You probably will like their debut album cause it is Doom Metal - or that was the way they were characterize by an online site. I was interested in listening to the first album - or at least some songs - then comparing it to DS. While the vocals are definitely different from the debut album there are certain things that they retained.

Some songs I would rank the vocals at a 5 or 6, while other tracks I think the vocals were a bit better. I have a more favorable opinion of the guitar playing than I have of the vocals on the first track. But I do like duo male/female vocals. I like the song structure for the most part and I found them to have more of an Alternative/Progressive Rock feel (with a sprinkling of Emo) than it does as a full fledged Heavy Metal endeavor.

For the moment it sits at likable. TBH I haven't had time this week to delve into this album as I would like. It is difficult to get familiar with an album with a single once through, and sometimes it takes repeated listening. However I am not sure if this album will improve on me as it has for Kiii. Long story short: Despite any short comings, I don't look down on this album cause I think the drummer is excellent.
