"Dying Breed" starts as a Slipknot track, and then has that melodic voice "All I wanted was your honesty/ Something more than this, something more than me/Death can take me if I can't be free/I'm not like you, I'm a dying breed." Why is it so "Hard To See" someone else's side when they won't see yours? This track is very melodic and catchy with that swagging and grooving rythym section, and maybe some screaming , and a killer solo,because the person is too stubborn to listen to someone's gentle vocals .They are "Bulletproof" in this awesomely catchy track about playing music for the love and say what you want but "You can take the money/You can take the ride/You can take it all but never get inside/You can't take my HONOR/You can't take my SOUL/You can't take the fact YOU'LL NEVER HAVE CONTROL!" in this drum heavy and speeding track. In this track "No One Gets Left Behind" as it is about the war in Iraq and how they are p****footing with getting them out of there "Politicians bathing in their greed/No idea on how to be all they can be...../Play your war games with other people's lives/It should be you on the frontline." He's pretty ticked isn't he and those group screams say "HOO-RAH!" as the instrumentals and those venmous vocals declare unity for the cause of making a powerful statement."Crossing Over" sounds with a nice laidback riff reminiscent of Love and War, but the track is much more melodic as well as the voice more pleasing to the ear, sentiment was strong in that song, and this one just as strong, if not more, as it is about a friend who had a bad relationship with her father, and he had died. Now she is confused with her emotions,but he assures her he will be there soon and to move on with her life. A song addressed to one of those a------ that assume they know him by what he does and who he hangs out with, all screams, and a prominent solo; let's "Burn It Down"."Far From Home" is definitely one of my favorite songs in this disc, starting with an acoustic strum and Moody's beautiful vocals which seems like a toxic relationship of how this person is only there to be negative, then it goes into this bombastic chorus and awesome solo. He must be "Falling in Hate" with the person he's talking about which is a groovy screamer about a person who he helped out,who he would do anything for, and they threw him aside like nothing. I can't stop Going Under into "My Own H*ll," which at the first note sounds like it definately and has some screams, and machinegun drumming, but it has like a hip-hop breakdown as he sings "Fit me for a straight jacket/Put me in a padded cell/I'm a danger to you all/And I'm a danger to myself." If only I could just "Walk Away" which has the higher notes being called on vocals and a slow grooving riff, and it's about a relationship the meesenger is trying to get out of. "Canto 34" starts off really cool, and is a really great instrumental. Oh No, we've got "Bad Company," which starts with a poppy riff and wonderul vocal "I was Born/with a hot gun in my hands," and then this double slam on drums, then going into a groove (short), he proclaims he is bad company until he dies, and the solo is bad company too. What causes more deaths on both sides in a struggle than an attempt at peaceful reform? The final track is very angry with a lot of swearing and screaming, as well as a quick pace that slows down as venom is spat and a screaming solo. If I had to describe war in 8 ways using these songs I would use: Dying Breed, Hard To See, Bulletproof, No One Gets Left Behind, Burn It Down, Far From Home, Canto 34, and Bad Company.
