Darkest Days is quite simply an accomplishment in industrial rock. It is dark, haunting, beautiful, a truly timeless release. Chris displays such passion behind his lyrics and vocal work, a real treat to listen to, while the music that accompanies it is tight and very well put together. Anyone who has ever suffered from a broken heart can relate to this album on many levels. Unparalleled in it's depth, this is a release I can listen to over and over again and never tire of hearing it. The power and emotion contained within this release belongs in any collection and makes the dark times easier to cope with, and shines a dim light on otherwise painful situations. It just makes you feel like someone else understands the sometimes harsh nature of life.
