While Unjust sounded right at home alongside fellow Bay Area bruisers Machine Head and Skinlab on their last outing, "Glow" sees the band moving forward into much slicker and progressive territory. Sure, a heavy influence of Faith No More still permeates this offering, but as a whole Faith No More were never this commercially friendly and accessible. Thus putting Unjust in an interesting position as they sound like a possible scenario of what could have been.

Where they once would have broken into a punishing metal salvo, "Glow" instead finds Unjust launching into an ascensive chorus and it is this type of almost weary eyed maturity that really sets the pace for the entire album. Highly emotional and melodic all throughout, the band bulk up their sound with a weighty rhythm section and crisp riffs that cast a wide stroke for the soaring vocals to glide upon. With such restrained energy and vocally driven performances in tow, its hard not to feel that the music now sounds more in line with 'sensitive' metal acts like Incubus, Taproot and The Deftones, rather than those they stood beside in their more pugnacious past.

Reflecting this statement are tracks like "Naming The Monster" which find the group floating through serene electronically aided atmospheres and soft hearted melodies. While this may potentially alienate some of their older fans, in truth the band haven't entirely distanced themselves from their aggressive roots. However, with overall heaviness being put aside in favor of harmony and depth; Unjust have unquestionably evolved their sound and stepped up to a new plateau. And yet, this latest plateau they have now reached is ultimately one that many other bands have already traversed in recent times. As such, it is hard to really differentiate them from the pack. Sure they are quite talented and write some strong material, but that doesn't help it from lacking that certain bit of identity that really makes one sit up and take notice. These factors and a few more suggest that a bit more voltage could be used next time out to really illuminate, rather than merely just glow.
