User Album Review
Lifelines is peaking in charts, and for just cause. Pleading their case, lead single “Scars” goes right for the gold from the start. Hard-hitting, featuring uplifting lyrics and swaying guitars, it gives the album credibility right off the bat. From there, “Stuck in Your Head” harkens back to Punk Rock roots with a crashing beat and feisty attitude. Shimmering guitar pieces trade off and on with a catchy chorus that will stick with the listener. Title track “Lifelines” comes in with multiple guitars that create riveting sentiment of overcoming obstacles. Here, the vocals of Burkheiser and Vanlerberghe mirror the guitar effect with a varied style blending together for extra impact.
A tremendous follow-up to Heart Vs Mind, Lifelines is a heavy, emotional album that reaches deep into the emotions that plague us all. Laced with different tempos and instrumentation, I Prevail create songs that fit perfectly as a cohesive album, but stand strongly alone as well. More than just another band on the Metal/Rock scene, I Prevail have what it takes to withstand the test of longevity thanks to quality songwriting and sincere, heartfelt compositions.
