I am going to be rather biased in this review, mainly because I consider this to be the album that changed my life.

So, I will be quite blunt to begin this: This is EMO. It is so emo that it will make you wear sweaters, tight shirts, and make you cry. Every song is about girls, and every song is about how they hate him or how he can't be with them. The lyrics aren't dumb though, they show a poetic depth that lacks in most bands that they are put in the same genre with. There are some phenominal songs on here that, even though they are emo, makes one step back and say "Wow, that was powerful". The last song, Constellation, makes me feel that way. It's simply beautiful.

So, if you like that whiny emo stuff, this might possibly become your favorite album. If you hate it, this might still have some good stuff for you as well.
