If my other review shows--sorry, I mistakingly hit submit in the middle of typing.
I don't understand all the dislike directed toward Hershey as a vocalist. I actually prefer his wetter, scream-like growl over Luhrs' dryer, yell-like growl (which is still great, don't get me wrong). I really wish Hershey hadn't left the band. Honestly, my only complaint with this EP (which isn't really a complaint at all because it was kindly expected) was Greiner. The drum parts felt a little cliche--I missed his amazing fills that I've gotten so used to. But, once again, it was expected--you can't expect someone to be as good ten years ago as they are today.
This is also probably the best mixed material of theirs that I've listened to. (I haven't listened to their newest yet). Usually, the mix feels like the bass is topped out and the drums are a bit (just a bit) too loud--it makes hearing the melodies difficult. Every part has its place here and can easliy be heard.
The bottom line is if your looking for the ABR we've come to know (and love), don't buy this EP. If you're looking for a fantastic band (that sounds like ABR influenced them or vice versa), you couldn't make a better purchase.
Now I know why thrill seeker was so good
