1% is one of my fav ffaf songs

Album Rating: 3.0

Donny is one of their best songs to date. 1% definitely up there too, can't say I can say the same about Jade Tree, a good song but I'd still rate some of their earlier tunes higher.



What ruins this album i reckon is that is just flows so poorly, no cohesion between songs.

man the vocal straining at the end of 1% is just perfect

Album Rating: 4.2

FFAF albums aren't exactly known for flow, though, they were usually just a bunch of good songs thrown together at the best of times

casually dressed flows alright

Album Rating: 4.2

Yeah that's definitely the best but it was definitely the exception that proved the rule.

Album Rating: 3.0

true, this is definitely the worst of the bunch though, welcome home armageddon did pretty well, surprised people don't rate that album higher tbh

Album Rating: 4.2

that album is half Iron Maiden rip-offs and half crowd-pleasing songs with screaming that have no heart to them whatsoever. surprised people don't rate it lower

Album Rating: 3.0

I am probably biased as it was the first album I got into by them, jammed it a lot when i was in my mid teens

Album Rating: 3.0

The problem for me is how much Matt screams. IMO, his screaming is pretty obnoxious. I love his more melodic vocals, though. I went back and listened to some of their older stuff after this to refresh my memory on albums that I didn't particularly love at the time. I started with their most controversial release, Tales Don't Tell Themselves, and I actually like that album now. While the entire album is full of cleans, it sounds a lot closer to their earlier work than Chapter & Verse, IMO.



That said, 1% has grown on me.

Album Rating: 3.0

Okay, I've been listening to more and some songs have grown on me:

Agree with you, those 4 tracks are great, but yes matts strained vocals really don't do much.

Album Rating: 4.2
