SONG REVIEW
Mahgeetah is the first track on It Still Moves. "Mahgeetah"..."My guitar", I like to think this song is a love song to Jim's guitar and that's why it shreds so hard. It encapsulates just about everything this band is - a driving tempo, change-ups, a slow start building into a crushing crescendo where the entire band is on fire, and Jim pushing it all with his whaling vocals. I mean, it's a 10/10 all day, folks.

Here’s a suggested and totally optional rating scale:
1-4: Not for me. Either just not my cup of tea or straight up bad.
5-6: Not great, but decent. Worth listening to from time to time.
7-8: Good, maybe even great. May or may not be a standout track, but definitely not a skip.
9-10: Either a perfect song or getting close to it. Nearly everything is working.
