...In A Fading Breath is not the Southern Gospel yack that you'd expect with a band name like this. What you get is polished modern rock — way too polished much of the time. However, Armand John Petri's (early Sixpence and Goo Goo Dolls) production still maintains that necessary rock aesthetic. Sure, it gets away from him in some wash of radio accessibility, but overall turns in a project worthy of a Collective Soul or Matchbox 20 tour billing. I would prefer to see these guys try to show more abandon in either the feedback or scary noise categories. That's just not their game, though.
