Jeff Suffering has done it agian. Here you can really see his partnership with the thieves has blossomed into something magnificant.
Musically the album explores several different types of generes all used to convey the tone of the song. The music is not your typical indie stuff. It takes unique instruments and truly let's the natural beauty shine.
Lyrically the music is very bitter and harsh. Even when your listening to a lovely waltz the lyrics exclaim how " I will always find a way, yes there is a way without you," I've been thinking of leaving you, since the day we met,"

Together the album is worth the standard amazon price but if you get it used your a ot smarter.

This is an amazing album. If you like S&THT other stuff, you must get this. The songs are beautiful, angry and strange.

This review is from: Ashamed (Audio CD)

Ya know, I liked Jeff Suffering's vocals in 90 lb. Wuss and Raft, but I've never been able to deal with his off-key singing/yelping approach. This record is by far the most structured he/his band mates have put out, but the dark brooding rock approach is overcome (once again) with Jeff's trite lyrics. Sorry...but they're just too self indulgent and they sound like something a Christian in the 8th grade would write, "To inhale all this bacteria spilling from the loins of Babylon" ???

Aside from the angst ridden Christian youth he seems to be, his lyrics always revolve around the same noodlings with his sexuality, temptation and every other thing a good Christian would be bothered by, but "tempted" to do.

"Ashamed" is a shameful record in many ways, but "Believe" takes the cake. The vocal approach is so incredibly irritating, it embodies everything bad about the ability of anyone to put out music these days...even when they shouldn't.
