It has its really good songs, but generally, its repetitious, i got bored listening to it. To me, you can't just go switch a singer and completely cut out screaming from being a nearly all screaming band. The new singer has a good voice, but i like the old singers voice more. This is a whole new band now, and this cd doens't live up to Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest.
That cd was a unique screamo cd, this is a bunch of the same guitar stylle over and over.
Its long and drawn out.

I still enjoy it, but i am definetly disapointed in it as well.
I'll probably give it a 7, i'll have to listen to it once again though.

Actually, the lead singer now is the guy who did back up vocals on the last cd. He's TJ's brother...and they only lost their bassist, aside from the singer. So it's really the same band, but with a totally different sound. Alas.

So, T.J was the singer?

Ok, I thought the singer now sounded similar, but that doesn't change the fact that this album doens't live up to the last.

That was a given, I'm afraid.

I really, really, liked TJ's voice. It was sort of like Blindside without the Swedish accent...or whatever that is...
