    Aahh, one of my favorite bands returns with its new indie album, Strength of Many. This one takes a slight turn to the hardcore side of things, as compared to Welcome To Our Island, which was slightly more metalcore in its sound. The first thing one might notice is the snare drum sound and the vocals. It's cool to hear some of the polyrhythmic percussion present. They go well with the thundering bass drumming. Steve does more shouting than growling this time around. Overall, it's massive, muscular, and impressive. They still rank high on my list.
