When I first started listening to the Side Effects album, I had a mixed opinions on it at first. I thought that Coexist was good, but I wasn't a big fan of Side Effects and had mixed feelings See You. The album overall is pretty good, but the song I have come to love from it most is Mayday!
The intro to the song is great and hooked me right away. The lead guitar is pretty good in the intro, but I personally really liked the rhythm guitar work better. The lower sounding guitar stood out to me more and is what I remember more in the intro. The verses are well executed with great melodic vocals that leads into a very heavy prechorus. That then leads into a very epic chorus that is intense and fun to sing with. They then end the chorus with the singer screaming mayday and I think that is a fantastic way to end the chorus. I do wish that there was a little more in terms of lead guitar work. You can tell that it is there but it doesn't really stand out and I wish it stood out more. Having said that, I still think the music is very good overall.
The lyrics are classic angry lyrics that you expect out of Coldrain. It reminds me of songs like Envy, You Lie, and Runaway, where they are singing about being angry at somebody. It is within the norm for this band but they are well written and way they are sung proves that they work really well. While safe, they are written effectively and are executed very well.
This is a very solid song from this band and in my opinion it's one of there best, I have listened to this song many times since it came out and I am still not sick of it. If you are a Coldrain fan, this song is more of the Coldrain you love. If you are a metal fan, I highly encourage you to check this song out. I give Mayday a 4 out of 5.
