Dennis is an awful screamer imo. Yeah the whole three guitarists thing is completely unnecessary.

Ever seen them attempt to do their pseudo-comedy routine live? It's such an awkward experience.

Regardless, I still have a soft spot in my heart for these guys after all these years aw.

No joke. In between songs the two vocalists awkwardly tried to play off of each other, making jokes.

It was interesting.

Oh no, no hate intended. I'm one of the few people in this thread that enjoys this band. They're pretty alright dudes in person.

The jokes were a bit much, though.

Following a switch of drummers & the addition of a 3rd guitarist, Alesana come out swinging on debut LP 'On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax'. Dennis Lee's screaming has thankfully improved a little, with the now sextet basing their lyrics around Greek mythology! The triple guitar attack often finds a nice balance between technicality & catchiness, although in looking for chaotic energy, many tunes turn messy & begin to bleed into each other. Kudos should be given to Alesana for fusing toghether their influences, but the band is definitely still a work in progress. Recommended Tracks: Alchemy Sounded Good at the Time, This Conversation is Over & Congratulations I Hate You.

Gyro, before I had heard an album from these guys, I (sort of) saw them live & they were absolutely horrendous. I was also surprised that they are significantly better on record.
