From the first moment I started to crank up the first song I was able to hear the funkadelic flavors that made this band unique. The vocals that curveball out of Ray were however spot on duplications of Audioslave's Chris Cornell. Their fastidious wild guitars climb up and down the fret ladder in power chord fashion but with solos to help solidify the sounds. Each song gets your toes tapping with a slower progression of effects guitars and inspirational lyrics. The Jimi Hendrix style of freeing guitars that seem to leap off the record is a nice addition to the over all mix and flow.

   Although you can hear a difference in this amalgamation of influences that make up this record, you can't escape the outrageous similarities of the popping bass, Morello inspired guitars, and Cornell mimicked vocals. Now, on several songs, they take a break from the talent show of Audioslave and swerve off in a song that sounds different and a better fit for them if you ask me. This other side of their music is a technical alt rock strummer's guide to a successful album and got me excited to hear more. I will say that the lyrics through out the album are fairly well written and inspire provocative thought in the best way possible.

   The first song that really stood out for me was "Indecision" because of the detour that it took from the similar paths of others. It was a more calm and echoed alternative rock adventure that allowed me to see the glint of hope in this band. And even the songs that are remarkably similar to other artists, such as "The Clutter," and "Legend Of A Native Woman" are really on point with their likeness. "Solstice" is an acoustic playground of soft vocals and fragile resonating guitars. Showing promise as a band that can easily go unplugged is another virtue that is very important.
