I'm going to start this review by saying this probably won't appeal to those who can only stomach clean vocals and hate anything with a modern touch. So if that's you, you might want to stay away.

I've been sitting on it for a while though and I have to say, it's absolutely phenomenal. I kind of liked them before but never really cared for them overall, but this album just rules. Their new singer has an insane range and vocal control. He really brings a unique flavor to the band without deviating too far away from what they sounded like, and his cleans just rule. Almost reminds me of Russel Allen at times, Devy at other times.
On the musical side of things, is album has alot of "dreamy" moments. "Reaching Home" is like a metal U2. If this band knows one thing, it's creating a sense of atmosphere. The production is also flawless.
So yeah, give it a spin guys!
