There's no denying that a chemistry exists within Inbox as they remonstrate with the listener and take you through an assortment of emotions. The style with which they choose to deliver though is a moot point as they effectively split the music on this record into two camps, flirting with rap orientated metal yet also delivering more ear pleasing music akin to Glassjaw, Hum and the Deftones. Thankfully the songs 'Exhausted' and 'Good Intentions' fall in the latter more melodic category, the remaining sadly do not. The differences are clear. On the one hand you have deft sounding guitars with sullen verses and emphatic choruses working alongside the singers expressionistic vocals and groove led bass. On the other hand you have somewhat predictable nu metal riffs with obnoxious sounding rapping. Whilst they are no worse than some of the bands that have platinum discs adorning their walls, this style of music is surely becoming old. The generic rap rock aside though, this is actually a very good effort displaying a sonically creative sound matched with vocals that are sincere, dynamic and refreshing in stark contrast to the style he incorporates into the more rap metal side of this disc.

All in all, with a little tightening of song structure and a focused unified direction they can concentrate on producing the kind of emo driven distortion that they do so well. On the basis of the two tracks that appealed to me I would lean towards giving this a 4.5 score and I can only hope that they take this to heart and focus on their merits. Why a band of Inbox's calibre would continue to peddle on the rap rock bandwagon is something only they can answer and a creative decision they will have to make. Ultimately though this band have the ability and certainly the will power to make it.
