“We had the title before anything else,” says RED bassist Randy Armstrong. “And we didn’t set out to make a concept record. But as I sat and listened back to the final record, it’s amazing how much of the content, pretty much unintentionally, deals directly with the title of the record. From start to finish, it’s about all the emotions people go through trying to find their identity.” http://redmusiconline.com/home
After listening to this disc I understand where they're coming from. Most of the songs have a lot of emotion intertwined in them. "Watch You Crawl" starts out with a nice heavy, guitar crunch and heavy drums and then leads into a half-time melodic rhythm and continues going back and forth until the end. You can definitely hear the emotion in singers Michael Barnes' vocals.
"The Outside" shows off the bands heavier side and showcases Joe's ability to dig deep into his back packet and pull out the big sticks.
The track "Who We Are" has this awesome 4 on the floor beat that you don't hear too often. The songs moves effortlessly with the straight forward tempo. With a cool breakdown in the middle, it cut's the song up nicely going into the bridge where Joe gives the toms a healthy beating.
"Best Is Yet To Come" gives a little glimpse of they're softer, more melodic sound.
The drums are tastefully done on every track on the disc, and doesn't disappointment.
I believe the band is moving in the right direction and definitely have created their own sound.
Don't miss them on tour this winter on the "Winter Jam 2013" Tour.
