I loved TAA when they started out, however 6 years on and I have to say each album has gotten slightly worse. It's all too repetitive

WOW, what a dip in quality. TAA was getting gradually worse, but this is unexpectedly bad. Godawful lyrics, very basic instrumentation, and the same old tired themes about death. At least the guitars sound simple enough to play without a backing track...

I love the new approach they've taken in contrast to previous albums, especially (and surprisingly) the pop-punk influeces in Note To Self and Nightmare, although admittedly (even for pop-punk) Ahren's vocals are excessively autotuned

I can't decide if I enjoy "This Could Be Heartbreak" more or less than The Amity Affliction's previous album "Let the Ocean Take Me". This record seems to evoke the same gist that LtOTM had; even down to an outro of a track featuring a voicemail. Songs like "Blood in My Mouth" showcase that the band is trying new things such as a Phrygian synth-scale being used in the verses (note however that it also DOES come across as sort-of lazy, as it would've been much more impressive if the lick was played on a guitar). As enjoyable as the title track is from the record, there's no doubt the rhythmic portion is a clear carbon-copy of a band named Cartel's main riff on their single "Honestly".

Loved their last two albums.. this one was pretty forgettable. I enjoyed it and still enjoy it when it comes on my playlists, but there's nothing memorable about it and it's their weakest effort to date. Felt like they had much more interesting ideas on Let the Ocean Take Me.

God forbid they try doing something new. And God forbid Sputnik removes the 50 character limit.

Tremendous album from a tremendous band. Better than their last effort. This record is one of the best albums of the past 25 years.

It's a real shame that the band who brought us severed ties and youngbloods have become somewhat stale and rmonotonous, the energy and diversity that was evident in ST and YB is missing here. Ahrens clean vocals are clearly autotuned to the point that they are cringe worthy. That all being said, its not a bad album by any means, most songs are catchy and its still something ill probably have on replay for a little while. A good album, just not an excellent one.
