Despite boasting a few stereotypes many can find within the nu-metal sound in general, 40 Below Summer's major label debut doesn't enter the ring without its championship belt of hostility. Invitation to the Dance stays consistent throughout, never putting too much emphasis on either this band's savage or melodic tendencies. The album lacks in creativity, but makes up for this via satisfyingly meatheaded guitar work and a rather strong vocal performance courtesy of Max Illidge.
