I woke up early just to traipse down to Cheshire Oaks for this album...IN THE RAIN!! After Madina Lakes new album, I was left hungry for more...then I heard their Track Never Take Us Alive On MTV2. I was amazed, the band are better than before. So I researched when the new album would be out...I had a month to wait...I didn't think I would last that long.
The Band formed in early 2005 and released their first full length albumFrom Them Through To Us in 2007.

Never Take Us Alive 5/5
This is just the start of the album and Im already impressed. Great amazing beat. Superb Vocals and lyrics and...the bass line? Well lets just say I was soo impressed I got the tabs and learnt it in one day, I wouldn't stop until I had learnt it.
The track has a brilliant Music video often featured on Kerrang! Scuzz or MTV2 and if you don't want to sit endlessy waiting for it to be played again then go on youtube and search it...trust me you will be amazed...the band got even better!
Let's Get Outta Here 5/5
Second Track still majorly impressed. The Vocals are just like...wow, some awesome lyrics well written. The tune of the track is catchy...very catchy. I love the beat it goes awesomly with the bass line. The backing vocals which sound like distant yells give the track that little edge it needs.
Legends 4/5
This is a great track that reminds me of a Muse song but I can't think which...This band in my oppinon are better than Muse anyway..Not keen on them. I love the rhythm it sound kind of robotic and That I think is great, The bass line really stands out at the chorus where you can't really hear the rhythm and you can tell that it is excellent.
Criminals 4/5 A fastish tempo with some great Vocals, Catchy chorus and an ace beat. I like the little Piano melody you hear during the chorus is makes the track a little eerie but superb at the same time.
Through The Pain 5/5
I like the beginnig of the track most with the guitar picking, The vocals are flawless and Nathan Leone has a great voice, which he proves excellently in this track. The lyrics are well written and go well with the bass line when sung.
Never Walk Alone 5/5
This is a brilliant! Brilliant! track I absoloutley love it, I think I like the beat more than anything, it is just so interesting to listen to. Bass line goes well with the vocals, This track has interesting lyrics too.
Not For This World 5/5
I love the lyrics to this track and the bass line. It is an attention grabbing track I found I wanted to leave the CD running but go down stairs and get a drink but this track started as I stood up and I sat back down to listen to it not wanting to pause it, The chorus is extremely catchy espesially the lyrics of it and 01:40 into the song is the vocal bridge..amazing simply amazing!
Welcome To Oblivion 5/5 This is my favourite track off the album, I love the line 'Cause now we know there's people like us' It's the message behind it that I love most, the band are telling those that feel like outkasts for liking different things that they are not alone. It may not seem like it but it makes a different when bands put a message like that in their music, it gives their fans hope. The beat to this track is splendid :).
Silent Voices Kill 5/5 This is an immense track with an awesome rhythm and excellent vocals. The chorus is just brilliant, and 02:00 into the track their is a great little riff, not a long one jus a few seconds but it makes all the difference.
Statistics 5/5 A great upbeat track with ace vocals, a beat to melt the brain a bass line to get your head nodding and a rhythm you will never forget...simply put but its the truth. also the lyrics are really interesting.
Friends&Lovers 5/5 An awesome eerie track, you can tell from the second it starts. The tempo of the vocals and the tune Nathan Leone carries out tells you that. The beat is deep and simple but effective and it has a low but hearable rhythm, Great track all together and The lyrics have a little bit of a meaning to me.
'"Lila, The Divine Game 4/5''' This is a great track even if it is just instrumental, which it actually isn't you can hear faint vocals in the back ground not very loud but you can still hear them. The piano on its own would just be good enough I dont think they would honestly need the beat although it is what gives the extra effect.
I love this Album I really do, It was well worth the treck in the rain, It is thouroughly recomended to all those who love Madina Lakes Previous stuff, I can gurantee you will love this. I paid £10 roughly and I don't regret a penny of it. I have transfered the whole album to my phone and I listen to it on my way to school so I am getting my moneys worth really. It is a great album honest to god, you will not be throwing your money away.
