Rocktopia: Red - 'Until We Have Faces' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Steve Bott: I have to say I was floored with the quality and immediacy of the debut Red album, 'End Of Silence', back in 2006. An incendiary emotion permeated the material, fusing uncompromising musical aggression and dramatic subtlety to great effect. The 2009 sophomore effort 'Innocence & Instinct', though still full of excellent songs, lacked its predecessors intensity and as such received a lot fewer visits. After just one or two spins of 'Until We Have Faces' I was left wondering whether the bands principal songwriters, Jasen Rauch & Anthony Armstrong, alongside producer Rob Graves, had lost their creative edge as the album just seemed to wash over me, registering very little impact.
