I've been with Project since their second release Drawing Black Lines (their heaviest) and now we have Rival Factions (their lightest album). As Project fans know, each album is very different from the last, with the sound being consistent throughout each album. The change in Rival Factions is the biggest ever, however. It has a She Hates Revenge sound mixed in with electronic and lighter rock, and I find it their best since Drawing Black Lines, which is their most popular album. The sound is creative and lyrics well thought out (always a highlight), though not as dark as previous albums. Definitely recommended, just check out the sound direction the band is taking before buying.
What's great about it: Every song worth checking out; different
What's not so great: New sound is very different for Project fans
