Controlled hysteria, if something like that exists, I mean I can hear in the voice of Lacey Mosley.
You might think she sings about something that attacks her spirit, something she is still fighting, on which she might have grown up. But became the little ill girl a monster? Between whispered, squeezed and cried passages melodies hide that do not miss beauty, exist harmonies, which are both towering and oppressive; live powerful songs. When humans, so full of passion and strength, sing about their own weakness as it happens in the song Perfect, and in the opposite case in Fully Alive, with an almost breaking voice sings about how much they are alive, it always puts a smile on my face and makes me nod in agreement...

The whole thing is supported by solid, powerful musicianship and work. To begin the record with a distorted bass is a sublime start in my opinion. The first piece I'm So Sick is definitely the single. Significant, straight to the point, and making quite an impression it is condemnably good. Another song to point out is the already mentioned Perfect, which owns a charming into-the-brain-hammering hookline with "perfect at weakness".

The self-titled debut was produced by Howard Benson, a producer who even made P.O.D., Hoobastank and Papa Roach tinkling nicely. What particularly makes me happy is the fact that this guy is also responsible for the Motöerhead - Bastards album, and some more not completely unknown. But nobody would have expected Sony to send this band to a nobody.
Nevertheless in 2006 FLYLEAF played on the Family Values Tour with acts like Korn, Deftones and Stone Sour. Furthermore FLYLEAF are admitting Christians and from Temple, Texas. Who would have expected that?
Fortunately I learned early enough not to discredit people because of their origin or their belief; everyone has his own method to cope with difficult moments in life.

To that extent I wish steady fun and fulfillment through their music to the 5 of FLYLEAF.
