I hadn't given these guys a good listen until a few days ago. Friend showed me new tracks and I was blown away.

EVH 5150 III for all the rhythms.
Framus cobra for leads.
Mesa triple rec for the cleans.

Saw them with For The Fallen Dreams, Legend, and I Declare War. Such a really good band. I hope this release gives them more popularity. Will be seeing them again in October and November.

apparition is cool but the mix is way better on the new stuff, and I like the remade versions of the old songs. I just think this cd is pretty damn good as a whole.

This is actually one of my favorite bands at the moment. I'm learning alot just by listening to what these guys do and how. I can't wait to put some of their influence into my style.

This record is ridiculous!

I think right now "Contact" is my favorite song (this will probably change). It starts off sounding like it could be a Scale The Summit song, with that melodic riff at :25, but when it breaks into that dissonant harmony (or whatever it is) riff at 1:15 it kills me everytime, not to mention the vocals are sick!

This album is amazing, anyone that feels "iffy" about it give it a full listen to. I know a lot of people are turned off by the vocals and the spastic changes. This is a great album as a whole. I'm glad people are posting it around on some sites and giving it the exposure it deserves.
