Hold On (For Your Life)
It’s almost a cliché to put a mellower cut in the third slot on album. That said, though, this is an EP, so there aren’t that many slots. Additionally, while this starts as a ballad, there’s a powered up hard rocking section that comes in later. This piece is really quite a dynamic and diverse number. That fast paced segment almost feels like progressive rock at times. There are some hints of jazz on some of the mellow sections. It all works together and gels as one thing, though. Yes, the modern music elements are still here, too. This is one of the highlights of the set, really. Considering how strong the first two pieces were, that says a lot. |
