Weather McNabb has produced a particularly powerful release with this EP. In fact, the boat is getting near capacity with all the great music released this year, but I would say this set is in contention to make my "best of 2018" list. I've included this under progressive rock, but don't expect to hear songs that are directly tied to the prog rock of the 1970s. Instead, this is more along the lines of modern art rock, but there are some more purely progressive rock based stuff here, too.  This is definitely message based, and often angry. It is a response to the corporate world with a healthy helping of feminism in the mix, too. This would be strong without the lyrical message, but that just adds to the impact of the release.

Starting mostly acapella, there is a jazzy edge to it as the music gradually starts to rise upward. It becomes more of a hard rocking song from there. The string textures on this and other elements bring some progressive rock leanings. The cut does earn a parental advisory on the lyrics. It's a hard rocking proggy piece that has a lot of angst built into it. The cut gets quite symphonic further down the road and really works so well. This is a powerful piece both musically and in terms of lyrical content.
