10 Years named its sophomore effort "Division" because of the internal strife it endured while trying to piece it together, but it's so cohesive, you wouldn't guess the band members were ever out of sync with each other. First single "Beautiful" gave 10 Years a good head start at radio, yet the somber track doesn't indicate how stimulating the rest of the material is on "Division." It steps off with catchy, flailing rocker "Actions and Motives" and follows up with similarly gratifying tracks like "Eleven"—our contender for the next single—and "Alabama." Sometimes it feels the band stands deep in the shadow of Tool on tracks like "Chemical Christ" and "All Your Lies," from the bass beats to the tightly measured guitar chords. Throughout 10 Years weaves excellent, accessible rock with lyrics that probe at big-picture issues with an insistent finger. —Christa L. Titus
