One of the first things that grabs you, aside from the band's incredibly thick and powerful sound, are the fabulous harmonies present throughout the album as they are on the opening juggernaut track "Believe." I personally dig how they structure their songs, for there's a great balance between the music and frontman Timmi Ward's vocals. The energy of their songs is something you feed off of from the very beginning of each tune due in large to the driving guitar of Curt Granger. One of the standout tracks on this effort is the Nü Metal-esque "Burn," which blew my ball bag clean off when I first heard it! This tune just rocks my face off — I love the vibe in the verses, and I can't get the lyrics of the chorus out of my head: "Don't look but guess who's back / Steamrollin' down the track / I'm ready to attack".  This one definitely has radio potential in today's market. "More & More" is another highlight tune that is quickly becoming my new fave on this disc! Great tones, great lyrics, killer attitude and a downright tasty solo, but what really brings the full-on chubbage and chill bumps sumpin' fierce is the song's outro section with Curt's layering of choice guitar licks atop these beautifully lush chordings — it's so ethereal and spacey in a King's X-meets-Pink Floyd kinda way. The whole album is chock full o' energy from start to finish. The songs all have their own vibe, hook and they stand on their own.
