Of these, we can distinguish “Never Born” with a non-standard structure and “Scapegoat” - an amazing thing with a catchy chorus. Indeed, the rest of the songs somehow fade compared to them, and they can be divided into two types: heavy, but absolutely uninteresting, based on one guitar riff and the super-powerful vocals of Sandra Nasich, who is trying uncontrollably to scream guitars as well as ballads and half ballads, among which there are good ones. And after the first listening to the album, it became clear that in addition to these two hits there was practically nothing to listen to. Then a clip for the song “Rain” was still shot, but it was practically not shown on TV.

With 'Proud Like a God', clips were shot for two of the most popular songs: 'Open Your Eyes' and 'Lords of the Boards', thanks to which this album received a crazy promotion.

So, in conclusion, buy this album if you are a crossover fan. But my personal opinion aside, this album is too strong to give it a grade beyond Excellent. Sandra's vocals hop on my nerves and sometimes I get really annoyed by the sound of the guitar. My problem with this album is that I don't really enjoy their influences. All this let the band stand out from your average crossover band. On top of this comes rap, reggae, funk, violins, middle eastern influences, crazy basslines and weird time structures. The base of their music is basically heavy rock. Listen to a song like 'Tribute' to get what I mean. Sandra Nasic has an extremely unique voice and a distinctive vocal delivery. The musicians know their instruments very well and know just what to play to surprise the listener in a good way. Considering that this is their debut, this is really impressive. The Guano Apes pull this off like it was no thing. You know, fusing styles together that should not match that easy. 'Proude Like A God' is basically just another crossover album. Then it can happen that I don't like an album but say that it's really good. And on certain albums, it gets even worse. Those two things fight in me when it comes to music.
