The first time I had heard Red was at a concert with Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Puddle Of Mudd. As soon as I heard this band I had a good feeling that they would be a solid band that would produce a solid record or two. I bought "End Of Silence" and quickly realized that this group was even better than originally thought. They quickly became one of my favorite band to listen to and also delivered a good message. Enter "Innocence and Instinct". I had pre-ordered the cd from the official website and have now listened to every song on the album. All i can say is D*** it's good. From the first song to the last song they stay true to themselves and deliver an album that in my opinion is even better than the first. I give it a 10/10 hands down! The sound effects are amazing as well as the explosive guitars and great vocals. I felt this year to be a little disappointing in the music industry, but this is by far the best album i have heard in 2009 and will be one of my favorites at the end of the year. I bought the Deluxe edition with a bonus dvd and would recommend this cd to everyone. If you are a fan of good rock/hard rock than I can assure you that this would be a great buy.
