Opening with the loud track, <em>Crashing<\/em>; the song features heavy guitars and slightly shouty vocals. Even though the instrument work and &#8220;dirty&#8221; punk sound stays true to the aesthetic, the vocals at times, feels overshadowed amidst the instruments. In fact, you&#8217;ll hardly make out any of the lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <em>Worrywart<\/em>, makes a dash for it with barely 2 minutes worth of pounding bass, nasty guitars and a more upbeat punk pop sound. <em>Captain or Trapped In?<\/em> is probably one of the more easily likable singles on the EP. Personally, I still can&#8217;t get used to the buried vocals but the song has its merit. Fast drums and raw energy makes up for this.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the compilation is closed off by <em>Ad and Subtract,<\/em> which echoes the first song in form and taste. It serves as a great closing track, driving for one last energetic shout before the record closes.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Clockwork EP is good. Personally, I&#8217;m not crazy about it but if you want to let go of some stress and need some loud punk rock to keep you company, this&#8217;ll do you good.
