Right off the bat, the album starts with a fantastic track.

Up until the middle of Act 5 Act 2, Aradia has a pretty hard time of it in the comic. She whiplashes from apathetic (as a ghost), to violent and hotblooded (as a homicidal robot), to serene (as a god-tier). This track characterizes that last development in character.

It’s just so perky and positive. Aradia’s spent so long being burned out and jaded that she doesn’t really know how to be cheerful and optimistic. So she accidentally goes way too far without realizing it.

In an album just jam-packed with memorable hooks and cool riffs, this one stands out as my favorite track.
