With story telling, thought provoking, and deeply personal lyrics, the listener will surely connect to the music. There is a warm classic-like sound to this CD that gives the songs character, A modern sound mixed with an old school feel, skilled musicianship, and credible songwriting abilities, My Great Escape will be an album of which people will take notice.F.H.O.D. are receiving great reviews as a band, with a huge sound and huge potential.
