0.0 | bloc | February 11th 10 | I suppose you could call this a poor man's Misery Signals? But since that may be offensive, Misery Signals Jr. will do. Unlike many of the Rise albums today, Changes stands out in a heavier, technical, and more melodic sense. Not that there's autotuned clean vocals or anything, but the melodic licks escaping from the guitars create a perfect balance to the gruff vocals and chugging chords.

0.0 | doom. | May 24th 20 | Very decent hardcore nonetheless, but dear god the poor production makes this almost unbearable. It sounds like every instrument and vocals are all clipping.

0.0 | CliffBar | September 6th 16 | I like what they are trying to do, but still comes out pretty boring and with most of the same problems as other metalcore staples.

3.5 great | Buryasummer | March 6th 12 | Very impulsive and catchy. Would rate this as a classic but a couple songs seem lackluster.

3.0 good | codyskidmore | October 16th 09 | Very 'safe', but there is sign of brilliance, like "This World Around Us" and "Hopeless".

3.0 good | BridgeToSolace | August 23rd 08 | This is kind of a poor review. Basically 3 paragraphs to say "Generic."
My opinion differs from yours, though. Are they particularly original? No. Are they great? No. But they manage to inject and ambient melody into metalcore, and they do it well. I like to think of them as a lesser version of Misery Signals' Of Malice...
The vocals are one note, yes, but the guy's got a great, passionate scream.
The production is good, and the literal sound of the guitar, for example, is relatively distinct.
I like this band. Tough, melodic, breakdown-y, fun music. They fit unto a subgenre of metalcore exemplified by Misery Signals, and although they aren't as good, they are certainly solid.
It's a good album.
