This album never officially got released, sadly! This album would have been one of those albums that turned so many heads. This band was great while they lasted. I would have bought this album in a heartbeat. This band had everything, great music structure, great vocals, great drumming, great guitar, great bass, great sound and a sound that is worth listening too over and over again. One of the main things is they sound sort of like Born Of Osiris mixed with miss may i, but they have their own sound they only have some parts that sort of sound like those two. Lyrically this band is something to listen too, the lyrics are just great. The vocals defiantly show the emotions trying to be given out. The vocalists are talented and they clearly show every ounce of their talents. A few songs that really stick out, Picture Perfect, The Decline, Oceans apart, Death Wish, Deal With It, Deal With It and Death Wish are the two hate focused songs, and the lyrics express the hate message the song is trying to give out. The decline sticks out because the emotion, it's more of a "i miss you" type thing and the vocalist clearly shows that emotion, the vocal tone and lyrics match up so well in this song/interlude it's just too perfect. One thing this band really had was something a lot of bands lack, expressing the emotion they're trying to give out in every song, this band does that just perfectly. It really does suck that this band never really got to release this album it would have been a hit and probably the next big thing to come out in the scene today. I must say, i seriously want this band to make a come-back and write another album or just a song. There are just no words to describe how much talent was in this band they sounded different and something that was worth listening to over and over again without ever getting old or tiring. This band could have seriously turned some heads in their career, not a single doubt about that.
Breakdown:
Cleans: The clean vocalist definitely has a new style for his clean vocals that made the band stick out. The range differs for sure from high to low.
Screams: The screamer goes hard, literally. His screams are loud and his style is different, he honestly sounds pissed off when he screams and when he has the "sad" type of screams they're just louder. One talented screamer and this once again would have turned so many heads.
Instruments: The instruments in a way sound sort of like Born Of Osiris and Miss May I. There are a few breakdowns in songs and mini-breakdowns. This band is a mixture of soft and heavy, but everything flows together really well. A few songs have places where it doesn't flow correctly or sound right, other than that there's little mistakes.

Rating: 10/10
