Flaw
Through the Eyes

Through the Eyes is the major label debut album of alternative metal group Flaw. It was released in 2001 on Universal Records. The album features a combination of clean vocals and screaming as well as highly distorted and melodic guitar work. Songs such as "Get Up Again" and "Reliance" focus primarily on aggressive melodies while "My Letter" and "Best I Am" could perhaps be considered power ballads. Themes of angst and rage are found throughout the album; however, many of the songs on Through the Eyes also express hope and pride in one's self.

My friend gave me this album in 03 and I just loved it.
For s_k:
I didn't forget about you. I'm still going to introduce you to hip hop. I'm going to slowly ween you into the genre by letting you hear two groups that use instruments as well as rap.
The Roots
Phrenology

I really love this band mainly because they are from my area Upstate New York well about 4 hours or so but still. I know some of the places they hang out at. I will always love their first album. The second one was okay and then with their third they wanted a more hip hop feel to it but I hear for their fourth release they are going to return back to basics and make a part 2 for papercut chronicles.
