The first 5 tracks are solid, second half of the album not so much. I get a strong Underoath-Thrice vibe though, which is awesome.

This is decent for a regular rock record, but really not so good for a FYS record. Glad they're going in the direction they wanted to go. It's only a matter of time before I hear one of these songs on the radio.

Decent album for a below-average band. I can see improvements and progression compared to their first 2 albums, but not that much compared to 'The Emptiness'

One of the most original albums in the genre in a long time. Kurt Travis sounds amazing in this, along with all of the instrumentals.

Great mix between all their side projects and old blink. Wish it was originally 14 songs and would release a deluxe edition sometime in the future so there would be more songs. Not sure if it was worth all the years to wait for, but it’s a pretty good comeback album.

I listened to this record a lot when I was young. But listening to it now, I am more aware of the disappointments it offers. I can't sit down and listen through to the whole album. Jonny's voice gets too repetitive and doesn't exactly fit well in certain parts in some songs, like the review says. As for the instrumentals, they're pretty good, but that's all I have to say about that. Overall, I think this record would've been better if they found a different singer with unique vocals and better lyric-writing.

I bought this record when I was 12 years old and still jam it out to this day. So many thoughts and emotions occur when listening to this.. and I can't say many albums do that for me. The nostalgic feeling is what makes me deem it as a classic.
