Verdict (& Rating): Accomplished hard rock/metal (75%)
The first time I listened to this CD I got a bit of scare with the first track. "The World Is Bleeding" features a mixtures of styles - rap/talk on the verse, vocal harmonies on the pre-chorus, whilst the chorus rocks out. The initial worry created by the verse gradually diminishes as I realise it is premature to dismiss Orange Fall as Nu-Metal rubbish. They experiment with a more contemporary sound again on the closing track, "Sit Around & Wonder".
When thinking about just who Orange Fall remind me of I came up with Savatage. This impression came from tracks like "Find My Way" & "You Didn't Believe". Their roots are in classic rock/metal, but with hints of progressive/neo-classical metal. However, on "My World's A Wierd Place To Be" I was remined more of early Def Lepp before they went all high tech.
"Inside Out" might fool you into thinking it is the album's ballad, but when it gets around to the chorus, the band are in the mood to rock out again. My personal favorite from this selection is "The End Of Game" where the chorus is particularly memorable.
