I heard about these guys here in the UK a year ago and i have been eagerly anticipating this album, and although i knew it would be killer, it really surpassed all my expectations! Every single track on the album blew me away! There is a great variety of songs, from the brooding heavy riffs to the soaring vocal melodies to the inspiring acoustic instrumentals. The Frontman James Dean has an instantly recognizable and powerful voice that will send chills down your spine, evoking emotion with every verse and every chorus. The guitars of Brad and Chuck are just awesome, especially the solos by Chuck Nusser which are reminscent of Tremonti and Kirk Hammitt. Geneva Areana's bass work and Nick Engles drums provide a tight and poweful rythm section that holds it all together. Its hard to pick stand out tracks, because there are no fillers on this album, but my personal favourites are 'Used', 'Long Way', 'Tyler', and 'One Addiction'. 

If you are a fan of modern hard rock you owe it to yourself to check this record out and buy a copy to support the band. I get tired of all the same bands putting out the same crappy sound. Barrelbright offer something new and are a cut above the rest! Expect these guys to make big waves in the near future!!!!
