Fourth and first real album release from My Ransomed Soul, this is probably my favorite out of the four releases they have. This album is spine chilling, every song has bone cutting screams, even though they’re not deep like they were on the first release they’ve gotten way better, it seems the other releases were just building up to this release. This album is really good for an unsigned band, it definitely has some spine chilling breakdowns as well as vocals, and this album is full of surprises from the band. The screams are the main thing I like about this album, I wasn’t too fond of screams on the other releases, but this time it’s something I can enjoy, The clean vocals pop up a little bit more on this album than they did on the other releases. A few songs that stick out on this album would have to be, A Modern Plague, The Sleepless Dreamer, The Chains That Bind Us, Clouded Minds. A Modern Plague was the song that really made this album come alive, and shows the true power from this band, the vocals on the song are seriously spine chilling the sound of the song is bone cutting. One of the best songs My Ransomed Song has wrote I’m kind of hoping for more songs that sound like this and have the flow to them like this one did, it’s great song could be a bit more heavier in my opinion, but other than that it’s still a great song to listen to and something that really made this album come alive. The Chains That Bind Us is another song that kind of helps the album come alive, it has the same sound as A Modern Plague, kind of heavier though, the lyrics on this song are a bit more enjoy able to listen to I have to say, the clean vocals really bring this song alive, the clean vocals changed again from the first release sadly, but they do a lot better and should stay with this style, it is one of the best, and it fits really well with the band’s sound.
Breakdown:
Clean: The clean vocals are a little bit more on this album
than they were on the other releases, which isn’t really a bad thing, they
really add more to the band’s sound and make the songs on this album more
enjoyable to listen to.
Screams: The screamer has changed a lot on every release,
but on this album is where it sounds better than it did, besides the first
release which just amazing, I do miss the deep growls the screamer had, it
sucks he changed his style, but if they continue to sound like they do on this
release, it won’t be all that bad, the screamers style now is kind of spine
chilling in all the good ways, stoked on listening to more from this band if
anything.
Instruments: Their instrument play has gotten so much better
from older releases, much heavier and has more of a flow to it, which only
makes their songs better to listen to and more of an alive feeling, I hope they
only get better in their future of being a band.
Rating: 8/10
