    This slick-sounding band has a sound that marries arena rock with the CHR (40 year old female Christian radio listeners) genres. With a vocalist who sounds uncannily like John Schlitt at times, this former Star Song outfit produces a clean and melodic sound not too unlike The Brave or Def Leppard - mostly the fore-mentioned bands' quieter moments. One of the highlights here that will probably get some Christian radio airplay, ironically, is a cover of the Extreme song "Holehearted." The band's harmonies treat the song well. (Just don't tell Nuno Bettencourt that his name is spelled Numo in the liner notes!) While rockers need to know they're not going to get their energy quota, fans of prog rock are going to hear some beautiful vocals in a couple tunes, like the title track's chorus and "Holehearted." Producers John & Dino definitely have a knack for refining polished sounds like this.
