    The latest EP from The Juliana Theory presents five different songs written throughout the career of the band. In fact, one of them was written before the band was started: Piano Song. This is the final track and as the title suggests it's a piano based song. It starts gently and while guitars join later, the piano stays there, humming along. There's a classic rock influence.

Guitars are predominant on this one even though it starts tranquil. Near the end I can discern three different layers of guitars. Another song that I really like is Liability that would have fit on Emotion Is Dead perfectly. There are no flaws on the EP. Every single song is beautiful on its own. The recording is of good quality like you can expect from this band. The packaging is sober though. Music counts.

The next song is "Moments." It's…
