I like Ashes a little more, but that doesn't really mean anything since they're both 5's.

"Don't really care for this one"

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this record, Jamie. What do you feel is lacking in this album vs. Ashes? How does this one miss the mark?

This just isn't my style at all. I find it pretty dull and boring and some of the songwriting just doesn't sit right with me at times for whatever reason.

I can see that. I'll agree that the songwriting isn't air tight here and the best ideas can be a little spread out, especially around the album's midpoint.

This album is so much colder than Ashes. This one more directly translates the feeling of "lost in the woods in winter."

^This. To me, this album has alway had that atmosphere. I think that's what I like about it.

Saw those guys on Tuesday (by accident more or less) and they were f*cking awesome. Have to check on their discog soon, seems worthwhile for sure.

Sweet that means you'll probably enjoy the new album since they've been playing a lot of it live. That album needs more love on here

With snox on this one, clean vocals are horrendous.
