content

The lyrics are mainly used for self-representation and to distance oneself from the mainstream music business. In addition, more abstract topics are dealt with, for example " UFO " is about the fact that the band is on a planet.

Reviews

The album received mostly positive reviews, both from critics and fans. Melvin Klein wrote in Broadmark magazine:

"With a lot of postings and a steep arc of suspense, DAT ADAM have raised expectations for their EP." Chrome "can also meet these expectations, because many sounds are innovative and in general the artist collective seems to have taken a lot of time to Try out a wide variety of effects and sound options. So it can sometimes happen that some pieces sound a bit overloaded, but on the whole this style of music, which is often referred to as "Cloudrap", is refreshingly new in Germany. The question is why Pieces on the EP have been arranged as they can now be found. "
