A Solid Album

It took me awhile but I am won over to Decyfer Down's sound after hearing them on The Awake and Alive Tour with Skillet. Many accuse their sound of not being original enough, and perhaps that's true, but I still think it is overall enjoyable.
The album may suffer lyrically in places like with "Ride With Me" but some efforts like "Best I Can" are commendable.
Sound-wise, there is a lot to love in terms of rock. "Crash," "Desperate," "Fading," "Wasting Away," are all good highlight rock tracks. And the aforementioned "Best I Can," "Moving On," and "Forever With You" work as the album's slower tracks.
"Ride With Me," and "Over My Head" aren't quite as memorable but are still enjoyable rock tracks.
"The Life" is the only song I don't really get into. It isn't bad exactly, it just isn't really memorable when compared to the rest of the album.
All in all, Crash is a solid effort from Decyfer Down. It isn't a contender for the Greatest anything, and it likely won't be remembered as Decyfer Down's best effort assuming they continue to produce more solid music in the years to come, but for what it is, it is good.
