Wow! Strung out has changed, for the better. I liked their stuff before, but they have really morphed into quite a talented, good band. These record has solos... really good ones. Their songwriting skills have stepped up about 5 notches, making this damn worth the money to buy it.
It's hard to place any sort of genre tag on this album, so I'll just say that this is going to be in my cd player for quite a while. It still has punk influence, but now there are so many new elements involved. I hear distinct boysetsfire influcence in this one as well. The drumming is about as tight as it gets, as well as the rest of the music.
But the most suprising thing about it is the guitarwork. For a punk/postppunk band, these guys really shred it. I even hear a sklight melodic metal influence at times. The vocals are mostly melodic style clean vocals, but at times he goes a little nuts and almost screams. I say almost because it's not like he's doing the sing/scream shit that so many bands are doing lately, it's different.
I don't think I can say enough good things about this, all i can say is you need to check it out. It's got something for everyone.
