Well after waiting four very very long years for their new album all i can say is... well i dont really know what to say. It's completely different to what i thought it was going to be.
To anyone that liked their old stuff, trust me you will be in for a shock, however i'm sure you will like the new songs.
There is absolutely no doubt that they are a different band, and thats no lie, both in lineup and in the content of the songs, all of which you can tell have been written from the heart.
The new songs are filled with much, much more power than most songs I have heard recently, swinging from melodic tunes to heavy metal chorus'. It really has to be heard to be understood. For fans of the old album i would put most of the songs as a mix between Mind Dependancy, Plastic Shadow and Falldown.
One thing you will notice is the complete of any hip-hop feel whatsoever, mainly because of the fact they dropped the DJ they had for the previous album and have done their best to be unique and not stick with the 'nu-metal' genre they were branded with when they emerged (think linkin park/limp bizkit).
I know I am rather biased as they are my favourite band, and a lot of their material sort of relates to feeling i've had in the past, but i really think this is an awesome album. I'm sure people like Allun, and maybe even Magua will like it (I know indy wont!)
To put it in real simple terms, if you like the feelers, and you also like metal/heavy rock then this album will have you hooked. But like I said, if you liked their old stuff then you really need to put this CD on with an open mind as im 99% sure its not what you expect.
