"As I listened to this album at work today several things went through my mind. I wondered why so many people aren't into this band, why they're not huge, and what separates this record from other records (like terror's lowest of the low) that got HUGE but sound almost exactly the same. Honestly if anything, this record is technical hardcore at it's best. Truly.

I guess it all boils down to the same old scene bs: kids hate on bands because they can, because the lyrical content doesn't revolve around the dropping of the f bomb between every other word. Or because they are a religious oriented band. I don't know much about this current christian "hate" trend in hardcore, but i do know this:

I care about lyrical content. I'm not edge, but I appreciate edge music...and in this same vein...I'm not christian, but I appreciate a positive message.



Who doesn't?



I could be way off. All I know is when I listen to the new comeback kid record, every time I hear the background vocals (tracks 5,9) I want to listen to this record instead. I'm going out on a limb here to say that anyone who hates on this album and claims to be scene needs to get their priorities checked. The production is excellent. Every track is tight. Though I thorougly enjoyed all previous albums, I feel this is their best work.



It's simply terrible this band doesn't get more recognition."

Pretty cool

"I read the lyrics before I listened and thought, "wow, these guys now how to write good lyrics!" Very thought-provoking!



The music is awesome, though it is missing a guitar solo or two. But that's cool. Heavy, fast, double-kick to knock your ear drums out. Reminds me of when I was eighteen (ages ago) and wishing that all of Metallica's songs were like Battery! Only these guys (and one chick) are loads heavier, and their knack for rhythm is greatly appreciated by me (I'm a drummer/guitarist).



The only down-side is that the songs are all in the same key, so it seems repetitive, but the lyrics and hardness make up for it!!!!"
