Finishing off with When the Lights Go Down a perfect way to round out a truly well made rock album.\u00a0 It\u2019s great to be able to put an album on is full of melodic rock and songs that make you feel good.\u00a0 That\u2019s what FarCry have given the world with Optimism, here\u2019s hoping it can do some big things for them.\u00a0 I\u2019m optimistic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tracks:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
