If you like your tea caffeinated, then I suppose so!

"Wolf, I like wank music too much to judge this to be honest. :P"
Eh, but the vocs.

"If you like your tea caffeinated"
Whoa, whoa. Don't even get in the area of putting this in the same category as hot steaming delicious black slave working coffee.

Just gave it a listen, It's not really what I expected, there is certainly talent here but it all kinda seems convoluted and doesn't piece together.
The drumming sounds like it's trying to be too technical for the rest of the music and is very distracting, It's like they got the drummer from Sikth and stuck him in The Dear Hunter.
Nothing really stood out and I went through the album without being blown away by anything

The vocals are awesome, dude. And who's going to make the coffee comparison if I don't, huh?

I know what you mean, Rurgundy. This isn't for everyone, but I guess I'm just a sucker for it.

Nah, they're totally 08/15 Post-Hardcore/Pop-Punk vocs. Nobody because delicious hot steaming coffee which is so black it picks cotton is too awesome for any comparison.

this is the only thing coming close to state faults as aoty so far, for me.

I mean, the color black was a recognized sign of inferiority for centuries... That should mean something, right?

I do have respect for a man that drinks his coffee black, though. I don't care for the flavor but perhaps I'll try it next time in your honor.

Whoa, glad you like it so much dude.

That's skin color dude, doesn't go for other colors. There was never a big deal with usual black, just look at all those gothic style clothing or classic clothing ect. Lots of black also the color of oil is black and the color of coffee is black.

A man who does not drink his coffee black (except for iced coffee) is not a man anyway. You just gotta get a good bean to cup machine and good beans and the flavor will kick your taste buds into a psychedelic nirvana. Maybe it was also that we were listening to Shpongle while drinking the second most expensive coffee in existence... still awesome. Also, Switzerland.

P.S: You should definitely do that. But do yourself the favor to get some really good coffee.

hey jacob u the man

Hate the vocals but instrumentally this is really really solid

The vox remind me of someone, can't recall who atm though.

Giving tracks a listen now.

Can see the appeal, too clean for me though. I'd kinda prefer everything to be less tight and the singer to start smoking 20 a day. Talented band though no doubt.

icarus livez

Got it, this reminds me of a less intense Jamies Elsewhere mixed with a few other groups.

Album Rating: 3.5

This album is great, but it sounds a lot like a halfway between The Dear Hunter and pmtoday. Which doesn't sound bad on paper, but like somebody mentioned, it does seem a bit all over the place at times.

that cover

There's something about his voice that's annoying that I can't put my finger on. Whiny? Nasally? It sounds like typical vocals for the genre. The music is pretty good, though.

So this is like, Kingdoms-era Broadway without the screaming and (slightly) more over-the-top vocals.


Eh. Instrumentals are really fucking good.

Haha, you reviewed this! I was just listening to their discography like last week too.
