Lyrically RED is lacking as it's quite generic which has been done many times before (e.g., Linkin Park, Three Days Grace). They have all these "pain inside" type of expressions without some type of detail of what this pain is specifically about. I suppose this lends hand to their accessibility and application to various people but it can't be considered new. Furthermore, they end up too repetitious at times both musically and lyrically.
Overall, however, I would say that their execution of the vocals and music is very well done. Certainly a lot better than most bands out there in my opinion...

Not a Christian Rock Fan. Usually when I hear a good guitar riff Jesus does not come to mind. However the lead single "Breathe into me" and "Break Me Down" sound great even if you are not a fan of the Genre. I may download a few more songs to give them a chance. Anyone dissapointed w/Linkin Park's cd or like the sound of bands like chevelle or evanescence(I'm not a big fan of the latter but they do share some traits with them) should give a few of their tracks a try. The singles I mention are not overly christian and should appeal to the casual listener.

I understand that this album was a "cultural reset," but I tuned in 10 years late. Some of the songs that are so nostalgic to others fall flat before me. For example, "Pieces" rarely gets me in my feels. Despite the fact that this album doesn't completely resemble the band that exists today, I can appreciate this as a stepping stone in the group's journey.

this album has aged Horribly. The vocals also sound way too nasally for my taste here.

Relistening to this album - it's great. Makes me see how far they've fallen kind've, but maybe the new album will be better than the previews suggest.

With a variety of powerful string arrangements, catchy melodies and passionate vocals. Red has created an album that juxtaposes all of these elements with song that, regardless of their soft or hard composition, hit with a strong impact.

This album has been my favorite album since 2006. It has an unreal amount of emotional significance to me, and the strings are absolutely beautiful. Hide is my favorite song on the album.

Their first album has hints of greatness, unfurled in such tracks as 'Breathe Into Me,' 'Pieces' and 'Let Go', but the near replication of sound in every other song keeps Red from soaring.

On top of the alternating angsty & melodic vocals of traditional nu/alt-metal, Red has the ability to write a good hook, whether it be via a catchy chorus, a hard-hitting riff or the inclusion of piano & strings arrangements. The latter component is their secret weapon, and while over-used, it is an effective one. Vocalist Michael Barnes has a strong voice which also conveys emotion well, whether the piece is hard & fast, or soft & slow. The LP is front-loaded, but the stripped back closer ends things on a surprising note. An impressive debut with genuine crossover potential. Recommended Tracks: Lost, Let Go, Breathe Into Me & Already Over Pt 2.

Red's deubt is both emotional and powerful. The guitars range from acoustic to an awesome grunge and grit sound. The vocals are stellar, with very emotional screaming and even more emotional singing. Songs like Breathe Into Me, Gave It All Away and Let Go, showcase the screaming, while Pieces shows how emotional he can get. The drums make the songs flow nicely. Obviously the Rob Graves picture needs some help, as he wrote almost the entire album, and most people know this. But overall, it's a great album, one to make you bang your head and actually feel something at the same time.
