Strong 2.5 - Zao before they were ZAO. This album is nothing special, the vocals are pretty miserable compared to Dan Weyandt's, structuring of the songs is very simplistic and the music lacks personality big time. But all this said the album has quite solid musicianship going on. Riffs are mostly great, flawlessly changing between heavier and more melodic side of the band, eventhough the melodic parts take the W on this album. The band was pretty tight and drumming and bass is pretty decent too. Album flows pretty well and there are some great songs, sadly non of them will stick with you and you will forget, what they sounded like minutes later. Highlights: ,,Repressed'' ,,In loving Kindness'' ,,Endure'' and ,,Resistance''
