One of My Favorites
Posted August 08, 2010
By Desperationrocks,
I had first heard Decyfer Down shortly after their first cd End of Grey had been released by hearing "I'll Breathe For You" off of a various artists sampler, I fell in love with the sound and had to get the album. Simply I fell in love with the heavy, pounding sound and clean vocals. They quickly became one of my favorite new bands.
Crash introduces new vocalist TJ Harris, who has some serious pipes. As gifted of a singer as former vocalist Caleb Oliver was, TJ has one extraordinary range. If you loved the first album this one doesn't offer anything too new but the formula is just perfected. They deliver the heavy riffs, pounding drums, and just a solid sound.
There are many solid songs on the album. Over time they have all grown on me and I enjoy the whole record as a whole. But their are some that stand out over the rest. The hit title track, that opens up the album is a great rock track with some great lyrics, "Fading" has a great sound and a good message about addiction, "Best I Can" slows things down but is one of the most powerful moments on the album talking about how we always think we have to be perfect for God but really he just wants us to try the best we can for him, "Ride With Me" is a fun rock song about changing the world for Christ, and "Forever With You" is another great ballad talking about being more like God and spending eternity with him. The other tracks are just as good and really enjoyable rock tracks.
So if you want to enjoy a fun rock album, with some pretty good lyrics, this is an album to look at. I've had it since it came out in the late spring of '09 and still can't put it down.As far as this genre is concerned Decyfer Down is becoming a force to be reckoned with and a band too keep your eye on in the future.
