"And I've only got one question but was he really worth it? You're unresponsive but I know, that you've heard it, and I've only got one question but was he really worth it?"
'Dreams' has a heavy bass rock n roll guitar intro which soon gets accompanied by the drums and there is a gradual increase in crescendo and tempo, creating a grunge sound once the drowsy vocals enter. It's quite a haunting song, but again that just adds to the grunge sound, "and the dreams we had as children they will haunt you when you're old."
Alternative track 'Do What You Need' is somewhat darker in comparison to the opening track on the EP, you can hear hints of the The Cure and splashes of The Verve, "so take what you need and be on your way, and don't say goodbye as though you're needing to stay." Last of all is the self-titled rock n roll track 'Realise', to seal the EP. This track evokes feelings of nostalgia from Arctic Monkeys fifth studio album - AM; because of the heavy guitar riffs, guitar solos and rhyming lyrics. "She's my codeine queen and she's made of plasticine."
'Realise' is most definitely a standout track on the EP. As a whole, the EP is a concoction of different sounds and genres including a mix of; grunge, indie, alternative, and rock n roll. Lyrically, every song is well written, well structured and has a slight repetitiveness to it which makes for a catchy chorus. Influences are also clear within the tracks which gives them a stern direction of genre which is why each track is so solid.
To be released on November first.
