    The new Craig's Brother was recorded by Darren Grahn at the Greenhouse Studios in Canada. The result is on the disc in my CD-player. Honestly, the only song of the band I knew before was Lonely Girl from their Tooth & Nail debut which was a catchy poppunk tune. Lost At Sea is a bit in that vein yet it's surprisingly pop oriented. The album starts with Glory, a rather beautiful song with the melodic hooks the pop punk fan will like. The song also features a children's choir. However, the booklet doesn't give any information about this. Nor about the orchestrations in the marvellous song Back And Forth. Even if you're not into pop punk, this album offers enough to check out. There are faster parts in songs, like in Divorce, but also some pop oriented heavy rock songs. There's variety, though not too much. I think the band made an enjoyable effort on this disc.
