The Journey...So Far is the debut album of metalcore band, Society's Finest. This is the only production to feature any of the original members, other than vocalist Josh Ashworth.
Critical reception
[edit]Chris Gramlich of Exclaim! writes "Still, while The Journey So Far is an adequate starting point for this quintet, whose roster includes former Embodyment screamer Josh Ashworth, their next musical endeavour must take them farther than The Journey... if they wish to rise above second tier status. (Solid State)"[3]
Artwork
[edit]The cover art, according to Jarrod Norris of Deadself Records, the picture was him, with a paper bag on his head, guitarist Kris McCaddon took the picture at Bassist Joel Bailey's house.[4]
