despite my relatively low grading of this particular album, you shouldn't take that too closely. though i don't personally care for music of this nature, what's here is done rather well and is comparable to any variety of bands currently plaguing the radio. if you're into "modern" rock (read: nu metal) of any sort, a la breaking benjamin, chevelle, linkin park, and *shudder* nickelback, you would do well to check this one out.
there is some neat use of keyboards and some fairly tight drumming - which i personally to be found more interesting than the songs themselves, though they are fairly competently played. however, the production is a little raw sounding, but that doesn't really hamper the tracks, though it might prevent them from getting much radio play.
like i said though, i'm not really into this type of music and for that reason i can't personally recommend it to anyone who isn't particularly into the aforementioned music.
