The UK-based band builds off of their sophomore record with ?The Noble Art of Self Destruction? being an emotional and soaring alternative emo record. There are still patches of post-hardcore thrown in throughout the record, but they seem to have found footing in this more emotional 2000s sound that is going around right now with alternative rock and metal. Although the album has some great highlights, the third album seems like they are already running out of steam. This style died for a reason back in the mid-2000s and they are kind of showing that off here. With cringy emo lyrics that feel outdated and performances that can stray too bland. Still, this is a solid release and I hope the band can continue to evolve this sound. But clean it up and maybe bring in some other influences.
