If you have listened to their first album Stand Up and Scream then you should know what to expect. Danny Worsnop is an absolute machine when it comes to screaming, his lows are nastier than a nun with herpes, and his highs make you want to punch an infant in the face. Danny has improved his clean singing immensely since Stand Up and Scream, these improvements give the album a better feel overall.
The music is as creative as it can be in this genre, the band do well to push the limit of their abilities. The band all play their part perfectly, Ben Bruce the lead guitarist offers some wonderful riffs and breakdowns, while James Cassells, the drummer, holds everything together with his catchy rhythms, double bass and drum fills.
Reckless and Relentless as all albums has its flaws, but those go unnoticed due to how good the album is overall, most of the elements have been improved on from the last album, breakdowns, catchy choruses and synth breaks. Worsnop said in an interview that the album was influenced by "1980's hard rock", as a fan I only found one instance of 80's influence in the album and that was a guitar solo with a bit of wah-wah action.
I have had the album on constant rotation since I bought it, it will take a long time for me to wear out this album. If your a fan of We Came as Romans, The Devil Wears Prada, Bring Me the Horizon or Woe, is Me then you should definitely check this out.
