Everyone and especially every band reaches a point in their life where they have to embrace change. People leave, die, new members come in, times change... silk shirts can't even sell in the D.A.V. stores anymore, Whitney Houston starts sounding more like Auntie Dionne Warwick.... It's the way of the world. This was that moment for Embodyment! Kris McCaddon, whose vocals definitely were influenced by death metal and metalcore left the group and Andrew Godwin, the original vocalist, was content playing guitar, so in comes Sean, a new singer. He brought a whole new vibe to the band and they sound so hungry on this cd. Very aggressive music with a lot of melody mixed in. Guitars tuned low as crap to give a ridiculously heavy sound, but toned down on the progressiveness that is death metal substituting with mostly slow enough music to be understandable without sacrificing the heaviness! Anyway, this cd is best listened to all the way through. I mostly skip the slow songs, if I want slow music, I listen to Herbie Hancock's new cd! The slow songs are cool though, don't get me wrong. This is probably one of the top 5 Solid State releases of all time. It basically unintentionally influenced a whole modern scene. Unfortunately, the next two cds by this band cut back on the heaviness beore dissolving and reforming as the Famine...... Shame too, because there will never be another cd like this ever again!

One of the best albums on solid state ever. 'The narrow scope...' was a transition time for Embodyment but in my opinion they never reached this level again with their other records, very good album. I've listened to 'one less addiction' about 1,5oo times and I still love it...
