The CD starts off with a cacophonic mixture of bass guitar and gothic/medieval piano music with a voice reciting a scripture, then moving into a full-blown guitar and drum attack.

The second track starts off with a person waking up and wondering where he is and what's happening to him. An evil voice says he's in the prison of his mind. Great bass guitar work and lead guitar here. The lyrics are bold in stating how the person was once blinded but their eyes are opened now and they will no longer be deceived.

The forth track, "Brand New Day", makes me feel like I'm listening to some feel-good-happy-music from the 60's. Not that it's bad, but when going from 3 songs with strong guitars to acoustics with nothing between to slow it down, it just wasn't what I expected. Lyrically, this song is great as a worship type song. This is something that might get a lot of play in churches.

"I'm Not Alone" musically has that "bang your head" beat to it that a lot of today's songs are missing. Also another great, lyrically sound track with lines like "in good times and in bad, Jesus is my guide, I'm Not Alone."

"Echo" has underlying bass heavy guitar rhythms that make you just want to bang your head throughout the song. The theme of the song reminds me of the saying, "the next time the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future."

There are a couple more ballads on the CD, but for the most part, this CD just RAWKS!!! I'd advise you to order this CD today.
