Overview:
This album has a lot to prove since the loss of Jeff Howard and the re-gain of original lead singer Jesse Leach. Flawless musicianship got them there but unqiueness couldnt keep them there. 
The Hell In Me - Intense hardcore introduction that slightly steps sidewards from original KSE but will brightly excite metal fans. Ear-grabbing chorus that gives true KSE fans a chance to put all their hope and expectations in.
Beyond The Flames - Just your classic metal being re-tweaked with melodic guitar and harmonising vocals, nothing alarmingly out of the ordinary here. However, it briefly reconfirms that they are in fact coming back stronger than ever despite the loss of their most well-known lead singer, Jeff Howard.
New Awakening - This brings you back to 'The End Of Heartache'. The most exciting and heart-jolting song off the whole album! Absolutely brilliant. Unfathomable brilliance.
In Due Time - Squeaky notes. Profoundly crystal clean vocals. Unified cooperation of instrumental genius. Not bad, not bad at all.
A Tribute To The Fallen - Don't let the 20 seconds of guitar work fool you into making this song a top hit. Although lyrically the strongest, the drums are being severally underappreicated with less than average guitar work.
The Turning Point - One of the more darkly composed musically with a KSE twist. An easy contender for top track off the album.
All That We Have - Chorus is surprisingly poorly written and collaborated. Unoriginal riffs shameably brings down the whole album flow. Give this song a miss, you wont miss out on much.
You Don't Bleed For Me - The musicianship will get you through this song because vocally it is not up to expectation or the typical standard for that matter. A greater depth of maturity could have been presented but was unfortunately not met.
The Call - Chorus seems like it is abruptly cut short with oddly placed backing vocals. Each to their own on this one.
No End In Sight - Superlative alteration between screaming and clean vocals with the 3/4 break down giving the song a much needed boost.
Always - Magnificantly and collectively written with the lyrics and the vocals being the focal point. Clearly distingushing this song from the rest, it makes its obvious impression on the rest of the album.
Time Will Not Remain - Earth shaking? Ground breaking? None of the above. KSE have got to stop adding a guitar solo and thinking that will up the song quality. Honestly a horrible song to end the album to.
