Nothing new but something worth checking out

"I never write reviews because I feel they often insult people's taste. Everyone is different and prefers different things: I try to keep this in mind when judging an artist or record. I love every style and genre of music and appreciate diversity. I usually check out every band on Solid State Records and after checking TA out the first time online I thought it was ok but nothing new. Then I checked out the cd when it came out. I only had to listen to "Burden" Track #3 and I was sold. I bought the cd and put it to the Drive Test(Some might get that movie reference). The Drive Test is a great way to test a cd out, just pop it in your car cd player and drive with no particular destination till the cd is finished. If the cd ends and you, then start trying to figure out where you are...It's a keeper.



I don't usually like to classify bands as Christian Bands because I feel like I am speaking for all the band members. They are either a ministry band to me or a band. However if You are a fan of Slipknot but have a hard time putting up with their lyrics and message, this might be your alternative. I am not saying they are copying Slipknot but they reminded me of them at times. Remember their is very little if anything new musically out there. Solid CD.....For fans of Slipknot, Demon Hunter, 7 Dust, etc.................or just music fans in general....Enjoy the Ride

"A guy at the gym recommended this album to me. I downloaded it and was blown away! There isn't a weak track on the album. They all have great vocal hooks, dynamic guitar parts, and kickin' drum beats. If you like bands like Nonpoint, Mudvayne, Ra, Chevelle, and Sevendust, you should give this album a listen!"
