The debut underwhelmed meat first, but it became resident on my house's playlist because my son loved it and it grew on me to the point where I think its one of my albums of the noughties. The punctuation of lovely pop melodies with genuinely spicy deep guitar work works brilliantly even if some of the lyrics are teenage girl poetry.

The Rise Up tracks sounded great live last night , and also over the club PA before they cam on stage.

some of the new songs paled next to "Bleed and Scream" and "the great fall" but its not bad. I hope it is a great success, our genre needs successful new blood.
