This CD, in my opinion, was Taproot's best CD as far as heavy riffs, and deep lyrics. If you like numetal, you should definately consider buying this CD. Stephen Richards' voice could almost be considered "whining", but it falls in perfectly with the rest of the music. Plus, he can actually sing. The song "I" proves the band can tone things down a bit, as well. The entire CD is excellent, and I haven't taken it out of my CD player since I bought it. It's PERFECT. 5 Stars!Taproot's second CD, "Welcome", is a must-have as well. While they obviously did tone things down to make their songs more melodic, the CD as a whole, is once again perfect.
