Haha I forgive you :)

NJA and TBD both have this groove to them that ex lives doesn't. This record didn't strike me as sub par until I gave their past two releases a spin after hearing this record. Try it and you'll know what I mean haha

Their best album, IMO. Shreds so hard all the way through.

Sounds Like Nickelback

So, is it just me or is there a perfectly buried in the mix piano rockin straight 8th notes on "Revival Mode"?

album is unbelievably good. wow.

"Revival Mode" really reminds me of newer Finch.

This was a great album by a great band, plain and simple. Some sings reminded the listener of Hot Damn!, while others echoed sounds of Big Dirty. Anyone who loves hardcore, or wants a beautifully orchestrated introduction to the genre, pick up this, or any, ETID record. No disappointments!

Such a great album

Wow.

I'm absolutely blown away by this record. Easily their best since Hot Damn, and it's not even close. I've already listened to this more than I have the last 3 records combined...

What's your opinion on this?

I have yet to listen to the record. I'm a real casual ETID listener, so I really don't know what I'll think of it.

Gotcha. I was just wanting a Christian's perspective on it. I used to love ETID back in the Hot Damn! era, but have since stopped abruptly.

Killer album, listened through around 60 times so far.

One thing all those listens has done is brought to my attention that the high-hat and/or cymbal was either recorded or mixed kinda shitty... Sounds like distortion / ringing if you play the CD loud enough, had to really turn it down and listen carefully to even recognize that that's what it was buried so low in the mix. Most noticeable on Partying Is Such Sweet Sorrow and the end of Revival Mode.

Had no idea I was going to like this, but I do, I really do.

Having had the opportunity to see them twice in two days didn't make things worse. Awesome band and cool guys!
