I like the effects of this CD, all the different songs flow into each other, they are all arranged carefully, the end of 'Foreword' melds with the beginning of 'Don't stay' really nicely, it adds to the feeling of harmony and peace I get from this album! However this could just be because I'm playing from my laptop music files. When I used to play this on my CD player, there was too long a pause between the songs, meaning that I could tell between the beginning and endings, which made the flow of the album much lower in quality!

Price: - I've lost the CD case so I don't actually know what price I got this for (having said that was actually a nice presentation for the inlay etc!) found online that its between £6.97-£8.75

This starts with a thunderclap, just crashes and bashes; you hear a pipe crashing against something and what sounds like a window breaking which signifies the beginning of 'Don't Stay'

This starts with breaking glass sound and follows on with a bass beat and guitar, very kick ass, this calms down so that you can hear the vocals but it doesn't completely fade out. It's basically explained in the song title - the singer is telling someone to clear off!
Chorus: Don't stay. Forget our memories forget our possibilities what you were changing me into just give me myself back and don't stay! Forget our memories forget our possibilities, take all your faithlessness with you, just give me myself back and don't stay!
Its a loud song and it resonates something inside me - it could be a brutal relationship where one half had really gone to work on the other half with emotional bullshit and blackmail until the poor person didn't know which way was up or down, or it could be in the case of a friendship with similar power struggles as it can happen between two guys, two girls or a guy and a girl.

This starts off very calm and makes me feel like I'm walking through a place where I am not really relating to anything - like in a movie when a person gets hit in the head and vision goes blurry and they can't hear anything -the introductory bars definitely have that kind of feel to them. However it goes into a purely kick ass riff and all kinds of turbulence and in a way a 'back to reality' feel come pouring out of your speakers
Chorus: I wanna heal I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I held so long (erase all the pain till it's gone) I wanna find something I wanted all along somewhere I belong
- is this not the typical teen cry out?! You're going through the wonderful storm of puberty and onto better and brighter things? No! You just get deeper into life which has no sign of clearing away from troubled waters and into that wonderful beach resort that you were so sure that you were going to gain at some point in life. It is the basic cry of the masses - where can I fit in and be safe? Where do I belong?

5. Hit The Floor (*)

Basically this song is saying that it's easier to run away from all your problems rather than face them, however it's not so much advocating the option of running away it's more along the lines of summing up definitely how I have felt in the past - the total and utter helplessness that completely suffuses the body, swamps the mind and binds the soul - you cannot do anything and there is no point to anything. Having said that I actually really do like this song - I don't know why but it's not depressing - it's actually relatively uplifting! Lol, maybe because it's a song theme therefore it's gotta be a relatively common thing - so it's not just me and a few mates that feel like this.

I don't know who to trust no surprise heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies… these are the opening lyrics which are sung very plaintively, it's about betrayal and deceit and how trying to trust a certain person is very difficult and tiring and it feels so pointless.
'Take every day from the inside and throw it all away cos I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you.' I like the chorus lyrics because to me at least it's reinforcing the 'what's the point?' feeling of this song cos if you take away the inside of a day then there is practically nothing to it as the outside of the day would be the twilight and night time hours which are usually spent sleeping. Ok that is very important and therefore has worth and meaning however no real and useful actions are committed.

Try to give u warning but everyone ignores me (told you everything loud and clear) but nobodies listening. Call to u so clearly but u don't wanna hear me (told you everything loud and clear) but nobodies listening. Ever feel like that? Like no matter how hard you try to get through to someone and tell them something important you just can't? It just seems impossible at times doesn't it? I usually have this problem with my mom - I never seem to be able to grab the right moments for her - if she's not insanely busy then she's trying to relax can she have five minutes peace please?

I guess I like this CD so much because I can empathise with the feelings that the songs seemed to be filled with, enjoy listening to them and actually the heavy rock style music actually sooths me to sleep and if I have a headache!
