looked to impress with their 2001 major-label debut,
Invitation to the Dance
, and largely succeed by offering up an eclectic batch of songs that are dripping with creativity.
at first glance may seem to be just another
hard rock
album, but along with further observation it is apparent that
is striving to spice up what modern
became in the 21st century. By combining
hardcore
breakdowns with melodic singing, a dash of aggressive
hip-hop
, and the worldly aspects of
jazz
,
created a recipe that will satisfy the listener as well as sate one's soul.

's unique vocal mannerisms help push
forward, and his natural vocal ability make songs such as
"Step into the Sideshow"
and
"Falling Down"
stand out as must-hear tunes. Throughout the album there is a reoccuring sense of deja vu, as was common with most releases in 2001, but
overcome their minor similarities to truly be seen as an original band amidst the cluster of fledgling acts struggling to break through.
's ability to keep the listener guessing and the album's repetitive appeal make
a surefire hit for those looking for something more out of
than a down-tuned bass and simplistic lyrics. ~ Jason D. Taylor
