Album Rating: 3.5

Although I feel like this album doesn't pack quite a punch as "Chasing Ghosts" did (maybe it goes back to the whole consistency issue), it's quite good nonetheless. Good review, man. I disagree about "Forest Fire", though. I thought the song is one of the highlights.

Album Rating: 3.5

Easily my favorite album from these guys since YoungBloods

Yeah the cleans can get a little irritating (and predictable) but I think the albums better off with them than without. Thankyou for the feedback too everyone.

Album Rating: 2.5

disappointing album

Fantastic review man. Pos'd.

Album Rating: 1.0

I really don't hate much music these days, just because I don't like something doesn't mean it's objectively bad. but fuck this guys are genuinely one of the worst bands to ever gain popularity.

Album Rating: 2.5

Pittsburgh is the only decent song here

@SPRFanof5H - thanks man, glad you liked it
@Captain North - this isn't the best metalcore album, but it's still a great album dude, c'mon. Not a 1.
@2CHAINAL - yeah Pittsburgh is pretty good, but it's not the best on here imo.

metaphor has been used to death and beyond

bad

God people are hating on this way too much.

Good review. Like this more than Chasing Ghosts but less than Youngbloods.

I think "The Weigh Down" is probably the most listenable track on here. It's all kinda a bit stale though. The djenty riffs and choruses can be good at times, but it's all pretty standard fare these days.

Thanks 24gadjet. I think it's a really solid album. Most of the tracks are great, they just don't do much for one another in the context of the album.

The Weigh Down's chorus is probably the best part of this.

This is a fantastic review. Loved the bit about the vocalists switching like the tide.



Just a quick note, TAA has been referencing the ocean quite often since Severed Ties, but it isn't the physical ocean this time around.



It's the ocean of Joel's depression, anxiety, and near-death experiences that he's constantly trying not drown in. "It’s like there’s water in my lungs".

Thanks Betray! Yeah, I knew it was centred around Joel's struggles. Metaphorical or not though the Ocean is still part of the concept. Thanks for shedding some more light on it though, personally it always felt to me that it was balanced between the physical concept and the emotional one, especially when the band members were talking about how the concept tied in with Joel and this was apparently their most 'conceptual' album. It probably leans more heavily towards Joel though, message wise anyway.

Good album. Only problem I find is that the songs sound so much alike. Youngbloods was their masterpiece.
