“Trinidad” is the intro song, and it was the second single, which was released on July 29th, 2025. There are two words to describe this song: expected and unexpected. Expected, as their previous album intro, “2122,” was a very crazy and chaotic song that took you by surprise right away. It was unexpected, as it was very different-sounding than anything they’ve done in the past. It has a very weird time signature and such a unique groove with this wonky-sounding guitar, plus percussion. What takes the listener most by surprise is that in the chorus, Cameron Winter is screaming: “There’s a b*mb in my car.” This is insanely out of pocket, yet it makes the chorus sound so chaotic with the pickup of percussion and the addition of a horn instrument. You either hate this song or find it insanely cool.
What a change-up from the intro song in “Cobra.” This song is such a delight to listen to, with its light guitar tone and heartfelt vocals. This song is about a lover attracting another like a tune that makes a cobra dance. Cameron Winter’s calm vocals make this song so mellow, but there’s also deep meaning behind his lyrics that is sometimes hard to decipher. This song is such a great listen and a perfect follow-up to the intro.
“Husbands” is definitely one of my favorites off the album. It starts with this drum and bass groove, and Cameron Winter comes in with an intimate tone. He delivers such different lyrics that again are hard to break down. He sings in this very nice pickup in sound, “Will it wash your hair clean, when your husbands all die?” You could maybe decipher this as there may need to be sacrifice in order to preserve a way of life. This song is so dramatic and pleasant to listen to at the same time.
After a few slower and lighter last few songs, there needed to be a pickup, and this title track is just that. It hits you with this jam of dirty guitar and bass with some very soulful background vocals that make you want to get up and dance. The sound lowers during the verse, and once the chorus comes in, this song is instantly a classic. Cameron Winter delivers such energetic and loud vocals, and it has such a large sound. This song is perfect except that they only had the chorus once through the whole song.
This song for sure has to be my definite favorite off the album. For basically the entirety of the song, this light guitar plays this simple yet beautifully sounding riff. It starts with only that, with Cameron Winter showing off his falsetto voice as he gets more and more dramatic with his vocals that open up. The drums come in, and everything just sounds so perfect. Cameron Winter is absolutely crushing the delivery of his lyrics before finally a brief pause that leads into the outro of the song. With some faraway vocals and beautiful instrumentation that comes in, you are left amazingly impressed with the production.
“100 Horses” is the third and final single that was released on August 26th, 2025. After the absolutely cinematic song before, we needed another ambitious, hard-rocking song. The band sounds so good with their 70s to 80s rock-sounding jam. Cameron Winter’s storytelling on this song is so interesting. This song is about how absurd war is and the propaganda from it. The lyrics “all people must smile in times of war” and “there’s only dance music in times of war” show that in order to show stability, we must smile and dance. The band is just showing off the production in the outro, and this song is such a great listen.
One word to describe this song is beautiful. Cameron Winter’s vocals are so pretty, and the production makes this song feel almost sad but hopeful. The final line, ” They may say that our love was only half real, but that’s only half truе,” is such a great lyric and makes the song feel so dramatic with the buildup of sound at the end.
“Au Pays du Cocaine” is French for “in the land of cocaine,” which is hard to comprehend what Geese is wanting it to mean by this title. This is the most heartbreaking song off the album. The light guitar and build-up of sound are huge and add to the heavy lyricism. Cameron Winter sings: “Baby, you can change and still choose me.” The meaning of this may be that he doesn’t want to lose a relationship, but he also doesn’t want the partner to feel stuck. He wants them to be able to grow with the relationship. This song is so striking and meaningful.
Funky is the word to describe this song. With the unique pacing and soulful singing, it is such a great follow-up to the last few songs. Cameron Winter’s biblical knowledge really shows in this song. The best part is the instrumental breakdown at the end that absolutely carries the whole song. You’ll be dancing by the end and wish it were longer.
“Taxes” is the very first single released on July 8th, 2025, and it is the most popular song off the album for good reason. It starts with these tribal like drums with these trippy vocals in the background that sound like Cameron Winter was turned into a synth. The meaning of the lyrics and song is that someone is filled with guilt from something, and that they start rejecting the world around them. Such as they’d rather be put on a crucifix than pay their taxes. The thing that makes this song so special is the drop of this melodic and bright guitar sound that transitions into an epic outro. It makes sense that this is the most listened to song off the album.
This final track is absolutely grand. Some might find this much different than the other tracks. This song is a huge storm of buildup and emotion. The large drums and percussion make it sound so tense. Cameron Winter is again showing off his biblical and other references, and his vocals fit perfectly with the crazy production. This song is about hope instead of falling apart, like the lyric “I have no idea where I’m going, here I come. The song ends with a very funky and groovy instrumental breakdown, and you’re left speechless until the end.
