The fast pace is carried by the vocals of Mike Moak who shifts from clean, catchy anthemic vocals which nearly tip over the edge in points to raw yells that sound as if it has been roughened by sandpaper. It\u2019s a very engaging sound which you can get your teeth around easily, especially during the slow build ups in tracks like <em>\u2018Wrong\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018Double Negative\u2019<\/em> which knock you to the floor as soon as the green light goes back on and it\u2019s all systems go.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Lyrically it&rsquo;s a very inspiring record that will get plenty of disillusioned young people off of their back sides and go from a &ldquo;feeling sorry for yourself&rdquo; attitude to a dizzying positively charged anger that simply won\u2019t burn out even during the harshest snowstorm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>After the Fall\u00a0<\/strong>have managed to craft a solid and efficient record that will certainly get you out of the little cracks in the woodwork and ready to unleash all you\u2019ve got on the world.
