What's a stand-out track on this?

Album Rating: 4.5

Our Holy Ghosts, Mutiny, The First One To The Scene Of An Accident Always Gets Blood On Their Hands. Those were the track that I got into the most at first.

Album Rating: 5.0

I have a feeling this band is going to become one of my favorites.

And yeah, this review is not very good. It really annoys me when someone spends the whole review

comparing a band to another.

Beautiful album. So many people say it's boring? There is nothing boring about this album it has dynamics and passion. It admittedly has a very long running time but that is no cause to call it boring. You could easily just listen up to one of the interludes then continue it later. It's not like the songs are dragged out they sound very natural to me and not at all forced.

So I guess if you are one of the few people who have patience in this ADD society we live in then give it a whirl and you will be rewarded.

Patience IS after all a virtue.

Apparently it's boring because it isn't Brand New. Even though they sound hardly alike.

Not to seem conceited, but this review is poorly written and I think it would be better to have either

mine or fromtheinside's featured.

Album Rating: 2.5

I hear a strong Cursive influence on some songs but the whole thing is average and simply forgettable to me.



Mutiny and Escape To The Mountain rule

Album Rating: 5.0

What did people think of the two new songs they released this year?

beautiful album

The support for the criticism you're offering here would fully justify the score you gave this, I just don't think I can agree that this is anywhere near as derivative as you make it out to be. For one thing, ACB, mwY and Brand New are 3 bands that sound about as different as you can sound and still fall under the same genre umbrella. And having listened to mwY and Brand New's whole catalog religiously and a fair amount of ACB as well, I really don't hear that the Felix Culpa is any closer to ripping off any of them than they are to sounding like each other. It is still in the same genre you're describing, but are you really saying that no one else is ever allowed to make heavy, emotional, lyric-driven music again because Brand New already did?

Probably also worth mentioning that the Felix Culpa released their first full length (which sounds much more like this than any of the rest of those bands) in 2004, before ACB's first major release and while Brand New was still a pop-punk band.

I really cant tell if this album is good or not
