The Story So Far - The Songs Of EP
Genre: Pop-Punk / Acoustic
Label: Pure Noise Records
Release: June 17 2014
1. The Glass -
A very amazing opening track. The lyrics are beautifully written, The vocals are amazing. The instrumental is a beautiful & mellow melody. This song truly starts off the EP perfectly.
2. Navy Blue -
Another Strongly mellow melody based track. The lyrics are very well written, The vocals are perfectly performed and very fitting with the instrumental. It features A very nice orchestra style back beat which is a very nice touch in my opinion.
3. All Wrong -
A very nice short interlude. The lyrics are amazing & amazingly performed over a nice & simple guitar melody.
4. Bad Luck -
This song starts off just as "All Wrong" ends, It continues off the previous track perfectly. The instrumental is A bit less mellow than previous track but amazing none the less. The lyrics are beautiful and very well written, The vocals are executed nicely.
5. Waiting In Vain -
What better way to end an acoustic EP than with a Bob Marley cover. The band truly took an already amazing song and made it their own. The instrumental is amazingly recorded. The vocals are performed perfectly.
I had alot of doubt that the singer could pull off an acoustic style, That doubt was destroyed when the band released "Clairvoyant" off their split EP with Stick To Your Guns. So when this EP was announced i truly had alot of excitement & a high expectation. The band truly did not let down at all.
Overall Rating: 8 / 10

7. Can't Go Back -
This song definately is another standout track in my personal opinion. It is another primarily Hip-Hop oriented track, However this song is basically a longer interlude style track. In the 2 minutes and 4 seconds this songs plays the band gets there point across. The lyrics are quite awesome and the vocals are really well performed.

12. Problems -
This is an amazing way to end an amazing album. The instrumental is very well performed, It is quite havy and all-around bad ass. The lyrics are amazing, The vocals are simply perfection in my opinion. This song ends the album as perfectly as "Shut It Down" started it.
This album is a very good detour away from today's typical "Metal". This album has something that everyone will like.

This album is A definate sign that Scare Don't Fear truly have a bright future ahead of them.
