Regarding the comparison to At the Drive In, I can kind of see it in some of the guitar flourishes.

Johnny cited early Mars Volta as the inspiration for the guitar in Cemetery Lights, so I think there is a little Omar influence that pops up here & there. Lyrics have some Cedric Bixler abstruseness too.

Okay, after relistening to it: instrumentals are above average, so I think I'm gonna bump this up a bit.

I don't even consider Gospel normal screamo. they're more like progressive rock with a screamo/hardcore bite

"I don't even consider Gospel normal screamo. they're more like progressive rock with a screamo/hardcore bite "

I mean virtually everyone who’s mentioned Gospel accepts they’re not standard screamo, or even necessarily rooted in the genre. They are awesome though.

Dear slex,



Never compare this to the moon is a dead world. Thank you.

The only real comparison I can make here is Rolo Tomassi And even then a totally different beast. This has such a unique and spacey and cathartically beautiful feel for a “screamo” album.

A lot of screamo albums could be described with the terms “beautifully cathartic”, though. One could even argue that’s the entire foundation of the genre. This album isn’t all that unique in that regard.

Hot take: Gospel are barely even screamo, and even if you were to classify them as pure screamo, there are tons of better bands in the genre anyway.



The Moon is A Dead World is a solid 4 at best.

"The only real comparison I can make here is Rolo Tomassi And even then a totally different beast. "



legit curious how you're coming to that conclusion. I love both this album and Time Will Die but I do not see similarities aside from superficial ones like "they both have screams" and "they're both excellent"

I don't mean "beautifully cathartic" like just lashing out in screaming anger with riffs and self loathing lyrics, I mean guitar tones sounding like they normally don't, songwriting I never thought I'd hear on an album like this, it's unpredictable.



As for the Rolo comparsions, it comes to me in the form of it's vastness, experimentation, and sound. They sound nothing like each other, but I think they were going for similar vibes and both succeeded.

One way in which this is similar to Rolo's latest - both have impeccable 'album flow' despite their tendency for experimenting and eclecticism. Not being familiar with State Faults' previous work, I cannot say if this is a development in their sound, or if they've always done this. In Rolo's case it was a remarkable shift in cohesiveness.

Only heard this once (finally downloading this afternoon) but the impression I got from it is kinda similar to Time Will Die even if the songwriting is vastly different
