Seventh Day Slumber's eighth album plays like a prayer journal and is strongest when it unleashes the axes. It's passionate about forgiveness over failure and honest in tackling pain with lyrics such as "I can't believe I'm sober / I can't believe I'm clean" ("My Life"). But the collection is quickly predictable. Arrangements are simplistic.
