| The vocalist reminds of the guy from Oh! Sleeper. The clean vocals sound just like the guy from Skillet. |

| So I bought the album today. It is absolutely wonderful. Huge improvements from the last album. The guitarwork and the drumming is especially great. I recommend you guys give it a try at least. |

| Last time I checked these guys out, the only thing that came to mind was that these guys were a joke. But, that was a while ago, i'll have to give another listen.

| So I checked them out again, the new stuff. It was good until clean vocals. The clean vocals honestly make these guys suck.
I love the screaming, if it was straight scream or not those cleans, I might have gone and bought this. But with what is, these guys are no different from any other screamo/metalcore act out there.

Honestly, I find this album to be simply awesome. They don't follow the metalcore sound as closely as they did on the previous album. This guy can sing. I admit, I preferred the clean vocals of the old vocalist, but the new one has grown on me. The album is also not littered with breakdown after breakdown. Now I love a band that can pull off great breakdowns, but this band is just not heavy enough. They have the occasional breakdown, which works perfectly.
Call this album generic, but it's a step forward from the debut into getting out of overplayed metalcore niche. |

When you call anything with harsh vocals "screamo", it makes as much sense as calling anything with distorted guitar "heavy metal".

| I didn't really like the new album, but the old album, Saints, is fairly enjoyable. Lately I've been really hooked to the song "Without Sight", nice blend of clean and screaming vocals. It's too bad they broke up, they seemed to have a good amount of potential. |
