I'm not saying Jane Doe isn't more accomplished than The Opposite of December, but PtW made a far more relentless album, which is really what I'm looking for from such an immediate genre as metalcore (and metal and punk in general), while also creating something with enough depth to be engaging on other levels. It's more that a better middle ground was reached on The Opposite of December that didn't compromise on intensity.
