Defy - This Means Goodbye

It's no surprise that Defy took home Best Album and Best Digital Release in this year's Radio-Active-Music.com Music Awards - with years of perfecting experience in the scene, and drawing comparisons to leaders in the industry in both vocal precision and musical mastery, Defy meets every expectation with their latest release.

Following the new trend of digital-only releases, Defy's new album "This Means Goodbye", is another tasteful example of musical excellence in today's computerized world. Nothing is lacking in this release - each song is uniquely wrought and complete, using a wide variety of musical stylisms to create a memorable and cohesive sound that is both recognizably Defy, but never boring.

The amount of depth and layering to the songs is hard to match, and my response now is most reminiscent of the awe I felt when I first got my hands on Celldweller's debut a few years ago, as well as the stellar release of "The Humanoid Expansion Pack" from Dead Inside The Chrysalis. And while I listen to a lot of great music, it's still a rare occurance when I'm so completely floored by an artist; but this new album from Defy immediately takes its place among my top album picks of all time.

Suggested Tracks:
"Happiness Wasn't Meant For Me"
"This Means Goodbye"
"The Parasite"
"I Won't Fade Away"
