These guys get a lot of hate on this site. I'm not going to lie and say I don't see where it comes from, but I will say I don't agree with it. Infected Rain plays a kind of metalcore that borrows liberally from Nu Metal (although not so much on this release), featuring angsty lyrics, and raspy female shouts that really are an acquired taste (along with excellent clean singing). The thing is, if you can get past the raspy vocals (it did take me awhile) and just accept the lyrics for what they are, Endorphin is actually pretty damn good; even if it's nothing original or special. Lena's clean singing is powerful and makes from some really catchy choruses, and the band's use of electronics and keyboards help to set them apart from bands like The Agonist or Jinjer.
