Back in my day, I would have pigeonholed this music into heavy rock bordering on heavy metal.  The music is loud, with tons of driving guitar sequences, but it also has that alternative Seattle grunge sound that is at the center of its sound.  Interesting enough there is also a bit of a more modern techno sound in songs like "Live Forever,: although that song then goes further into a driving nu metal type of sound.

Each of the songs show great power in the instrumentals and the lyrics and although the music provides a great deal of anger, the lyrics sometimes provide the opposite message.  Many of the songs are just fun to listen to, specially "Drama" which provides a satirical look at life.  The band also shows a bit of versatility in songs such as "About You" that is a a rock ballad and is also not shy about its use of synthesizers or non-traditional heavy rock instruments.

This is a well produced album that gives the listener a heart-pounding album that is worth listening to for its own merits, or just to let loose on  the sound system.  Although they might be too hard for the main-stream listener, they are definitely a band that is abound and I would strongly suggest listening to this album.
