Great collection of 15 tracks, including the pumping, grinding guitars and growling voices from some of the best from across the pond, including Pillar's "Everything", "Breathe Into Me" from Red and Disciple's "Rise Up". Jars Of Clay deliver their very catchy "Work" and Skillet weigh in with the title track from their big US hit (still unreleased in the UK), 'Comatose'. Half way through the album comes the refreshing sound of a female voice in the form of Krystal Myers with "Collide". Some great new stuff at the lighter end of the rock scale is introduced with the new and critically acclaimed Leeland contributing "Sound Of Melodies" and Until June with "Sleepless". Then, to end with, a great punk meets folk shindig to get you bouncing around - Flatfoot 56's "Brotherhood" complete with bagpipes! A solid (rock) offering.
