Grown up and great.

"The previous albums from Outbreak were in one word, pissed! I'm not a fan of angry music, but I definitly could relate to Outbreak, and that was what got me hooked on the band. Failure, however is more "grown up". In this album Outbreak tackle certain issues of acceptance, friendship, overcoming problems, and not caring about what the world thinks of you. I say "they grew up" because their previous albums were just "trash talking" on people they don't like, but not totally out of control and to the point where the music was lame. This album though is a fresh, more positive start for an amazing band.

The best tracks on the album are "Down not out", "A.S.", and "Lessons Learned", but the whole album is terrific. However, one thing I would like to know about the album is, why is it called "Failure"? Outbreak has acomplished a lot and are definitly not failures at their music. For anyone that likes intense, raw, mature hardcore punk, this album is definitly for you."
