This album came out last summer and has been doing quite well on the Rock charts, even currently. I had heard a track or two on some form of radio, not really knowing what I was listening to. Then I read something about them being an Aussie band who were fans of one of my favorites, The Living End. So I decided to give it a shot based on their influence. Well, there is no Living Endsound on here, just homogeneous LA screamo you hear continuously on today's Rock stations. It's competently performed, hooky at times, perfect for young metal fans, which I am not anymore. Every now and then it came off like the angry side of Blue October, but all formula and no passion. I didn't keep the first track...
