What would the typical band signed to a small indie-label do when both guitarists and the drummer quit in the same week? Most likely break up, but vocalist Pierrick and bassist Paris did just the opposite and nearly impossible. They found two new guitarists and a new drummer and proceeded to write and record their follow-up to 2005's "Just Breathe." The result? MUCHO BETTER. To be specific, heavier guitar riffs, more dynamic drumming, a broader vocal range, more impressive lead-guitar work, catchier hooks, more complex vocal harmonies, and insanely insightful lyrics. Pick it up if you're into any kind of rock music. It has something for everyone.

This band brings more of a classic rock and traditional rock feel to emo. There are good guitar solos on this album and overall the music is pretty good. Compare that with some good vocals and a talented band of songwriters and you have a good cd. This CD has some appeal to people outside of the genre as well. Not your simple emo band.

While this album could be labeled many types of styles which im sure are only detrimental to the actual music, i would say they are a heavier, faster paced version of the more popular "emo/hardcore" scene ... a great cd with great transitions, breakdowns, intros and flow overall. This is one of those cds that you can play and will not be inclined to skip any particular song or section in order to get to the next song you might have heard before. I have never heard their other cd but i do have to say this is one of my favorite ... listen to ill make it to the brigades and try to not get into it. They rock, plain and simple.

Ok i don't wanna start a fight over this or anyhting, but i just didn't enjoy this as much as Just Breathe, i mean for what it is it's very good, but Just Breathe had somthing that this album lacks.i have to admit i like the gutair better on this one tho. over all tho i did ejoy it. i give it a 4/5.

My 15 year old daughter immediately put this on her iPod, so it must be a great CD!
