There is absolutely NOTHING to complain about or criticize about this collection of songs. The first time I listened to the entire CD, I was extremely impressed and especially taken by the third track entitled, "Fight Like This." Since then, I've listened to this CD many times and I love every single track!
I said "every aspect is top notch" - I'm saying the drums, bass, guitars, vocals, lyrics, melodies, arrangements and even the "special effects" are all done to perfection. The fast tunes are very aggressive - the guitars are tuned down from the key of E to the key of C, which gives the tone a VERY POWERFUL sound. The slower ballads are just as powerful with an intensity of message that is truly inspiring.
If you like hard rock and you prefer tunes with intricate chord changes that are not predictable but yet spine tingling, and you prefer songs with an important and inspiring message, you'll love Decypher Down.
