Like SW but more current. Some electronica but much more heavier guitars. The remix of "Afraid" is excellent. "Alone" is as close to SW as you'll hear. "Rise Again" will stay in your ears for weeks. Chris's vocals are great as they always have been. Walter's keyboards add so much depth. Johnny's drums will always stand out. Carlton's guitars = awesome. Brent gets a great bass part in "Still Believe"
Just bought this yesterday. All songs are great, even the remakes and remixes from the Pre-Op CD.
The best songs are "Every Trace", "Too Late", "There Will be Blood", "Breathing". and "End in Tears".
All songs are heavy (like Westward and "Etched In Blood"). A few songs have an "electronica" vibe but I think they're still good.
Chris' vocals are always strong. Guitars and drums are powerful. Can't wait to hear this over my good headphones.
I like the remakes off of the Pre-Op CD (Puppet, Stitches, Solo Crucifixion, Always and Never). Music and Lyrics have changed enough to make the old songs new again.
(Thankx to Lou Brutus who played "Every Trace" on SiriusXM, that made my day).
What's great about it: Lyrics, Guitars, Bass, Drums
What's not so great: I wish there were fewer of the remakes/remixes
