2.0 out of 5 stars Lacks any substance and that Nonpoint fire, November 20, 2007

There's just a whole lot missing from this album. Nonpoint has been aggressive and melodic at the same time in their songs, but that seems to be out the window in favor of what seems to be your generic hard rock riffs, with a whole lot of screaming layered over it.

Now it's not that Nonpoint doesn't have a whole lot of screaming on previous albums, but Elias always had that way of sticking those soft and melodic parts in there that really helped make the song. On the new album that's almost gone in favor of just screaming and screaming. Nonpoint has always been a fun band to sing along with, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

The guitars have gone from the incredible tone on To The Pain to a generic hard rock sound. Their riffs have gone from interesting to circular riffs that just repeat over and over, causing many of the songs to sound very much alike.

Nonpoint has been one to change their sound quite a bit, but this one simply isn't working for me.

It simply feels like they've taken two steps back in this music writing after taking a huge step forward with To The Pain.

This album is not their best but it is ok. The first track wake up world is good. along with What I do best, Breathe, March of war, A way out, and when its over. Those are my favorite tracks. And they make the album well worth buying. If your thinking of checking out this group, check out Statement or Recoil. Those (in my opinion) are the best.

This a killer album! from 'wake up world' to 'when it's over' its a whirl wind of bombastic and sonic glory. Nonpoint really put a lot of effort into this album and it shows. My personal favorites are 'every body down', 'bring me down', 'vengence', 'when its over', and the first single ' march of war'. This album certainly captures the energy of their live shows and relentless touring. With the exception of 'Breathe', a soulful and interesting ballade-like tune, this album will be sure to knock some sense into the music industry and create more fans to Nonpoint's ever loyal fan base. As the title track says, this album is a middle finger to the nay sayers and doubters of Nonpoint and is statement that they are here to stay. Nu-Metal may have become unpopular but it is certainly still alive and kicking. I went to a show of theres at the Croc Rock in Allentown, Pa, where the bassist broke his toe and continued to play due to the bands total respect of their fans. NU-METAL FOREVER!
