A fantastic journey through the best band of a rather cluttered Genre. It was on this final release that Orchid improved their production, song writing and vocals just that little bit that propelled the band into the stuff of legends. It was this album that indicates the shift from what we now call "The second wave of Emo" into what is now the current, modern and altogether more rewarding end of the genre, and its interesting how it is Orchid who should both be the beginning and the end of it.

"Gatefold" is such a conscious intensity that it creates his own philosophy of how the music should be viewed. Screamo, when mixed with Emo, hardly presents itself as a failed work. Orchid is renowned for this, and will always be remembered being one of the most sincere manifestations of the genre.

Orchid, who are screamo royalty, and as such rule face, went through a lovely and pronounced evolution over their three full-lengths and numerous splits and demos in between. What was once a band operating on pure aggressiveness and raw emotion turned into a band as subtle and as carefully crafted as any band the genre has ever seen. Their final record, known to many as Gatefold and to others as the self-titled, is made up of the most nuanced music the band ever put to wax. You still have the fiendish anger of records past, but the revamped songwriting that made Dance Tonight! a screamo classic is only more pronounced here. Put simply, you're not going to hear songs like "We Love Prison" or "Tigers" on any other Orchid record. While it's certainly their least out-and-out explosive record, Orchid are at a songwriting peak here, and it would simply be a sin to miss out on that if you're a fan of the band or screamo as a whole.
