They of course don't continue to be quite as catchy when the songs pace slow to a near stop on "Playing Dead" and "Sing" both I didn't really get much from upon the first couple of runs of the album. The band are one step from being too close to that piece of shit band Avenged Sevenfold. But they usually fall on the right side. The ballad "Last Song" is actually a good track that has power and depth with a hook included. I enjoy this one over the previous two mentioned for sure. At sixteen tracks this album is long and drawn out which could have been better by being more concise.
They hit radio friendly at the number thirteen titled "Hate You" which should garner them mucho plays. The album closes the studio parts with a cover song and well everyone should know by now how much I love cover songs! This one is a reading of the Simon & Garfunkel masterpiece "Sound Of Silence" which is obviously in the short list of greatest ballads of all-time and very near the top. Bobaflex do it all absolutely right, they make no mistakes in covering such an endearing piece of music. They stay true to the depth and deep sadness of the melody and breath wonderful grit into the breathy vocals which actually adds to the song. The band show great appreciation of the intricate simplicity allowing it to stay true to itself while sounding modern and inspiring.
I have to say that this band and album overall are impressive and I really enjoy the majority of the record even with if I have to eliminate the filler tracks with a quick press of the skip button.
