Out of curiosity I was looking at the bottom rated albums of post-hardcore on RYM and after wading through all the scenecore, I found this as the first true post-hardcore album on the bottom. And I have to say, it's not bad at all. It's not totally original, and at times the vocalist comes off a bit stale, but the music never fails to be at least interesting. Flourishes of dance-punk, electronic, and a vocalist that reminds me of Maybe I'll Catch Fire era-Matt Skiba solidify this as a great listen.
I almost went and saw them last Thursday for nostalgia reasons. I listened to Danse Macabre and Wet From Birth a lot in high school.
