Title: Nothing special
Product review: How would I describe this album to someone who has never heard it? Pop-punk combined with nu-metal. And yes folks, that's pretty bad. The album itself contains a few redeeming moments, even if the style the band presents is pretty stale. The second signing to Papa Roach's imprint El Tonal (formerly New Noize; home of Alien Ant Farm), Die Trying's primary goal seems to be biting the style of a band that was never too original or creative to begin with. The bulk of the songs sound like Papa Roach b-sides, and with a song featuring Roach's frontman ('Conquer The World') the band doesn't seem to care about distancing themselves or creating a unique style. All of the songs sound the same, that is every single song. There is no variety on here. The opening track 'One Day At A Time' is the only standout. If the album's single 'Oxygen's Gone' excites you, and you don't mind hearing 11 other songs just like it, grab this CD.
