"...a song that seamlessly blends lushness, mellowness, and ethereality...resonates with exceptional lyricism, encapsulating the fleeting nature of news cycles surrounding the disturbing surge in mass shootings. The song maintains a consistent dynamic throughout, potentially mirroring the relentless cycle of tragedy that often precedes any meaningful action. Beyond its musical allure, "Loaded" emerges as a poignant call to action, transcending the realms of melody and catchy hooks. In essence, Quaint Delusions artfully intertwines awareness and musicality, navigating a space that extends far beyond melody."
