5.0 out of 5 stars
emoish-hardcoreish-jazzy-metalish rap-punk?, October 15, 2003
That's the best way to describe this album. I haven't heard a LOT of the first cd, but I may go buy it just because of this one. I have had this cd for quite a while now. This cd rocks. The beginning kicks off with a very nice jazzy section w/ piano and nice drums, then it kicks your head open and fires away. This album mixes the best aspects of rapcore with jazz, punk, metal, and GORGEOUS harmonies. All with indie FEELING production. Production kudos on this one. This producer is one of the best if you follow him. The guitar tracks are excellent here, with a diverse array of tones and arrangements, all mixed together brilliantly to make the most of it all. And attention math metal/fusion fans! While there are no 13/8 time signatures on this cd, there are alot of cool change ups (swing time to cut time and back on "As it feels good"), time signature changes (4/4 and 6/8 on "Save this fakeness") and time signature blendings (Intro samples to "someone to blame" and the 2/4 punk beat superimposed on 6/8 in "to live".) Favorite cuts include "Pointing fingers" (Metal intro, jazz-chord chorus, rapcore verse, worshipful interlude, all with the GORGEOUS harmonies), "As it feels good" (every punk song should sound like this), "Anymore" (great hardpunk chorus beats, very ambiguous about the key signature until the kickoff, awesome!), "Escape" (hardrock supreme! and great kick pattern on the reggae-flavored verses), "Goodbye without you" (a beautiful song, perfectly mixed), and the album ender "This song's for you" (beautifully simple acoustic piece, a love song that says so much with so little). All songs are great, there's even a jazzer on there. The vocals are wonderful. The guitarist gets my vote for hardrock guitarist of the year, but the most amazing on this is the drummer/vocalist. While not playing on every song, he play on all the best drum songs, and his vocals are killer. Great band, diverse, all with an indie/emo feel. Buy it!

Amazing, November 6, 2005
I heard this album from my first band about a year ago. I fell in love with it in the first listen. It's not like those other rock/alternative bands you here, many different elements in this cd. I would seriously pick it up if you want something different and with deeper meaning too. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! God bless.
