TRACK FRAGMENTS:
1.) "I Am" - The intro to this track opens with a very simple lead guitar effect.  The rhythm guitar of the main musical intro has a very simple metal feel too it.  I really liked the way Norman played the hi-hat and bass drum rhythm on the verses of this track.   The band used the same rhythm guitar arrangement for the verses as the intro arrangement.  There are a couple lead guitar licks underneath the lead vocal lines of the verse.  I am sure these where added to accent the rhythm guitar arrangements between intro and verse.   Chris's lead vocal lines of the verses have a slowed subtle feel to them.  After the first verse there is a small musical arrangement change for the pre-chorus. The first couple vocal lines of the pre-chorus were done with a studio vocal effect.  For the choruses Pete more or less just plays rhythm chords.  In the way Chris set the lyrics up causes a huge hook within the chorus.  At the end of the chorus Chris does a vocal scream.  On the tail end of this vocal scream Chris added a small Arabic vocal effect.  In doing this Chris really got to show off his vocal ability.  The second verse and chorus are a continuation of the first.  After the second chorus there is a small lead guitar riff breakdown section.  The lead guitar riffs of the breakdown does not really qualify as a lead guitar solo.   
2.) "M-G-I" -This track opens with a strumming electric guitar arrangement.  There is a small rhythm guitar harmonic that leads into the opening verse.  The first pre-verse of this song consists of the lead vocal lines having a 'Staind' or 'Godsmack' feel over the top of a Jimmy Page influence rhythm guitar arrangement.  Even though this song would have lost some of it's effectiveness at times the lead vocals are almost turned down a little too much.  For the verse the musical and vocal arrangements build up to an explosion of power.  The rhythm guitar riffs of the verse were heavily influenced from Jimmy Page's guitar riff on 'Kashmir'.  The guitar and bass do not kick in until the chorus.  The bass drum line of the chorus follows along with the rhythm guitar riffs.  The lead vocal line have ups and downs giving them a very dramatic feel.  After the chorus there is a lead guitar solo.  The lead guitar solo that was written fit very nice with the dramatic feel of the song.  
3.) "Ever Again" - There is a small lead guitar riff over the top of this intro section.  The musical arrangement of the pre-verse had a very simple feel, outside of the drum line.  The main drum line of the song is one of the better drum rhythms I have heard.  The lyrical lines of the choruses were sang with a lot of intense passion from Chris.  There is a very cool underling bass line underneath the musical arrangement of the chorus.  After the second chorus there is a very cool breakdown section. 
4.) "Who The Hell Are You!" -The intro to this track has a fairly standard metal feel.  The musical arrangement and vocal lines of the verses have a very modern metal feel to them.  There is a very simple rhythm guitar change for the chorus.  This simple guitar change is the only sign of the coming chorus.  Out of all the songs on this demo this is the one that was most simply structured.
5.) "You Don't Hear" -This intro opens with a very strange bass effect.  The main musical intro had a very intense feel.  The lead vocal lines of the verses are much like the rest of the song very intense. For the second verse Pete changes the rhythm structure if the lead guitar rhythm by adding small lead guitar licks.  The guitar solo of the song had a very abstract sound to it.  What main this song was the drums and bass.
6.) "Purest Form" -The intro to this track had a very Metallica feel to it.  The rhythm guitar arrangement of the verse had a very intense feel to it.  The vocal lines of the verses were very abstract sounding.  There is a small rhythm change for the very short chorus.  It sounds like Norman used a different depth snare drum for the drum rhythm.  After the first chorus there is a small break in the music that just consisted of guitar. 


        Based out of The Beatles hometown of Liverpool.  This six song demo is by far one of the better demos I have heard.  You can hear influences from several different metal genres from over several different time periods.  If you are into great sounding metal than Eneny of Thought are not only worth checking out butvery deserving of a major record contract.
