3.0 out of 5 stars
no sermons, good h.c. updated breakdowns
hey all, KYI have earned a good reputation because they put on a great live show and have good lyrical content, which strays from the usual "my crew, your crew" "we're straight edge etc..." subject matters that makes some h.c. preachy, and turns some listeners away. I think this album is better than their previous release. At times this comes off...

I think this album is better than their previous release. At times this comes off sounding like Avail, which is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Some people think the recent rise of MetalCore bands are true h.c. bands, but Metal riffs are for...Metal! KYI don't bother writing "tough guy" breakdowns, and go for melody, which makes their songs memorable. This album has an "old school" h.c. feel, but the breakdowns are updated, and melodic. No gimmicks Needed...indeed! energetic, and personal, non-preachy lyrics make this album enjoyable. After all, nobody wants to listen to a sermon! enjoy.
