Album Rating: 5.0
This has got to be one of the best albums I have ever heard. And I'm not exaggerating. It is very polished though (Oli does not sound that good singing) but lyrically it is in my opinion a very solid cd. Though it does lack the heaviness a little that Bring Me The Horizon once had, Oli took the lyrics and melodies of songs and went off with them. Can You Feel My Heart was the obvious step in the other direction that they went off with their new cd with the keyboards. Although, it is not typically heard over the guitars and drums it is known sometimes but mostly used as a secondary part of this cd. Sleepwalking is the most melodic song off the cd by far. The band did a great job putting in some slower songs as well which in my opinion turned out to be some of the best such as (And The Snakes Start To Sing). The constant change of pace between the screaming and singing along with the tempo of the song keeps you guessing throughout the album what is going to come next. I see this cd being the album that is going to define Bring Me The Horizon, that is if it hasn't already.

I agree with you mostly djc, except I feel that the guitars are VERY secondary to the keyboards, drums and other effect. That, and Oli's singing (which is part of the appeal) at some points in the album are the only things keeping this from a 5 for me.
