“I’ve struggled through pain and misdirection, overcome my faults and imperfections. Could hear when I was deaf, could see when I was blind, I have found my peace of mind. I’ll be the reason for your extinction. Lowly ones are higher than the person you think that you are. They hand you the world, you throw it back on your face. You can’t handle the honor. What’s it like being a disgrace? And after all the lies that spilled from your throat, I should’ve known better. You have forgotten who made you. I created you. You have forgotten who created you. You are my creation. You are not the answer. You are not the person you aim for. I am the one who created your past and I can end it just as fast. Shut your mouth. We’ve always known you’ve been a fake. Welcome back to reality. Lowly ones are higher than the person you say that you are. They hand you the world, you throw it back in their face. You can’t handle the honor. What’s it like being a disgrace?”

Realistically, I should have bought this album after the first 100 scrobbles of In Reach (Out of Touch), but it's never too late to do the right thing. This has a different atmosphere (and story) than The Lost City, but it's just as good and just as melodic. porcelainheart-
A masterful EP, The Oklahoma Kid is resoundingly beautiful and presents a work that is as meaningful as it is introspective. Fortuneteller encapsulates the very essence of the post-hardcore and metalcore genres, but effectively intertwines tech metal and crushing djent riffs into a very solid effort. The Oklahoma Kid is intelligent, passionately-moving, and intensely engaging; music of my golden years. :) Kenny McGalem
