"Now, I may be a bit bias, but this record is amazing. You can hear a very strong U2 influence, especially in the guitar effects, but it is possibly the most original recording that I have ever heard. Being a drummer, I think I may have the right to say that Drew Osbourne is one of the best drummers I've ever heard. He ranks up there with Louisville greats like Kyle Crabtree and Britt Walford and Kevin Ratterman. Almost to Danny Carry of TOOL. Not to mention, Jeremy Johnson has some skill on the guitar. This record is worth buying just for the three minute, instrumental masterpiece, "Scourge of the Despot." The production on this record is simply, in short, brilliant. The sound is like a sweet bird singing in a brisk spring morning, beautiful. If I am a sailor, this record is my sea."
