This was a highly anticipated album for me because their previous album (Dead or Dreaming) kicked so much ass. This band is the real deal. I saw them live and they blew me away. Before the show people were asking who they were. After the show they were talking about how they stole it. What I loved about the band back then is still prevalent now, diversity. This album is no different and kicks off in high gear. The first track, “Splintered Visions” has one of the best opening guitar parts of any cd out there. Once I heard it I knew I was going to be in for a ride. The epic chorus had me head bobbin’ and the 80s style vocals mixed with the growls made the song that much more enjoyable. The vocals are done brilliantly in this band. The vocal harmonies, high and low end vocals, you can tell that a lot of effort was put forth into making this masterpiece.

One of the highlights is “Beginning of the End,” which starts off with a brutal machine gun riff that quickly destroys any notion of a hair band. This track simply destroys. The solo in this song is eyebrow raising as the guitar prowess of the band is displayed. Every song introduces you to a new guitar melody than is extremely pleasing to the ear. What I really love about this album is they way they are able to craft riffs that convey the words and emotions of a particular song. In “Spiraling Into Depression” certain parts of the riff create a feeling of spiraling due to the hectic nature of the riff.

They are also not afraid to show their softer side. “Buried In Oblivion” and “Morose Seclusion” slow the pace down and bring in the acoustic guitar to serve up some emotional melodies.

Jelkster’s Bottom Line: Album of the year candidate. If you don’t have this album, get it. You won’t regret it.
