Overall, Of Your Hands is a really nice album. It sounds good and is produced well, but at times begs for just a little more "oomph." The overdriven guitars on the album, especially on "My God," would have greatly benefited from just a little more volume and presence. The same can be said for the organ in "My God." Instead of absolutely screaming like a B3 should, it remains subdued in the mix and plays as more of a background instrument instead of being featured prominently. Those choices become a little more frustrating when you hear the final track and auto-tune that is so strongly displayed throughout the entire track, as well as the keyboard that stands out more boldly than the organ previously mentioned. Of Your Hands is a good first effort from a new band, but there is still room for improvement. However, newRealm has potential to be much better, and a few different choices in the studio could've made all the difference on their debut release. I'd recommend giving this album a listen and watching out for what they guys do in the future.
