1. Food Chain -
An insanely creative intro track, This song is heavy and catchy. The vocals are incredibly well executed. The instrumental is the perfect blend of heavy and electronic.
2. The Seeds We Sow -
This song starts of quite soft, but it quickly becomes more intense. This song is A prime example of the vocal talent of Matt Tybor (The Bunny). He truly shows off some insane unclean vocals in this song, This song is quite like A rollercoaster it gets heavy during the verses & gets quite melodic during the choruses. The instrumental shows off the vocals quuite well.
3. Cancer -
The instrumental is amazing it is not too heavy, not too soft quite perfect actually. Both the clean & unclean vocals fit the instrumental quite smoothly, The lyrics are very meaningful & beautiful. Overall I would definately say this song stands out very much so.
4. Pale Green Eyes -
This is A very interesting song, The instrumental is A blend of like metal & dubstep, It is A quite heavy song. This song definately focuses on more screaming than singing, other than light background singing. The Vocals are incredibly fitting to the instrumental, The lyrics also really "pop" with the instrumental.
5. So Smooth, So Appealing -
The instrumental is quite catchy with pretty awesome breakdowns in it, The vocals are beautifully executed by both vocalists. Overall this song is really quite incredible.
6. A Mother's Love -
An interlude track, this song has A very catchy melodic instrumental, & The spoken word of A little kid. As far as interlude tracks go this one is quite interesting.
7. First Met You -
A very catchy song, This song has A very "Dancy" instrumental. The clean vocals really lead this song, The lyrics are very well sung and are very fitting to the instrumental. This song is one of my personal favorites on the album.
8. Skyscrapers -
This song focuses less on electronic sounds and more on actual instruments, Which is A very refreshing change. The lyrics are beautifully written and performed. The band really showcases their true talent with this song and the female vocals fill in the blanks perfectly.
9. Flying Like A Bird -
This song was originally on the bands Self-Titled album, however it fits really well with the rest of the album. It is A incredible blend of electronic sounds and Drums, The Lyrics are perfectly performed by both vocalists, The vocals and the instrumental mesh perfectly, It's an overall perfect example of both the Electronic and Post-Hardcore style the band claim as their genre.
10. High Tides and Swimming Conditions -
Another song focused more on clean vocals, This song showcases the talent of Chris Hutka (The Bear). This song is another amazingly well done mash-up of the Electronic / Post-Hardcore style of music. This song features A catchy electronic beat over really well executed drums & guitars. The lyrics are incredibly beautiful and even more beautifully performed. This song is the lead single from the album and really summarizes what the album will sound like.
11. Lost -
A very beautiful closing track, this song starts off with A very soft instrumental and the incredible vocals of The Bear, quickly switching of to vocals from The Bunny being incredibly performed. This song may actually be my absolute favorite song off the album due to how perfectly it let's say fuses both vocal styles together. The song ends with the "Mother's Love" interlude child repeating his/her lines. This song is A perfect ending to an amazing album.
Overall this is easily my favorite album by The Bunny The Bear and any fan of the band will definately be happy with the results that are "Food Chain".
Overall Rating: 8 / 10
