antiMusic has my review of Scar'd Sanity's record.
Main point:
"Scar'd Sanity is the type of band no one should take seriously. Ridiculous spelling? We've got a Shakespeare in the house, though at least they didn't go with "Skar'd" instead. Faux-metal riffing? Check. Overdramatic lyrics? The singer is 'screaming on the inside.' Dead-serious band photo? Sure, though their 'rock star' faces actually look kinda cute.
"The guitars never stand out, but they never get in the way, either. Singer Mike Prince lets out a decent shriek every now and then, but there's hardly a song here that would seem out of place on the average pop/rock station.
"Yet there's something worthwhile about ...A Way to Hide, something special that takes listeners back to a time all this would have made sense. Maybe high school - when processed-to-all-hell vocals don't make an artist sound any less authentic, and when all forms of 'authority' are worth screaming all emo-style over. "
