Review Summary: Do you enjoy Rise Records or Risecore? If you pick no, don't bother. If you're looking for a fresh seed... These are not worth bothering with.

The Scarlet O'Hara come from a genre now called labelled 'Risecore' and a brief explanation of this is down to one thing, a record label under the name Rise Records, who have a musical roster of bands that... All ultimately sound the same, using the same style and for the most part all looking the same.

But besides the slang genre name and silly fringes that these boys all have, whats the actual music like? Well... Genric is the word for this album.
Everything about it, is the same cookie cutter base for all Metalcore/Post - Hardcore bands that have sprung up in the genre and if you're hunting for something different you won't be finding it here.
If you like your scream/clean singing/breakdowns and gang chants, then I'm sure this hits the mark.
Now, the band do actually have a few songs that are above average in my opinion, but they just don't do enough to seal the deal and end up coming up short.
There is nothing to say about the musical aspect, that has not been said about a million times about bands in this genre, so I won't bother other than : They sound like every other monotone, trend Metalcore band.

One thing, that does stand out though, a slight glimmer of hope resides in the harsh vocalists vocal delivery. While mostly being a higher ended scream, he does throw in lower growls that are his centre piece reminiscent of vocalists like Edward Butcher - Ex Eternal Lord. But again he does not vary enough and once again this is overshadowed by an inability to differ from the routine and basic mold that all these bands fall foul on.

Sadly, another band that are happy with doing what everyone has already done for years.

It needs some cleanup. It looks like you wrote it in notepad. 'Genric'

Its good to go into a bit more detail about the album. Much of your review I could simply copy and paste onto another band and it would fit as well. In any case,

Hmmm, it's a little short and doesn't go into much detail about the album. Kinda comes off as a rant to me. Won't neg, though. Welcome to the site.

Few errors here and there, and a little detail wouldn't hurt. Still i think this is about four times better than my first review. Welcome to Sputnik, did you type this up on "Word' or something with a spellchecker? Just feel as though it would of caught some of the mistakes and cleaned this up a bit.

I hate the fact that theses guys are from my area. Oh well

Like many said, It needs to have more detail. Explain why it deserves the 'average' rating and go into detail about how the album sounds as a whole.

Maybe expand to some of the other instruments like you have done here for the vocals, use the descriptions to back up your ratings.

Thank you people, first review kept it safe really. I realise now, I still managed to get a few spelling mistakes, even after going through it twice! But once again, thank you everyone for the kind words!
