Subject
Urma Sellinger takes up various themes in the songs. Broken relationships (“Far from Sandra”, “Nothing But a Lie”), love (“Every Second, Every Day”), personal problems (“Hide & Seek”, “Plastic Smile”), but also from reports on the consequences of war and other political problems ("For Those We've Lost").
The band describes personal experiences in the songs, but also tries to portray the world through the eyes of the musicians to the listener. The band describes themselves as apolitical because they only want to draw attention to social problems.
Reviews
Sebastian Kristensen from the Swedish online portal "Rocknytt" criticized the album positively and gave Urma Sellinger 8 out of 10 points. He thought it was a shame that half of the album consisted of "old material that had already been released on previous EPs and singles", but he wrote that "the new material was still a success". He described the track “For Those We've Lost” as “an unbelievable song with a guaranteed hit”. He describes “Hide & Seek” as a ballad that turns out to be completely different as the song progresses. According to Kristensen, the song “Far from Sandra” is an “old classic” that he can hardly forget. He also praises the work of Matt Hyde, who is even compared to star producer Joey Sturgis .
In the British Crimson Moon Zine, an online music portal, the group was given great talent, with which the musicians could achieve a high musical quality. The critic gave 8.5 out of 10 points.
