Review: This second album keeps the same creative line as the previous, but this time the guys seem more nervous and even melancholic. The same groove, the same forceful rhythms, the same emo-guitar tunes here and there, same almost-MTV/almost-underground tracks, same great sound and production (maybe better this time). So what's new on this one? A much bigger dose of emotion, that's for sure, a better choesion between the guys, although the bass player was replaced, and more catchy tunes. The 4th track, a ballad-like one (piano/acoustic guitar/voice), is simply awesome; that made me say the vocalist has the same potential as the ones from System Of A Down or Korn. The 7th, again a ballad but this time an instrumental one, carries so much emotions and serenity that makes me close my eyes and enjoy a good cigarette alone with my thoughts. Thanks for it guys! These 11 tracks are composed between April of 2002 and June 2003 and the resulting album is officially distributed by Plastichead so you'll find it easy. Go grab it!
