This album marked a change of vocalist, and subsequently song writing style, for the band.
The more rugged and hardcore styled bark of Jesse Leach was replaced by Howard Jones' smooth semi-operatic clean vocals and traditional metalcore screams.
This song showcases both of Jones' singing styles beautifully and makes you appreciate how much vocal range he has.
The guitars are fairly simple and melodic in this song - giving it a sort of metal-ballad feel.
This song has become one of Killswitch's most recognizable songs as well as a fan favorite and it is clear to hear why - it is catchy and has sing-along choruses.
I'd urge any metal fan to listen to the album all the way through - it is a landmark release for the metalcore sub-genre.
