Pain Is A Warning is the ninth studio album by masters of rage Today is the Day and is as triumphant an effort as any fan could have hoped for. Today is the Day have undergone several reshufflings and transformations over the years, with singer/guitarist/songwriter/visionary Steve Austin always at the helm of this black-sailed ship. Currently, Austin is backed by Curran Reynolds and Ryan Jones of Wetnurse, a line-up that serves the album well. While Today is the Day always retain their signature sound, a core identity that is immediately recognizable, the band incorporate the greatest strengths of the current line-up. And, on Pain Is A Warning, the album benefits from a thick, luxurious sound and a strong rock engine.
