Listening to the older Never Say Never and the new album "Hymns of Hate", I noticed a more mature sound, much like an evolution of newbie punk rock with shouty punk rock vocals evoling in to a more synchronized and accurate kind of shouty punk rock with a hint of melody to balance it out. Unlike the older stuff from Never Say Never, this new album has more of a metal touch along with a lot more beat. When I first looked at the CD, I thought it was going to be about hate, however, it actually turned out to be an expression of anger rather than hate itself. What I will say is the cd gets better as the track number increases on your cd player, which is always a plus as it could always be ther other way around! As a bonus, the cover art looks cool and there's a bonus track at the end. I personally hate bonus tracks that don't show their signs that there is one in the cd information somewhere but that's because I like to catalog everything, however, it's a cool cover song that's done pretty well so I'll tolerate it. Another note about the cover art, I never knew mohawks could be made of bones but hey, it's quite a colorful cover filled with colorful songs.
