For the past years in the New England area there have been many great hardcore bands such as Guns Up!, Shipwreck, Have Heart and Verse. Verse still remain the most melodic and energetic band to date. Its singer Sean Murphy put again his whole soul into these 12 songs, and this record remind me some concept album from the 80' glamrock : Opera hardcore, that doesn't sound bad. In fact that doesn't sound bad at all. More melodic, more possessed, more political, more everything, "aggression" elevate Verse to a higher level. A great record.
