Now, I'm a rock 'n roll gal at heart, but I found myself gravitating more to the softer side of Pash. After the aural assaults of most of the album, the deep and rich tones of the strings on "Cosmopolitans" were just the right thing to help me center and find closure. Listening to that particular track with my good pair of headphones was enough to send shivers up and down my spine.
The band has great potential. Their arrangements are varied and indicate the ease with which they shift gears from intense to laid-back. However, save for a few songs, I found their lyrics to be underwhelming. Since this is their first album, I'm inclined to be more forgiving in that regard. Hopefully Pash will take some time to work on crafting their words as well as they craft their music. If they do, there will be nothing to stop them from succeeding in their careers.

Nice review Anna. Boy, they sure picked an odd album title though.
