Solid disc, sadly not as well produced as 'Heartless,' but some excellent songs in the mix. Here's a mini review I created earlier in the year:

 

1 - Damned religion - good hard rocking opener - 7.25

2 - Change yesterday - good modern rocker - 7.50

3 - Last rites - good melodic hard modern rocker - 7.25

4 - Our city sleeps - great modern hard rocker with a killer chorus - 9.50

5 - Anthem to my life - another great modern rock track with another crowd pleasing chorus hook - 9.00

6 - Turn to dust - solid modern rock - 7.25

7 - Sirens - another solid modern rocker - 7.75

8 - Tomorrow - great modern rock ballad - 9.25

9 - Glitter just like gold - killer modern hard rocker - 9.25

10 - Crystallized - great modern hard rock closer - 8.25

 

TOTAL SCORE - 83%

 

Yeah, I know it's brief as hell but basically, there are a handful of really excellent tracks on here - better than anything on 'Heartless' - but sadly the production isn't all it could and should be. But it is a good disc, well worth checking out.

I've heard this earlier this year and probably gave it around 70%-75%, pretty okay I guess
