This is Nodes of Ranvier's second full length album, which compared to the first album (Lost Senses, More Innocense) is blown out of the water. I'm not saying this album sucks, because it's a very good album, but what I'm saying is that the first album was so much better. Lost Senses, More Innocense contained some of the greatest, most intense hardcore vocals I've ever heard, but unfortunately the vocalist in that album is no longer in the band. Nodes of Ranvier is a Christian band, as all Facedown bands, and you can tell that by their lyrics of praise and humility. This album is still extremely awesome and intense, but i would still recomend trying to find Lost Senses, More Innocense first.

i saw this band's first concert in a little SD town called Baltic, at a little cafe. it was the most incredible concert i had seen in three years. i got an early recording, which was terrible, and jammed out for hours. then they recorded their first major cd, and it was neck-breaking, with fast transitions, wild guitars, and the "hardcore clap" that began at their first concert. this sophomore release, on facedown records, brings the band into a new era of musical composition, ranging from the hardcore punk influence of the early eighties to the metal influence of bands like living sacrifice and spitfire, along with a tone reminiscent of dillinger escape plan. but my favorite part of all is the blues breakdown in "kyrie"--i've never heard anything like it! of course, knowing the writers and hearing it three months in advance may make me a little biased, but truly, this band is going to press the next generation to come up with something half this thrilling and amazing. buy it. buy it without thought. it's worth every penny.

i actually love this album and more lost senses better than their previous album. don't get me wrong, this band is still good, but when i heard their new one, it didn't really have that sense of uniqueness as this album. so yeah, this album is a defenite plus to buy.

Nodes of Ranvier is a great album...although both are really good, the first album "Lost Senses, More Innocence" was a bit better and more enjoyable to listen to. Nodes of Ranvier is hard, but not too hard...emotional beats and instrumentals, and spiritual lyrics... Nodes of Ranvier is another one of those Christian Metalcore bands from Facedown Records that you should check out.

This album is too good to not have a review, so I am here to tell you that this is an amazing CD! I am no good at comparing bands, but I listen to Underoath, Zao, Norma Jean, Society's Finest... so, if you like those, just buy it already!
