"Homeland Insecurity opens with up-tempo drumming and deep growls that feel like they head absolutely no where. The song is a wash of boredom with almost no diversions from the standard metalcore triplets and palm muted chords underneath and sadly, this album doesn't stray too far form the formula after that.
The clean singing on this album is solid and some of the lead work during the choruses (""A Taste of Everest"") is solid but the band just never does anything new which seems to be a growing trend amongst Victory bands.
If you've heard Still Remains, Silverstein or It Dies Today... you've pretty much heard everything this band has to offer now, sadly.
To be honest, had they stayed mostly in the direction of their single ""Single and Loving It"" the disc would have been much more enjoyable! Otherwise, you can pass on this one!
