Review:

The breakthrough album for these guys, The Art of Balance helped kick off the New Wave of American Heavy Metal. Solidly into the metalcore genre, this album rocks hard, rocks fast, and has excellent solos. There isn’t a weak track on here, and a nice surprise is the album closer, an amazing cover of Pink Floyd’s ‘Welcome to the Machine’.

Review:

The third album is equal parts pissed-off and slowed down, and the balance is healthy. Aaron Lewis guests on �Follow�. This was the beginning of the appearance of the softer tunes, which really reared its head on the next album, Seasons.

I swore I was listening to Pearl Jam the first time I heard Cumbersome, but I quickly found out these Southern guys had a sound all their own, and this is still my favorite 7m3 album by far.
