Full review
this album is amazing, the second by this band and just as good as the first. the album opens with the adrenaline packed 'devil in a midnight mass', and leads smoothly onto 'red flag' which opens with its simple but mesmerising drum beat and 'gang' vocals (the whole band singing). Then 'this suffereing comes along, with its simple guitar intro and melodic singing, the chorus to this one will have you singing along by the second time you've heard it. 'Worker Bees' s the next track on the album, a potent metaphor the west world invading the east, and done with a pretty damn catchy riff and the high pitch scraming of Benjamin Kowalewicz. you just cant go wrong with that.the next track is 'pins and needles' with its potent out of tone style intro and emotion filled lyrics, its a winner. next up we have 'fallen leaves' nice intro riff, nice chorus riff, and nice slow verse vocals, again, a really good track. coming up next we have 'where is the line' a stab at all these new 'trendy' indy bands that seem to be all the rage at the moment. the next track on the album is 'coverd in cowardice' again, another track with nice slow verse lyrics followed by Benjamin Kowalewicz's awesome screaming for the chorus. then we have 'surrender' another slow emotive track, with a very nice sounding melodic chorus. then 'the navy song' slow and punchy verses with a slightly louder more energetic chorus. next we have 'perfect world' a more energetic track about what i can only assume is an ex girlfriend, more of a hate song than a love song. then we have sympathy, with very bass orientated verses and powerfl choruses. finaly 'burn the evidence' a song about someone caught up in suburban misery, and determined to get out of it.

And the album has really good artwork, there's a different little picture in the booklet for each song, all very well drawn and fit the songs they represent perfectly.

The whole albums just flows really well. there isnt a bad track on it. i would definetly recomend this album.
