This is the third full-lenght from Peter's side project Pain, and the band continues to expand and mature.

This album is not so heavy as the others, there is no aggressive vocals, Peter's only using clean vocals here. So it is their most accessible album, and is this good?, yeah, of course it is. I think this project was founded with this purpose, to break the boundaries of Metal and take it to another level and reach new audiences.

The album has some nice keyboards and even a 16 string orchestra in a couple tracks. The first single "Shut Your Mouth" is a very good and catchy song, and there's an interesting video for this track, it was a perfect choice for the first single, since I've heard that song for the first time, the melody keeps hammering in my head. "Just Hate Me" is the second single and it's a slow and emotional song.

Other nice tracks I would like to mention is the excellent cover for "Eleanor Rigby" from the Beatles and "Pull me Under", which is another catchy song, with nice hooks and choruses, just like all the album.

Peter has not repeated himself like many would have liked, he doesn't like to do the same things twice. He's very talented and he can sing, play, produce more than just Death Metal. It's really worth buying.
