So after the sublimity of Dayna Stephens are we about to plumb the depths with yet another sub-substandard metalcore album? You have to give them points for gettng an album out in April, considering their band name, at least. Well it starts off almost like a pop song, then the heavy choppy guitars and the screechy vocals barrel in, and you can hear it's metalcore all right. Mind you, the chorus is sung in clean style. I guess the problem here is that sometimes these guys want to be metal (and pretty much fail at that) and at other times try to appeal to the pop fanbase. To be fair, they succeed better at the latter, but it's hard to take them seriously. Yeah, I think **** metalcore is the best way to approach this. Certainly **** these guys.

Check out more from this artist? No
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? I'm starting to think it's a waste of time
