Upon first listen of this cd i thought "well it's solid, first 4 songs are weak then it picks up" and thought the latter part of the cd was the best.......even though I still thought really only songs 5,7&11 were the only 5 star songs. But I figured i'd better give it once more listen. This is definitely a second listen with all ears to realize it's not only A. great hardcore cd and B. Their best. Best production wise, lyrically and by musicianship. My complaint however is how on some songs they end unexpectedly when they could go on to be the albums best, and song 9 which is simply a filller, nearly 30 second intro track that should've been a whole song. If you love melodic, heartfelt hardcore with something valuable to say (and yes some mosh parts.) or just a Verse fan then pick this up. I would however, and sorry Verse, say that if you're into this type of hardcore pick up the new Have Heart cd first - probably one of the best hardcore cd's to come out in a few years and is in this same style.

This is a great CD. Some of the songs are a little slower, but then they make up for it by going into fast parts. There are also a lot of parts without vocals and completely instrumental song, which is pretty cool. Standout tracks are Weather To A Stone, We Were Here, Stolen, and Follow Conform Repeat.

Another kickass band on Rivalry Records, these guys show more diversity than most of their counterparts. Currently developing into one of the leaders in hardcore today. I expect more good things from them. Oh, and pick this up.
