Third album from For Today and probably my favorite album from these guys, this album has heavier breakdowns then the other two do. Overall this album is an improvement.  A few of the songs on this album are heavier than what you’d usually hear from For Today, they kind of changed on this album not a huge change but a good enough change. A few of their interludes sound kind of like speeches/preaching to their fans. I don’t know how many people will feel listening to those little songs, I kind of enjoyed it but in my opinion those could have been avoided.  A few songs that stick out on this album have to be, Devastator, The Advocate, Arm The Masses, and Phoenix.  Devastator was a good song to start the album off with shows their metalcore roots and how their lyrics are going to be. I’d have to say the bass drops got a little bit better from the last album they definitely got better and matured in a few different places where they kind of lacked. Their music only gets greater with each release they have, not yet have they released anything that hasn't been impressive or good. This band should make their albums a little longer than 10 songs.
Breakdown:
Cleans: The clean vocals show up on then interludes more often than the music, the preacher/speechs voice is just really emotional and you can hear that really well.
Screams: The screamers deep growls and overall style got a lot better from the last album, just a big improvement and he stays with the flow a little bit better. His vocal style is worth listening too though.
Instruments: The bass drops and the breakdowns got a lot better and heavier, the drumming on some of the songs is just truly something else and the guitar riffs got a whole lot better as well.

Rating: 9/10
