This is one of those cd's I expected to rock, since the first splender CD blew me away--and I mean every song--this album just doesn't have that dark, catchy feel to it. The lyrics fall flat, and that seriously saddens me, because I waited so long for it to come out. The last song on the cd is the only good cut, and captures the feel of Splender. The rest are dull, and not worth the time. Hope the guys come out with something from a label who understands them, cause J Records doesn't.
