Cannonball constantly shifts its sound, with each track exploring a different direction. The variety in sound keeps the album from becoming predictable. Just when one sound begins to settle in, the band changes direction and introduces a new texture or arrangement. The album moves between layered rock arrangements, stripped-back moments, and darker, more atmospheric passages without settling into a single style. Those shifts keep the record engaging and give each song its own identity. For a debut, Cannonball feels ambitious. The band’s willingness to experiment has already earned attention from many folks throughout the blogosphere. While not every idea lands with the same impact, the album shows a young band unafraid to take risks and carve out its own sound.

Some of the album’s standout moments come from the variety in its sound. “Only Girl” is full of layered instrumentation and playful guitar work. “Canyons” starts off restrained before building into an intense, emotionally charged finale. “Goddamn Lizard Man” shifts the mood with earthy guitars, heavy bass, and subdued vocals. “Lighter” strips everything back to piano and drums, creating one of the album’s quieter moments. Each track brings something different, making the album feel varied without losing its identity.
