While they have some good riffs and hint at being able to write something great (see "Lunar), they give to the pitfalls of this style: breakdowns. I like me some breakdowns, but if they used those to accent the music and made the songs around those good riffs, as opposed to making the riffs background to the bass drops and breakdowns, they could be so much better. rAlso, while the vocals aren't bad, they aren't great either. This guy can be interchanged with numerous other same-sounding vocalists out there already.

Cool guys, lets all listen to the same album twice and call it progression!

A step up from the previous album. The vocals are a little more varied but could still use a little work in my opinion. The guitar work is enjoyable just like on the previous album, they have a bit of a djent sound this time. It's a good album, still just a little too generic to really fall in love with, but these guys are talented and if they keep improving I'm sure they'll put out a really outstanding record in the future.
Oh and "Lunar" is fantastic. It's heavy, beautiful, and eerie all at the same time.

Although they have some talent, it doesn't get any more generic than this. Surprised this even got above 3. Hey ITB, I'll take you seriously if you play something else rather than breakdowns 80% of the time.

One can't help but think to themself if they haven't heard some of this stuff before. Whether it be from their first album or something from one of August Burns Red's earlier albums, Truth and Purpose can at times sound all too familiar. Either way, these guys have made a pretty solid record. Nothing ground breaking but let's be honest, almost nobody nowadays makes anything that is ground breaking or original. ITB continue to rehearse their formula and do it with success. Truth and Purpose is an enjoyable album that features some good highlights, such as the clean vocals hidden in a few songs and the instrumental "Lunar" which is a nice break in the middle of the album. Overall an enjoyable listen that isn't so repetitive that it's worth a replays.
