I'm sorry guys. FWIW, it's only because I think this could have legitimately been a 4.5-5. I still have to give it a few more listens but something about this is really understated, but in a bad way. I can't articulate what quite yet besides repeating that it doesn't feel very "full" to me. Maybe it's the delay-ridden clean guitars that don't sound meaty enough (compared to whatever is standard distortion), combined with various things like the singer's kind of high-pitched singing that make this feel, like I said before, a little watery.

This album reminds me that Jimmy Eat World exists and I usually just listen to them instead



Still, that's important so this gets a 4

I'm not a big fan of the vocals from this band, otherwise they have some great music and the delay fetish they seem to have is another plus.

Well a 3.5 isn't really that negative honestly.

I don't know what it is, but they are my least favorite part of the band.

too high pitched? it's one of my gripes with them too

I mean I don't mind high pitched vocals but they really lack the power/punch which seems to be a theme with this band

Feels like there is a little whine in there. Doesn't bother me a whole lot tho.

I'm not hearing what you guys are hearing.



I mean at least it's not like Circa Survive whom I almost can't stand to listen to.

Vox def aren't bad

But they had potential to lift this thing into amazingness and they didn't really, at least to me

but moments like the vocal bridge of choke are sooooooo perfect



and I quite admired their focus on instrumentation especially considering that this album came in a time were vocals were the clear and only focus in my music taste (of course, that's probably why I didn't like it so much then).

Circa Survive vocals are so bad (to me). Usually if I don't like a vocalist I can push past it if the music is worth it, but I

couldn't do it with them.
