A metalcore album? Fuck, it's been a while! But hey, Corpus Christi has the man upstairs on their side so how bad can it be huh? But what are they doing on Victory... was there no more room on the Facedown roster?Anyway, "The Darker Shades Of White" is Corpus Christi's debut album and while the band name is kinda dumb (there's a city with the same name... what's next? a band called The Bronx that's from LA? hahaha... ohh wait), their music is fairly enjoyable. It has everything you expect on a metalcore album. If you don't know what I mean with that by now, just check out any Killswitch Engage or Atreyu album. These dudes nail it on some songs (opener "Parade Of Scars") and have a close call on others but overall this is as good as an album devoid of any surprises will get.
Score: 7 out of 10
