In the opening moments of the record, the intro's brief 40 seconds of static chaos is soon as obsolete as the band's former identity when the splendor of "John Orr The Arsonist" dramatically bursts into play with an elegance that flows throughout the album's 39 minute duration.

The music is essentially a refined elemental fusion of rock, dance, electronica, and pop genres with passionate melody and smart harmony sung with quality vocals that encourage repeated listens in any setting and make each track like sweet candy to the ears. The techno beats are fun and the catchiness of each tune covers the monotony of the kick drum.

Although many of the lyrics are dominantly "she" focused, it's wonderful just for a band with this style to promote morally clean messages even if they're not necessarily presenting the gospel. In the future, they may find it tough to create a follow up to such a positive release but, until then, these 11 songs comprise a strikingly entertaining debut.

Murmurs Of JFH Music Review. Now, for a band who used to be metalcore by genre, ATTWN are able to pull off the sound change with little flaw, unlike one would expect when changing style so dramatically. But aside from the applaudable transition from metal to dancey emo, ATTWN doesn't seem to create too great of an album in this field.

The music is fairly good, but really, when it comes down to it, the fact that most every song has the typical thump-thump-thump dance beat just gets slightly boring. Granted, it's not a continual thing throughout the entirety of every song, but the main beat for the songs is either that or a bass-snare-bass-snare sort of repetition.

In addition, the vocals aren't too pleasing. Vocalist Matt Rhoades and the background vocalists as well may have been better off sticking to the metal sound. Admittedly, though, it's not a terrible album. There are lots of times where the vocals sound just fine, and the synth is awesome through a great portion of the songs. Aggressive Bittersweet Druggy. Energetic Happy Hypnotic.
