The production feels cinematic—tightly packed with crashing drums, gritty guitars, and amazing vocals. Every element seems to be crashing with one another, making it feel like strong waves in a deep ocean on a stormy night. There is no subtlety in Candy Coated (Picture Perfect). Everything is bold and loud, as if the band is putting their heart out on stage for everyone to see—and its beauty is in its catharsis.
