Dealing with such deeply personal subjects as addiction and divorce, an featuring an ensemble of Lead singers this album serves as the debut solo effort of Jon Hill. From start to finish you experience the 2 year span of Jon's life as he was working on the album with producer Spencer Bradham and guitarist Spencer Gill of the band Tides of Man. The various singers each add there own pain and anguish to each of the various chapters of the story making the entire album an extraordinary musical experience.
From the second the album starts with opening track "Would You Save Me Now" (which features vocals by Aaron Marsh of the band Copeland) until it ends on "Same Old Song" (which features vocals by Tilian Pearson of Dance Gavin Dance) you don't know what you will experience next. The instrumentals as well as the vocals of each vocalist mesh with the lyrics so perfectly that from start to finish you don't want to miss a single second of this beautiful masterpiece. The Drum work of Jon Hill is so interesting because it add's new elements of beauty to the entire project.
My overall experience with the album is that I have not been as invested in an album as a whole like this is quite a while, So much so that I have managed to forget how it makes me feel to be fully emerged in the music like this. Upon listening to this album I am very much looking forward to future endeavors involving Jon Hill.
Overall Rating: 10/10
Favorite Tracks: Take Me Up, Drinking and Cleaning, Hang Em High, Same Old Song
