The track listing :
- Stay Metal
- The Ear Split
- Doped Drugged Dead
“Stay Metal”, the first track is a speedy thrash metal number that talks about how heavy metal music is not just about screaming or riffs that are hard to play, but there’s a message behind the music. It mentions about how human it is for a man to keep long hair, there’s nothing unsocial about it. A metalhead is not an atomic threat to the society!
The second song “The Ear Split”, is a fresh pop rock song that talks about how fatuous it is for others to decide for a teenager’s life and career. This is the theme song of the band, The Ear Split.
The third song “Doped drugged dead” is a contemporary thrash metal song, it tells about a person who gets into drugs after being demoralized by an unethical world. But his punishment would just be the same as that of someone who gets into drugs out of free will.
