    Rude Awakening and The Watcher are the best songs of Tytan (The Watcher is better). But the rocky song like Cold Bitch are cool and cachy. Unlike Lion.

    I suppose it's true that I do have a low tolerance for inane pop-rock, yes.

    MannyThreepwood i checked out Kal's band lion before and i wasnt impressed, its definately a step down from tytan big time, it sounds so watered down like on the level of the hair bands i much prefer this stuff, kal definately took a wrong turn, he was awsome in this band!

    I don't know where all this hype came from about this band. "Rough Justice" has some good tracks (namely "Rude Awakening" and "The Watcher"), but overall it's pretty fluffed-up and arena-rock, and not in a good way. It reminds me of a sort of cheesier version of Heavy Metal Army from Japan. I certainly wouldn't call them one of the best, nor would I consider this essential.

    Good Album. Singer Kal Swan later founded Lion, who played a similar style to Tytan (especially on Trouble In Angel City). So if you like Tytan, check out Lion.
