When I first listened to 'Impossibility of Reason', I hated it. Months later I decided to give it a second chance, and was hooked. It's still a favorite album of mine. When I heard that Ressurection was coming out, I looked forward to it eagerly.

The title track, Resurrection, is a great song, what I was hoping to hear. Stron instruments, aggressive and powerful vocals, even a catchy chorus line. The rest of the album is regrettably unremarkable, nothing jumps out with as much power and ferocity as the title track, or the vibe of the material from 'Impossibility of Reason'. It seems like a recycling of typical 'I hate the world' lyrics found in most metalcore bands coupled with unimaginative guitar work.
