What the... I had completely written these guys off as a toothless pop band, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I like how they dare to be unapologetically catchy and mainstream, but then suddenly bite your face off. If this is what's playing on the radio these days, I have no objections.

Very good album!

Rather commercial for here, ain't it? (not that I'm complaining, though. Great album.)

Very good for a pop rock hard rock commercial band but not more than 3 or 4 tracks

Very surprised to find this band here as I do not believe they really belong on Metalstorm as comparable bands like Evanescence (in my opinion a better band, especially on their lesser known post-Fallen releases) are blacklisted, but perhaps future material may prove me wrong. This exemplifies music I would have gotten into heavily in middle or high school, yet ultimately have grown out of since my late teens.

This album sounds more like a mix of Nickelback and Avaril Lavigne than Evanescence.

Slightly underwhelming compared to the debut, mainly because the album takes a downward slump in quality towards the end, but once again the best songs are at the beginning. I mean, Halestorm know hot to kick the jams out and give a damn good first impression, but then again, maybe they can't ever get a fully consistent record out where all 12 songs are as solid as each other. Whatever, songs like 'I miss the Misery' and 'Beautiful with You' are songwriting gold.

It's just a wanna-be album.
