When first listening to this album, it was hard to get into it because it all sounded similar and the style to me
has been beaten to death. The cliche br00tal breakdown, singing "happy" chorus, and synth overlap. After
actually paying attention and getting past the "cliches", this album actually shows potential and represents
the band very well.
The soft ending in "Sons of Venice" and all throughout "All In Your Head" show that the group knows how to
write soft parts and incorporate them into heavy music. The extreme heavy parts in "Vessel", "Nothing Lasts
Forever", "The One and Only", " The Sound of Your Breath", and "The Path" are parts I find to be very very well
written. The combined power of the guitar and drums with the screams give a tremendously heavy and angry
feel, in my opinion.
All in all, a good start to their career and shows that the band has potential to write heavier, and prettier
music. |
