Coming off the heels of a stellar debut release,
Kutless releases its sophomore disc
Sea of Faces. Produced by
Aaron Sprinkle,
Sea of Faces is the type of disc to make a band's career. The discs rockers, like
"Not What You See" and
"Treason," are studio spit-shined.
Sprinkles production touches throughout give the opus the legs to stride to the next level. While the bandmembers seem completely at ease with the heavier cuts, they really shine on the mid-tempo and slow tunes. The title track utilizes piano and acoustic guitars to deliver a poignant cut with lyrics to match.
"Perspectives" again finds the band cutting back during the verse while the chorus pinnacles into a
rock nugget. When the band utilizes both electric and acoustic guitars, the songs really seem to come to life. Check out the sincerity on
"All the Words" or the introspection on
"It's Like Me." Sea of Faces is a
rock masterpiece.
Kutless has completely delivered the goods while retaining the charm possessed on its debut disc. This opus is well-written, well-presented, and musically rich throughout.
