OneHundredTwenty is an engrossing effort by Emerald Portal that benefits from multiple musical layers. This means that the vocals are able to provide harmony alongside the synths, drums, and guitars. The track floats effortlessly through progressive, synth-pop, and new wave, while the crispness of the compositions will appease even the most technically-focused fan. OneHundredTwenty is an epic rock track that resounds much longer than its 3:11 run time may indicate. This single is able to play at the same high level from its introductory until its final note. Emerald Portal have hit a high-water mark with this one.
