The music is really good, arrangements etc. but somehow I don't think the vocals do the songs justice. Whenever the voice stands alone, not framed by guitar or other instruments, it sounds pale and... unconvinced. Really ruins it for me :/
It's nicely done, but it doesn't catch me. "Again" with the moody interlude was better in that regard, but most songs just blend into a hectic background after listening for a few minutes. *shrug* You should listen for yourself though.
Rough-cut at the corners, but well delivered young rock. Sometimes the two vocals don't quite add up ("Burn"), and sometimes the instruments hum along a bit unmotivated, and some arrangements sound a bit like experiment in progress ("US"). But the general theme is well arranged rock, played with passion. If they'd play live I'd stay to listen. Looking forward to their next album (direction absolutely right, now go further :)).
If you are in a hurry, listen to: "Each tear" (agreeable/melodic/vocals) or "Tell me" (instruments).
