Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings
is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a
qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being

Laid back hard rock with a lively feel
Vain's much anticipated follow-up to 2011 full-length 'Enough Rope' was delayed a few times in 2016. The album finally reaches shelves due to a PledgeMusic push in late 2016. It's a good one, with plenty of slower, laid-back tunes that shape up the album. Davy Vain sounds great as usual, accessible with a feeling of wide open space in between melodic licks. The heaviest is charger 'Sacrifice' while cuts like 'Show Your Love' are a bit more sleaze rock. I'll take 'Deliver the Passion' as the album's best of. It's moody and has a slight punk feel to it.
