The cover of this is definitely the best of late 90s WordArt. This band definitely has a grunge sound, but more on the upbeat heavy side. Kind of like an entire album of the upbeat songs by Mission of Mercy. It’s a Texas band, so you hear the accent coming out in some spoken parts. In fact, I used to live next to Grand Prairie, so I probably know where the post office is in their address. Anyways, the sound is a bit muffled, but you can still hear some interesting riffs in there. I think they could have shifted the songs slightly to a 90s groove metal sound to be even better, but that is just me.
