High Flight Society brings explosive energy and modern rock anthems to life on their impressive self-titled debut. This eleven song release overflows with encouragement and honest faith, speaking plain truths of hope in Christ.

Musical success requires a distinctive sound, a gimmick or killer song(s). High Flight Society’s not there just yet.

The good news is this record gets better as it goes. The lead-off track, “Time is Running Out,” is unpromising, marred by flat vocals and a noodling guitar line that gets old fast. Similar issues bust up other tracks, and the project’s production wants for a stronger low-end foundation—more intensity on those guitars, to make that hard-hitting impact. “Up Above” is a bit more memorable, a blending of nümetal and more accessible rock (think Disciple meets Sanctus Real). “Declaration” is over-familiar lyrically but more interesting still musically; “Escaping” is a big rockin’ power ballad, probably the catchiest song (but even it has a couple of dud lines). “Loss For Words” comes closest to achieving the edge they’re shooting for, a true power-stance rocker.

Promising in spots? Sure. But there’s many a scrappy band out there that could be said of. So, this is enjoyable in spots, but certainly not essential.
