Every time that this band comes around to release a new project, I still get my hopes up that they will deliver something special. There is no reason for them not to. They have been in the nu-metal and alternative metal scene since it?s hay day in the late 90s. However, this album suffers from the same exact thing all their albums suffer from, lack of diversity. For nearly 50 minutes you will listen to thirteen tracks that all sound the same. Granted, on their own, they all sound really good, but after 20 minutes the sound gets tiresome. This is sad because I have said this since late middle-school, they have one of the most talented and memorable singers in all of metal. Every time I hear Lajon Witherspoon vocals, weather that is on Sevendust, or on a feature, his voice nearly brings me to tears on how perfect it is. But this band can never reach the same amazement that their singer does. But I will still continue to listen to their albums in hope that one day they will be able to figure it out.
