style

According to Allmusic's William Ruhlmann, the band plays on Evolve Rap Metal , in the style of Korn and Rage Against the Machine . The rhythms would mostly consist of simple power chords , while the singing mostly sounded angry and only occasionally hopeful. According to Allmusic's Johnny Loftus , the band has moved away from Rap Metal on Songs for the Restless and would now play more Metal in the sense of Deftones and Staind . The singing is now melodic clear singing.
