Track #2 "If Only" - Good mixing! Whoever played the harmonica rawks! Or he is a lunatic! (j/k) I bet only a lunatic like him can play like that. Check it out. Incredible.

Track #6 "Dying To Be Alive" - Beginning: drum is superbly superb. Background: dunno what kind of drum. Hawaiian? African? Blah. You tell me. Uses hand to bang it. DOPE! Who’s screaming at the end ah?? (A note from Hsin Yi - that would be the very amazing Rose Stone.)
- Lik Chuen rates this song 7.5 out of 10.
Track #7 "Can’t Stop" - Awesome mixing. The guitar part rawks! (beginning) Oh, they use that "hand-bang" drum again. The middle part is REALLY REALLY COOL!!!!!! Check it out! Good combination of instruments and vocals. Enough said!

Track #9 "Love Song" - LOVE the beginning part. Some good combination between drum and guitar. RAWKS. Who’s the vocalist? (A note from Hsin Yi - the vocalist is none other than Ikey!) I LOVE THE DRUMS AND GUITAR IN THIS SONG!!! (Alright, I repeated that) Not to mention piano! OH!

Track #11 "Hand In Hand" - Beginning is great. Drums, yeah! I just figured out that track #10 is not lame after all. This is lamer but still can be accepted. Guitar is nice. Okay.
