Eye Of The Storm (from Song Of The Sirens – 2020)

Okay, now we’re talking! I’m a sucker for Eye Of The Storm’s bombastic opening. It’s like the kickoff to a musical. You know you’re in for some drama, and the rest of the song mostly fulfills that promise. Electric guitar collides with driving percussion and cinematic strings. Then, to conclude the powerful chorus, the instrumental works overtime as Storm crests in an addictive mini-climax. It’s incredibly sturdy songcraft, working to GFriend’s strengths. It’s not quite a 9+ track for me, but we’re getting very, very close.

Grade: B+
