TIME TO LET GO kicks off the album with a dreamy tone and nice beat. The melody is everlasting as it plays in your head. Epic song to start off an album.CONFLICT MANAGEMENT reminds me a bit of the Human League with amazing dance music with the spinning neon lights above you head. This is purely dance music at it's best. YEAR OF THE BEARD reminds me a bit of Micheal W. Smith on the vocals and lyrics are amazing.This song is exceptional in all ways. THE FLIP has a rockish theme to it that is quite nice and has a Yello band favor. BREAK THE CYCLE is another great song that is bound to get into your head and will stay there for a while. FIREWORKS brings this amazing album to an end. Jason's vocals are a highlight in this song that will be everlasting as the beat carries on.
