This is an album that just lives in your CD player.  One of the few albums you can listen to again and again without ever getting bored.  I first seen the band live and was blown away by their performance; tight, engaging, electric and duly bought their CD.  

Right from the first track, the songs hit you.  Drowining is a fast paced, driving, anthemic rocker that you can't help but nod your head and tap your foot too (maybe even dust off your old air guitar).  Dead on Arrival has more of a dark and sinister feel, with an amazingly uplifiting chorus and a breakdown riff that even Sabbath would be proud of. Title track Tears of Perception is a progressive metal at it's best (just what is that time signature?).  It's not all heavy though, Tired and Wasted is a lighter in the air, singalong whilst Forever is a heartwrenching rock ballad.

This CD manages to be incredibly diverse, whilst incredibly coherent at the same time, a hurdle for even the best, professional bands.  The tracks stand out in their own right, yet the album has a definite 'album' feel to it.  Musically, the album is executed with consumate skill and the production help's nurture the band's sound.  A particular mention must go to Clark Preston's vocals which makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end (just like they did when I first heard Chris Cornell).  Watch out for The Jack throughout the rest of '07 and beyond.

From the bouncing pop-rock opening riff of Drowning through the stonking riffs on Dead on Arrival to the power chord finale that is Someone Else this is a seriously polished collection of melodic hard rock.  These musicians know their craft and their competence and song writing shines through on this CD.  Because all the songs are so good it is hard to pick out a favourite but for me it has to go to Tired and Wasted (the guitar truly sings) - though One By One gives it a run for its money! No song disappoints. Enjoy.
