I love this CD! I am getting hooked right off. When you hear it, it is such a new sound to my faves! The lyrics are always awesome and inspiring and their music really touches all my moods! Love it!! ~MR
This album is super catchy and i just love it. I plan on buying the album tomorrow. I recommend it to everyone, even if you dont like the genre. The vocals are powerful and the guitars and drumming is outstanding!
I bought this CD today and it really is a terrific listen. These are enormous songs that are taken to unique heights by Sick Puppies. Mellow, then edgy, with vocal harmonies to applaud for! I without question, recommend “Polar Opposite” to already established fans of this band and new fans as well!
