Nine Lashes World We View

Nine Lashes - World We View! The album kicks off with good energy, and a very strong Red influence, with the lead single, "Anthem of the Lonely," and "The Intervention." Both songs offer up solid modern rock that will have you bobbing your head and singing along in no time. The third track and second song released from the album "Get Back" is the first step back. The music takes on a party vibe like something label mate Since October would do. The falsetto "Oh oh oh oh oooh" repeated throughout the song is unnecessary filler and begins to grate on the nerves after a while. The album, however, quickly gets back on track with "Afterglow," the only repeat from their indie release. No major changes were made to the song and the recording sounds fairly close to the original.

Next up is the voice talents of Trevor McNevan on "Adrenaline." The song takes on a feel of "Phenomenon," by McNevan's own TFK, and gets the album moving again after the slower "Afterglow." Two tracks later is the Ryan Clark-featured "Our Darkest Days." Ryan's growls start two and a half minutes into the track as he screams, "I hereby vow so hear me now. Through the darkest days I will scream Your name aloud." This song features some of the best music and riffs on the album, but Ryan's short appearance gives the song that extra little bite to make it arguably the strongest track on the album.

A few solid rock tunes lead up to the album's finale and another top track, "My Friend."This song quickly went in with my MP3s for easy access, and no doubt, you will be singing along too.
