I've always had a soft spot for this band a little bit, I mean they combine pop and metal and make something different and mind blowing. This bands overall sound is completely amazing, I really like how you can hear both pop and metal elements so nicely and clearly, this is one of those bands that do something completely different and never gets noticed, un-noticed talent that deserve to get noticed. This band if anything gets your full attention on the first song, they do seriously well with the pop element though, every song you can hear it and it fits so well. A few songs that kind of stick out on this album would have to be, Mascara Queen, Burn Alive, Modern Whorefare, Leaving, And Sleeping With The Enemy. Mascara Queen is the first song on this album and it captures everything in this band’s sound, which makes it one of the songs that stick out, the chorus have the poppy feeling to them, which is where the pop element comes in, the screams have the metal feeling to them, and put those two together you have a pop metal song. Modern Whorefare is my favorite song on this album, the name has some humor to it and it intro of the song has this pop vibe with it and kind of has a rap type of a feeling to it, three genre elements to it makes it one of the best songs on this album and the one songs that are highly enjoyable on this album, plus the lyrics are well written to kind of go with the songs title. And the vocals on this song are the best in my opinion, the vocals have the best to sound to them in every song but in this song, I think they’re probably the best.

Breakdown:
Cleans: The clean vocals, have this high range and the style
has the pop type vocals with them, which is kind of where you hear the pop
element a lot from, the clean vocals are highly enjoyable though. I don’t think
there’s a song that doesn't have the clean vocals in it, which is one thing I do
enjoy about this band the vocals are in almost every song there isn't a song
where the clean vocals gets the full thing or where the screamer gets the whole
thing, they share the songs together.
Screams: The screams help out with the metal element a lot,
the screamer has this type of low screams to his vocals, there are some parts
where he goes high though, so you kind of get the best of both worlds from him,
high screams and low screams not just one.
Instruments: The instruments help in both areas, there are
some pop sounding riffs and drumming and some metal sounding riffs and
drumming, you basically get the best of both genres, which is something this
band offers, and one reason they’re as good as they are. I definitely hope this
band gets picked up soon.
