The sonic clarity on this disc is slightly impaired by a few weak vocal performances. Thankfully, there are several different lead vocalists. One high point (or low point, depending on the listener's personal taste) is variety. They do some fairly mellow modern rock with some nice, semi-technical guitar solos in one song, and then jump into a smooth pop rap type of sound, before playing an acoustic rock ballad. Nothing tremendous here, but the songwriting and production make for the few performance glitches here. (You may recall hearing one of his songs on the Hard Music Sampler CD that accompanied the September/October issue.)
