Grammatrain returns with their first full album in years. They still sound like Grammatrain – no attempts have been made to adopt a new style. That’s not to say this is a re-hash of their first two albums. There is definitely a good amount of growth when comparing these songs to older material. To me, the songs seem to be a bit more plodding than in the past – fewer borderline punk songs than on Flying or Lonely House. Not that this is a bad thing – they still have some great riffs going on here. The spiritual dynamic is also interesting, as lead singer Pete Stewart recently said he is no longer a Christian, but tries to write songs that would not offend the Roraback brothers.
