Your Review:

The style of the songs in this album is quite similar to their latest release. Still very aggressive, but it's not as emotional as the last one, since this one doesn't really deal with death of the member anymore. This album tells a whole story.

I like the last one more, but it's still a very great release for me in 2005 and make my top 10.

9/10

tODT's best album
It is split in 6 stories

Out of Breath - Track 01
The Lost Boy - Tracks 02; 03; 04
So Be It - Track 05
Down - Tracks 06; 07; 08; 09
Even If - Track 10
The Knockout song - Track 11

The first part is the most agressive song of the album. It mixes clean and grim vocals very well. It's a great intro.

The second part is also great. It's quite emotive. It tells the tale of a rejected boy who wants to be accepted. Manuel Munoz acts with so much soul, so much dedication, so much emotion... I can feel sad for imagining this "lost boy".

The third part is another good song about a guy who will become a father. It starts with grim vocals but then it turns into another emotional song. Unfortunatelly I thought it could end with something more "impactant". The last line, the conclusion to the story, was not appropriate IMO.

The fourth part is great. It talks about depression and then we have more emotional songs.
Again, I like the singer's performance. It seally impresses me as I think he was/is really dealing with it because there's so much effort in trespass this feeling to the listenner and he manages to do it so well.
"Everyday Life" is probably their best song. There is so much to ponder about it. I got my mind stucked with its lyrics.

The fifth part is another great song with an interesting story. He uses metaphors and other figure speechs to (probably) talk about a loving relationship that broke up. It has a catchy chorus.

Unfortunatelly "The Knockout Song" feels out of place. Both the lyrics and the rhythm do not fit in this album.

There's also and instrumental song as an upshot. It was fair.


All in all I'd recommend this album to anyone.
I'd give it a 9.5/10
