Hey @CiG have you listened to that Critical Defiance album?
I'm starting to rethink my statement about the music being better than the artwork.
I haven't listened to it all yet but I'm a bit under whelmed by what I have heard, the single "What About You" appears to be the best song on the album.
It's probably worth giving a chance to make up your own mind but I was hoping for more than they delivered. Although the bandcamp stream might be a less than perfect quality too so that might have had something to do with it.
I really enjoy the main riff, but the chorus is dangerously reminiscent of Iron Will... However, it's a great singalong track as expected. I feel really good about the upcoming album; hopefully it's better than Sword Songs which was somewhat underwhelming after the excellent Triumph and Power.
