"This hasn't been done before!" So states the first track, "Original," a poke at the whole originality debate that, depending on your viewpoint, plagues the Christian market. While the band's early work were all about ska-influenced rock, this record has less ska, more rap, and it's all rock & roll to me. A lot of the rap comes across similarly to bands like 311, and all amid bass lines that are heavier than a load of firewood.

With mostly able songwriting and an all-around fun groove, Silage is poised to reach youth.
