Hits: This CD is both brutal and beautiful. xDSx fully maximizes the use of four vocalists. The song "Scars" is my favorite on the album because of the aggressive drums, and the just as scary guitar. "Red Asphalt" is my second favorite song on the CD because it is about being loyal to your friends. The thing that makes this song stand out over the countless other songs about friendship is the fact that the songwriter states he is willing to bleed for his friends. That is pretty powerful.
Misses: This CD can be overwhelming to some just because of its brutality. Everything about this album is straight up in your face. The lyrics in pretty much every song are about someone who either gave up on the straightedge lifestyle or someone who betrayed the friendship that the songwriter had with said person. Thus the CD may be overwhelming to certain people.
The Bottom Line: This CD has good lyrics and good everything else, so why not buy it?
