It takes about 3 to 4 listens to get used to this album but it is worth it. Veronica Sawyer doesn't seem to fit but it's not that big of a deal. If you really enjoyed December underground like I did, you'll be disappointed and tempted to cast this record aside, but give it a chance and play it very loud. I'm thinking this is the best release of 2009 so far. My other favourites are Dredg and Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace a distant fourth.
