Dont You Fake It

This is a band that does not stick to just one particular sound. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus play outside the box and it's really hard to label them because of it. It's a good thing though, because it shows that they aren't afraid of have different sounds on a single record. Well, lets get on to a track-by-track analysis:

1. In Fate's Hands-The album starts off with this fast pace number. It's strong part is the vocals. There is vocal screaming at the beginning of the chorus, some interesting back-up vocals and a good interlude. 8.5/10

2. Waiting-This is a fast pace punk-like song, with a great melody and good vocals. The lyrics are also pretty intersting. 8.5/10

3. False Pretense-The drumming in this great, and the song opens up with an explosion of drums, symbols and slamming guitars. Speaking of the guitars, the rifts in there are catchy and good. The vocals are also really good. 9/10

4. Face Down-This is the song that has already been on the radia, and the T.V. This is a fast pace song, but sounds melodic. The best part of the song is the lyrics, which are pretty powerful. This is because it deals with women being abused. 9/10

5. Misery-This is one of there more heavy songs. The guitar rifts are great in this song and the vocals are also great. The lyrics are deep and powerful. It may sound depressing but, the lyrics are good. 9/10

6. Cat and Mouse-Cat and Mouse begins and ends weak, but in between, it sound beautiful. The vocals however are some of the best on the album. The piano on the song is played by guitarist Duke Kitchen. I give this song 7.5/10. This is partly because I have heared and downloaded the demo version of the song, which I feel is much better and is one of my favorite songs. 10/10 I WON'T SEND YOU THE DEMO VERSION OF THE SONG. IF YOU WANT IT FIND IT FOR YOURSELF!!

7. Damn Regrets-This is also one of my favorite songs. It's up beat and really sounds good. (It must be a good song to play live) 10/10

8. Atrophy-This song is an in your face song and has great high ranged vocals. It's fast paced and the chorus sounds really great. The interlude, in my opinion is the best part of the song. This is becase you hear a couple lines from the piano (played again by Duke Kitchens) and mixed in with good soft vocals. This is also one of my favorite songs 10/10

9. Seventeen-The guitars sound really good. The song is somewhat softer then many of the songs on this ablum. Again, the drumming is pretty good. The lyrics are also really good, and it seems to me that is encouraging young women. Regardless of what the lyrics are, the song is really good. 9.5/10

10. Justify-This is the other pretty heavy song. The lyrics are dark and the melody is also pretty dark. The vocal screams also seem menacing and the singer again goes into his high range for most of the song, and he hits his highest at the end of the song, with a nice rift ending it off. 8.5/10

11. Your Guardian Angel-I have heard the demo version of this song as well, but the version you hear on this album is way better then the old version. The vocals sounds better. This is the first time you hear the vocalist really going into a lower, softer range for the majority of the song. Two thirds into the song, there is a suprising twist, which is that the rest of the band joins in and it turns into a rock ballad. It is without a doubt the most beautiful song on the album. It is another one of my favorites. 10/10.

12. The Grim Goodbye(Untitled Track)-This song starts off very good. With some nice vocals and guitars. There is also vocal screams from someone else in the band. This song is actually quite interesting. 8.5/10

This is one band that is breaking through and making a name for themselves. I compare them to my favourite band, The Used. Both of them are pretty similar. Both bands are really talented, both of front men who do pretty decent singing and reasonable vocal screaming, both have a piano player in the band, both choice different styles of music when they play, they both have some powerful messages and they both have played outside the box. If you like the used, you'll definately enjoy listening to The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
