Droga Total: in and out in twenty-one minutes

Droga Total does the first thing a punk record owes you: it ends before you look at the clock. Twenty-one minutes, riffs that hit and leave, a Porto band playing like the room is already moving.

Inside those twenty-one minutes the writing is blunt and mostly sharp. The fastest songs land clean. The midtempo ones share one idea between them, and by the last third you can call the next move a bar early.

A 3.5 with no shame in it. The best two songs deserve rooms of their own, the rest keep the pit fed. Play it twice back to back; it fits.
