One amazing album.

There Came A Lion didn't leave my CD player for months after I purchased it, in other words, It was an amazing album. I wasn't sure that Vessels could live up to the amazingness (is that a word?) of There Came A Lion, but Ivoryline definitely avoided the "sophomore slump". When I first listened to Vessels, I liked it, but i didn't love it. I expected something completely different, and it almost felt like it was lacking something their previous release had. After a few listens, I started to change my mind. In fact I realized it had so much more. Addicting, catchy choruses and vocals, amazing guitar riffs, even throwing in a bit of synth here and there. But the biggest thing Ivoryline improved on was their lyrics (not saying There Came A Lion's lyrics were bad). There is a sense of maturity in them that wasn't there before. And this time around, their lyrics are a lot more faith based and religious. Definitely a huge leap forward for Ivoryline and a candidate for the album of the year!
