Here is our review on the album track by track.

Ticking
Kicks off with a fast drum solo with a heavy bass line. After a while a big guitar cord is played then a big scream. The song is about someone dying at the hospital after being stabbed. The song has a fast guitar riff, chilling vocals and quick but hard drums.
Near the end of the song there is a 35 second guitar solo. At the end of the song the family is told that their son didn’t make it.

Blood sucker's
This song is about the government ripping off people and taking their money to use it on them self. The song has 6 heavy guitar riffs, 4 baselines, odd drum playing and very moody vocals.

The street
The shortest song on here by far which is about a gang war going on. The song is more focused on the drums and bass then the guitar and vocals. It has a prog funk bass line and all over the place drums. There is a guitar solo in the middle that is slow but a lot of emotion in it.

Ghost town
The longest song on the album. The song is a epic song which is about a guy who is killed by a few people for fun and comes back as a ghost and hunts then one by one. The guitar and drum work on the song are just amazing and shows the musical talent of the band. The bass in the song go's from pick bass then slap bass later on. The vocals on this song are just outstanding they start of low and dark then the go very high. With the last note he sings he holds it for a minute. The is 4 guitar solos on the track 2 of which are shred solo's the other two are very full on with a lot of emotion in them.

The Final fight
A instrumental which goes something like this
Drum solo (0:00 - 3:36)
Bass solo (3:37 - 4:59)
Guitar solo (5:00 - 7:23)
Full band (7:24 - 9:34)
In one word the instrumental is breath taking.

Failed life
*see the single review*

Overall
It's an outstanding metal album with only great songs. The most outstanding thing about the album is Jaces drum playing and ben guitar skills. It is a must have album of the year.
