A concept reflecting the path of decent / disintegration followed by the recovery re-affirmation they felt in their own lives and this is the second part.
Taking the very DIY approach, this has a very live feel as it was recording live in the studio, direct to tape.
For alternative rock / grunge it is well written, and opens with political / social views. One of the tracks is an open letter to a band member's cousin who infuriatingly won't leave an abusive relationship. So the socio-commentary is very close to home.
It is also very noisy, lots of crash, some driving bass lines (a little too much fuzz at times).
At times the vocals come at you thick and at times are fired out like a rap.
The music is heavy enough to stop the alternative feel being too jangly.
Bang up the street of Metal Hammer and Kerrang!
If you like stripped down heavy alternative you'll like this. ***
