I don't know how they do it, but once again Drive Thru Records found a band that perfectly meets all my requirements. Well, almost perfectly: some parts on this CD are definitely a little too screamy for this sissy. But the majority of the tracks are very creative and extremely powerful without abandoning melodic elements. "Letters To You", which also appeared on the "Falling Into Place" EP was re-recorded for this album and thanks to Mark Trombino's knob-twisting expertise it sounds magnificent. Let's express it with a metaphore: it sounds like a ferocious dog that's held in leash by a man who knows exactly what he's doing. Get it now? Neither do I. "Stay With Me" clearly reflects Finch's punk rock influences and man I love that song. More highlights on the album include "Without You" and "Ender", an incredible outburst of energy and the perfect ending for this mighty album. Finch successfully crosses boundaries, something that many top-acts fear, and I love it.
