Define the great line had all the hallmarks of a record I wasn’t going to like, American Christian Screamo Hardcore that would smell of that formulaic punk that poisons my internal organs. It opens with ‘to whom it may concern’ and surprisingly despite it’s heaviness, it’s godliness it is very accessible from the outset.
Kicking it in complicated and harcore made from articulated lorry chassis all twisted and then compressed into a picture of Mike Patton face contorted from penning some of his heaviest Mr Bungle moments.

That said ‘Everyone looks so good from here’ I would happily fire into space though having said that for daring to put a whining chorus through my nice tannoys.

Then the album goes on, and we have big crunching guitars ‘Writing on the walls’ then lots more of this whine. The lead singer Aaron Gillespie does impressively switch this on and off.  ‘Moving for the sake of motion’ the whine becomes lovely singing, almost serenading. ‘Casting a Thin Shadow’ is an ambient piece with what sounds like Latin or a bible reading that narrowly missed the Da Vinci code soundtrack.

After that respite 'Returning Empty Handed’ sounds like that the dojo of the circle pit has come to life and it’s warriors are let loose after having to stand still for way too long. With time changes and stabs worthy of SOAD and ending the track in Big Chord stadium rock without a whine as far as the eye can see. The best track on the album by far. Except for maybe the spazzy riffs from ‘A moment suspended in Time’

On the downside ‘Your ever so Inviting’ and the last track ‘In regards to myself’ make me want to go listen to Mike Powers Pops and find some derivative music that is made from a nice heritage.

But on the whole as good as Hardcore Christian Screamo gets. 8/10
