MyChildren MyBride (MCMB) is a high quality Christian band. When I first got into them I absolutely loved them. I would listen to them pretty much nonstop. I still remember buying the CD after listening to just one song. That's how much I liked it.

Members:
Matthew Hasting - vocals
Kyle Ray - guitar
Robert Bloomfield - guitar
Brian Hood - drums

Hits: Several songs stick out to me when I think of this album. "Faithless" has an awesome intro and its lyrics are amazing. "The Machinist" sticks out because of the lyrics, and "Choke" is by far my favorite song on the album. Its lyrics are a love song and the outro is epic. The art for this album is ridiculously amazing. It is x-rays of someone's skull and also their hands and such. Another thing that I liked about this CD is the vocals. Matthew Hasting isn't amazing, but he can still do some pretty impressive stuff with his voice. The final thing that MCMB has going for them is their breakdowns. Everyone who is in the metal scene knows how important it is to have good breakdowns. MCMB has some pretty amazing ones. The lyrics for all of their songs are good, and talk about varying things.

Misses: Everyone has their flaws and that includes MCMB. Most of the songs except for the ones I mentioned are kind of boring. When I listen to "Unbreakable" I often want to switch to a different song. Each song has something good in it, but most of the "Easter eggs" are in the middle of the songs or in the very end which is a little disappointing.

The Bottom Line: This CD is quality metalcore, and I think anyone would enjoy it.
