Any of your ratings on this account true? I went through one day and said to myself "these are way different from pot's main".

As great as the timing of As the Roots Undo is, and as much as it makes the album that much more musically diverse, the true strength of the album falls upon Drew and Kathy’s vocal performances. The music could survive without them and still be fantastic, but what really draws you in is the passion and creativity in the singing department. While I may have mentioned a Blood Brothers comparison earlier, its pretty much skin deep as Drew and Kathy rely more on harmonization and quick trade-offs. As overstated as it may be, their singing on the album is phenomenal if you look past the fact that they don’t have the prettiest voices in the world. Its filled with passion, but instead of becoming shrieky or falling into unintelligible screaming ala many of their contemporaries, Drew and Kathy remain totally recognizable throughout all of the shouting, screaming, voice cracks (!), and even when Drew’s voice becomes shaky when he has to sing clean for extended periods of time it holds a certain feeling lacking in a lot of singers in modern emo. Combine that with the fact they have excellent vocal melodies and patterns, and its undeniably the strength of the record.



yeah the vocals hold the whole thing together, and give it a sharp edge

Their vocals put the fucking emotion in there.



Like certain points just would not work without the same vocals, the best example is in Crowquill when Drew gets really angsty and is all like "GRAVITY DIDNT GRANT ME DA PRIVLEDGE OF FALLIN MY BOW NEVA BREAKZ I DONT STUMBLE INTO ANYTHING. SO I CRY AND I CARVE MY INITIALZ IN DA BARK WIDDAT FEATHA I FOUN BUT IT ALL SO CONTRIVE"

"seriously though what the fuck does nervous light even mean
"
tbh I stopped paying attention to almost everything related to the lyrics because they're so
unbelievably up their asses i can't even laugh them

I just really enjoy the music and the occasional one liners
