I realized i had never written a review for this album despite posting a score, i thought i did but i was mistaken! Anyway. the mastering on this album isn't the greatest, but all that aside i do think this was a bit stronger of an album than their debut, even if some of the songs aren't my favorite. The Hell I Overcame, Dethrone, and Blood are definitely the songs that stood out to me the most in the album, and i think Noah's technique is quite unique, his screams are some of ... read more
This was a really hard listen for me, but not in a BAD way, its quite an emotional roller coaster if you listened to the band before Keaton had passed away, the opener is an incredible masterpiece, and i love the rest of the songs too!

Favorite track: Novocaine
Least Favorite: Hurt Reynolds

I thought we left filler songs when we went to CDs and didn't have to get what we paid for from tapes? A chunk of it was just listening to a girl in a voice mail, or a very big nothing burger of songs.
Anyway, for the rest of the album, I'm a fan of this ... read more
