Today I feel like analyzing an album as a whole, song-by-song, for my first time. I’m not caring about the lyrics for now. Just gonna listen to the music as it is:
—————
Zero
Opening song. Very upbeat. Very nice introduction, gets you in the mood.
Heads Will Roll
The catchy one, for the single and clip. Simply amazing.
Soft Shock
Easy listenable and not so upbeat. The same tiny melody is repeated over and over using sweet samples added as the song advances.
Skeletons
Peaceful. Very post-rock sound and structure (for the general crescendo).
Dull Life
After the calm, the hard beats come. First punk song, contrasting with the previous song and with this song itself.
Shame and Fortune
More rebels and punks.
Runaway
Second “calm” song. The “I hate the world, world hates me” one. More accused crescendo than Skeletons.
Dragon Queen
Repetitive and nonsense filler.
Hysteric
Another calmful one. For once, it does not feel like a post-rock crescendo.
Little Shadow
And, closing the album, the last quiet and post-rock crescendo. The most plain one, if possible.

Conclusions:
Trying to bond upbeat and downbeat songs together.
