It's different, still sounds like the Hidden Hand, but they've found their niche and then ran over it with a train. The songwriting between this 3-peice has progressed into a beast, the riffs are unique and monsterous, the bass lines are anything but boring, the guitar work...well, it's freakin' Wino, what else can I say? Lyrically this album differs from the pervious two in that it steers away from current politics and into the story of a character struggling a few hundred years ago in early modern America. Best Hidden Hand album yet, hands down. Album Rating: Reviewed by: Wolfie ©2007 AbsolutMetal
