Forever Cadence have released their second album titled "Something Greater." This album has a faster punk feel, while still being heavy and filled with metal sounds. While listening to this album, we get the feel that the band was listening to bands such as Counterparts a lot when making this record. We also hear The Ghost Inside in this album, so if you are into either band, you could like this album a fair bit. They have done a pretty good job on the album. When looking at the recording quality of the album, this album has a pretty good sound to it. The album could use a clearer, more crisp feel to it, which is pretty evident in the lower vocals. Not sure, but the band could have been going for a little more rough sound to get a more punk feel in, but it's still pretty good. The instrumentation on the album isn't bad either, the band can certainly play, but nothing that is going to turn your head and say wow. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album feel a bit forced. He has a bit of a rough, sort of struggling feel in his voice which throws the recording off a bit. You can however hear pretty much just what he is singing about so that is great. They have backing vocals that sound solid, and you can hear just what he is saying too. All in all, not too bad here. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs about relationships and people trying to break you down, looking for meaning, staying strong, not giving up, moving on when you need to, etc. These are all pretty typical, but important topics to talk about. We feel that it is always good to remind people to up and positive, than to be down. Good job on the lyrics here. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Sovereign" your attention as it is the best son g on the album and gives you a good idea of the rest of the album. Forever Cadence have made a more positive album here that will grab your attention with the lyrics. We feel they have made an improvement from the last album and things are looking up. Hopefully the band will tour more and give their own area some attention . Not a bad job on this album. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
