Brilliant hard-edged rock

"Shihad are the masters of riff-driven rock. This album isn't their best (check out their second album 'Killjoy'), but still shows off their superb skill at combining monster riffs with great melodies. Tom Larkin's drumming is always a joy to listen to, and the rest of the band continue to evolve their sounds into new areas. Great!"
Shihad WILL rule the world!

"Shihad are easily the best NZ band, hell the're even in the running for best band in the world! This album is not their best but definately their most accessible. "Home Again" should be the NZ national anthem and I know if it somehow got heavy rotation in the U.S. it would break this band. Other choice cuts are the uplifting "A Day Away", strangely depressing "Y'r Head is A Rock"(I don't even know what this song is about), the fast punk rock of "LaLa land" and many more. Buy it! Now!"
