This record explores everything from ultra-heavy, down-tuned angst-rock in the Incubus and Staind vein ("Not What You See," "Let You In") to Toad the Wet Sprocket-esque melancholy power-pop ("Perspectives," "All The Words"). Though much more introspective in tone, the group's exuberant sound at times also recalls 1980s AOR acts like Journey and .38 Special. A catchy, well-played and polished follow-up, SEA OF FACES finds Kutless performing with equal parts passion and professionalism.
