I still have a little bit of love left for them (hence me rating their newest album a 4 when it's probably more deserving of a 3-3.5 rating in my mind). They'll never be able to top Alive or Just Breathing though.



You heard Jesse's new band, The Empire Shall Fall?

Dude, that album's freaking awesome
After the first track I immediately realised why KsE weren't that great anymore, it's Jesse.

^that's definitely part of it. Jesse's vocal melodies (screaming and clean) were just so much more... I dunno.. passionate? I think it's also that Adam D. took over primary song-writing duties after AOJB (Joel wrote most of that album) and his style is just more poppy overall.



I do think The Empire Shall Fall is awesome -- musically and vocally. But the lyrics are so cheesy sometimes that it almost ruins it (like the psuedo-christian, super-positive lyrics he was always known for, but now it's almost drifting into self-parody).



But as long as I'm not paying TOO close attention to the lyrics (and mainly only the songs at the end of the album) it's super enjoyable.

I'll agree his vocals have taken a nose dive since AOJB but I can forgive him because he throw's so much passion into them.

Never managed to catch anything from them, couldn't find it anywhere. But i've recently discovered Mediafire/rapidshare so I suppose I should begin looking there

Nice, I approve. They're sort of like Corrosion of Conformity or Down -- only with Jesse's vox obviously. I got both of em for under $8 total (including shipping).

Do they have a kind of southern vibe to them?

they definitely do -- but in a good way. Like the Down-ish, COC-ish, even ETID-ish way. Although don't expect much screaming out of Jesse.
