Thanks! Glad you finally got it after all the trouble we had with it earlier.  |

| Got it today. Killer! Nice to hear a group of young guys with that punky/sleezy sound, and from America to boot! Most modern bands doing this style are from Europe, especially the Scandinavian countries. |

SOOOOOO glad to hear! Just wait for the follow up. We are already writing for it and the songs are waaaay more dynamic and hard-hitting.
And true, Europe seems to have all the good music now-a-days. |

| I like this album, but honestly, the vocals turn me off a bit. By the 3rd or 4th song, I want to turn it off because the vocals almost give me a headache. I love the music, and I love the lyrics! But the singing is just not my style....especially when he goes for the high notes. Despite having some of the choicest guitar work on the entire album, "Can't Stop Us Now" is almost unlistenable to me because he sings the whole song in the upper range.
If that improves on the next one, I'll be all over it; but if the singing remains the same, I'll have to pass. Just not my thing... |

| I think the vocals fit this just fine. You need a dirtier, grittier voice with this style and this band has it.

| Man... All respect to FOJ, but I think the vocals are killer! One of the best things about the album, IMO! I think he might be looking for a more polished sound, but I love that raspy power!  |

| Yeah, not a huge fan of raspy vocals, true. But even some of the grittier voices are better than this album has. Perhaps it will get better over time. I believe these guys are pretty young. |
