and Lazulight's vocals make it even better. The only minor issue is some of the lines might've sounded better if it was a bit higher cause sometimes it feels like they're struggling to hit the low notes but it's not that noticeable and even then they killed it. "Diamond City Lights illuminate what's inside" 9/10

Thanks for reading my review hoped you liked it! Plz be respectful and remember this is just my opinion
