Early Thoughts...
Red achieved an almost overnight success from their debut album, End of Silence, with considerable
media attention on television and radio. The band's sound has been often compared to such groups as Linkin Park and Skillet. Many listeners, Christian
and mainstream alike, were craving Red's music with hits such as "Breathe Into Me" and "Already Over" due in part to Linkin Park's
absence and departure from their former style. Red returns with their sophomore project, Innocent & Instinct in February, 2009.
Red continues to utilize orchestral music while Mike Barnes captivates the listener with his emotional vocals throughout each song,
as well as provides an occasional scream when needed in songs like "Out From Under." "Fight Inside" and "Death of Me" are good,
solid tracks, however, they are not the best found on this album. "Fight Inside" is a song that refers to the temptation that is
always lurking and waiting on us to give in. "Mystery of You" and "Shadows" will become instant favorites and likely become very big
hits due to their memorable choruses. Red provides a nice cover of Duran Duran's "Ordinary People," too, a song that reached #3 on
the Billboard Hot 100 in 1993. It's likely that this project will not receive any gold stars for best songwriting; still, it is a
very enjoyable listen and a release that implores one to play it loudly. Innocence & Instinct is a worthy successor to
End of Silence and will not disappoint fans of Red or hard rock.
