I lack the long-term effect, unfortunately, only the variability in pieces, with some guitar Make you feel like you have heard ever. And the harder pieces sound at first erstmal quite equal, the same phenomenon as with Creed.
Among the texts: 3 Threads: either pure propaganda à la "we rock" (here makes the text easy variability to be desired), or shit ex-girlfriend, or two to three songs with really good deep lyrics.
Nevertheless, everything is going a little too smoothly in my eyes. And it smells a little teenie Rockfabrik.
All in all, I can still only say; one of the best debut albums I've heard for a long time. The guys are definitely on the right track. I would like just a redistribution in the weighting of the texts. Say more of the draft, a little less propaganda, or even better, there are also cheap propaganda with brains :).
Still, all in all convinces the album and the first impression is confirmed. But certainly in need of improvement, a great start!
