Album Review: Of Mice and Men

“RESTORING FORCE”

Of Mice and Men

From the first bullhorn screams of opening track “Public Service Announcement,” you know it’s on.  Of Mice and Men's third album is chock full of punchy, mosh–pit igniting anthems like “Bones Exposed” and “You Make Me Sick,” but the band leaves room for some more accessible material, like closing ballad “Space Enough to Grow.”  Although some of the choruses feel somewhat forgettable, the group is in their element here, delivering a raw and aggressive, yet balanced and mature set of hardcore tracks that fans of the genre are sure to devour.

Grade: A–
