While barely able to stifle laughter from the cliché that is the band name Broken Melody, including the medieval font their moniker is typed in across the top of the album (what emotion is the medieval-ness supposed to evoke in a listener I am not sure..."hard"? Iron Maiden-like?) Face The World is a typically generic rock album.

Seemingly rising from the ashes of Creed (or even worse...Alter Bridge and Nickelback) everything about this album is generic. From the cheesy power ballad-esque intro entitled "Reflections" which segues into the predictable opening guitar lick of "The Force of the Life". At least the album does seem to be produced fairly well from an unknown indie label, and the instrumentation gets an "A" for effort, with a well-placed lick or drum track here and there, but each of the nine tracks off this album are easily forgettable, and any quality that they do effectively portray, such as those listed above, are done much better by a myriad of other bands.

The Irish accent that the lead singer randomly inserts whenever he tries to coo something effective and poignant is also easily laughable. This band will be successful at being that one local bar band in their home town that all of the dock workers nod along to as they sip on their Bud Light after a long day on the job, but nothing past that.
