The first track on the album, “What You Want” is also the first single which was released on August 9, 2011. The song showcases Lee’s vocal range and has similar to structure to the bands’ older sound. The heavy guitar even makes the song seem like it could have easily been on Fallen. “Made of Stone” seems to tell the story of a relationship that is falling apart, with a beautiful intertwining of Lee’s soft voice and head banging guitar parts.
Lee’s voice comes out full force in “The Change,” a song with slow melodic verses, but a high powered vocal chorus. The first real piano solo of the album is apparent in “Heart Is Broken” with its ballad-like introduction which leads into a sorrowful tone of emotional pain. The drums and guitars form a unique team on “The Other Side” as do the drums and piano on “Erase This” which is about forgetting the past.
The first true power ballad of the album is found in “Lost In Paradise” with Lee’s vocals being matched with a light piano and delayed guitars. “Sick” focuses on a need to move on and stay away from believing lies. “End of the Dream” anchors the album, describing finding truth and being who you are instead of living in a dream world. The album begins to wind down with “Oceans,” switching between Lee’s increasing vocals and a heavy set of drums and guitar.
The next to last track on the album is “Never Go Back,” a nod to moving away from a familiar but troubled past with a rollercoaster effect of vocals, piano, drums and guitars. The final track on the album is “Swimming Home,” a quiet crawl of vocals laced with intricate piano melodies to anchor the emotion in a hopeful way.
The deluxe album version also features four bonus tracks including “New Way To Bleed,” “Say You Will,” “Disappear” and “Secret Door”.
