For those with the inherent love for the classic BYD, you don't have to worry too much about a "New Coke" fiasco coming about because Myke does a fine job taking over the new spot. It actually reminds me of when Killswitch Engage recruited Howard Jones (not cause he was black too but cause their voices are similar). And the familiar hardcore of BYD is still around and kicking. The jumbling double bass drums and the pounding riffs that chug together in unison which haven't changed much over time.

   While I'm not much of a fan of non melodic hardcore, I will say that this is some of the best general pounding/shout hardcore that I have heard. And while their third album "Beauty & The Breakdown" was more well received then their other CDs (I liked it more too), this record is a step in a new direction. It is always good to switch it up and while this self-titled piece does have that in spots while also having familiar sections to not alienate fans, they have a pretty standard record here.
