AFGM: Of Mice & Men Streaming ENTIRE "Restoring Force" Album!

Of Mice & Men have not been one to catch my attention in a major way. While others have been following them for quite some time and have a dedicated fan base, they never really had that instant attraction for moi. Now that doesn't mean I don't care for them. "The Flood" was a great release despite the fact it blended in with a lot of other "core" groups with seemingly endless breakdowns plus the back and forth between screaming and singing. The other reason I strayed from OM&M was the apparent drama between front man Austin Carlile and The Plot In You front man Landon Tewers, plus the other minor feuds between Austin and former members. This really left a sour taste in my mouth. No need to get caught up in all that drama that could eventually decide the fate of the band.

Now fast forward a few years. The dust has settled, the band(s) have gone their separate ways and OM&M went back to the studio to hash out a new album. Not putting much effort into following the progression of their album, I sort of lost touch with them (minus the few updates I would receive via my source sites). Call it a jump on the bandwagon [sort of] but hearing many positive reviews of the new album "Restoring Force" that I just had to take a second listen to it. When you got multiple sites such as Metal Hammer, Kerrang, Loudwire, and others giving it very positive reviews you have to sort of look through the album to hear what they are hearing. I wouldn't consider these guys are not the top of the genre, but definitely a step in the right direction. I mean, 1.3 million Facebook fans can't be wrong, can they?

*Insert hip-hop comparison here for sarcastic rebuttal*
