This is basically another emocore tripe that tries too hard to be punk and metal and it still fails miserably. There really is at best four or five metalcore bands that I like ,but this can’t even compare, boring riffs, unimpressive “solos”, hack bassist, and a drummer that can’t even get his beats right. The lyrics are just whiny and cheesy, no real sense of maturity or maybe even penmenship and it’s just more lyrical rehash from their other albums. You want some good punk go for The Clash, The Ramones, Black Flag, The Misfits, Sublime and Suicidal Tendencies. For great metal, Soilent Green, Venom,Celtic Frost, Suffocation, Voivod, Metal church, Behemoth, Daath, Amon Amarth and Mastodon. Just skip this eyelinecore junk altogether.

The [...] but I believe that we have the monolpoly on music. This album is not bad, the band is not bad but they are only OK. Not bad, but nothing too great. If you want good music, check out AFI – The Art of Drowning or Thursday – Full Collapse. Those CD’s have better screaming than anything on the market. TRUST ME. I listen to more music than anyone here. My band has toured with some of the best bands there are (including AFI). SO listen to me on this one. UK music isn’t oo big here in America. I guess that it’s not that good or something. I’m not talking about mainstream. I’m talking about real music. And to the UK…You can have your Coldplay and Radiohead back. We’re done with them.

This album is a real contender for worst cover art ever. If you’re going to put a random girl who has nothing to do with your band on your cd cover, at least pick one without a pig nose. The music is pretty generic and boring. I still have a little bit more respect for these guys than most generic emo bands, but this music really is totally overproduced, the guitars just blend together into a flowing drone that seems to fade to background noise because it gives you nothing to focus on, and the drumming is so monotonous. It’s kinda hypnotic, like the music is trying to put you to sleep. You start listening to a song, and then next thing you know it’s over, and you’re like what happened, where did the time go.

i am sick and tired of all of these bands going softer and more melodic on their new cds. people like the bands for their screaming and when bands do what FFAF did they lose a lot of support. i dont care what you gusy say but this is definitely selling out. when u change ur sound just to sell records thats selling out period. with that said dont bother with this album if u liked FFAF for their screaming because thsi album offers very very little. If anything just downlaod “End of Nothing” and save urself the money.

atleast ffaf’s first cd had some unique elements of screamo. this is pure singing. like 99.9% of hardcore bands, they’ve axed almost all the screaming for the major label follow-up, and in doing so have opened themselves up to a whole new mainstream audience. the mainstream prefers singing to screaming, that has already been proven, but if you were a screamo band, you shouldn’t change just to make money. bottom line, they’ve changed for the worse. they went from being a hardcore band to a pop-punk band. they suck
