Review Summary: my last opinions is try this album out! You might like or dislike it..but listen too it. You would be suprised on what this talent band can bring to the table. So my overall rating for Thrill Seeker-4/5

Thrill Seeker by August Burns Red! Do i like it? Thrill Seeker came out in november of 2005 by Solid State records..the album got produced by Adam D. and it's their first full length album. Thrill Seeker is one of those albums for new the ABR fans that nods their heads...because it doesn't have Jake Luhrs on vocals. That's when you realize this album is excellent! The album is techinical and has a lot of melodic parts in the songs. It has fast pace-heavy drumming by Matt Greiner,great techinical riffs by JB and Brent Rambler,nice bass playing by Jordan Tuscan and crushing vocals by Josh Mcnaness. The album starts off catchy with a lot of great breakdowns and ends with more of a slower side with the song The Seventh Trumpet and Shot Below The Belt. I love how this record is damn melodic with really instumention that fits into the breakdowns. Thrill Seeker is also a great album for anybody who wants to get into old school metalcore. The album has a lot of nice chord progression and techinical moments but overall the chugging style makes this band awesome.It would actually be a great album for any music fan. My favorite tracks are Too Late For The Roses-because of the fast paced drums,great guitar parts and kickass breakdown. Speech Impediment-because of the awesome intro and the amazing production and lyricss Wish Full Of Dreams-great song with a lot of nice chord proggresion and it's strongly well written Barbarian- kickass intro with the drum fill and it makes me hyper.and Your Little Suburbia Is In Ruins-the most popular song off this album,what can i say the song catchy as shit with a really nice breakdown.There is no bad track on this album.. i enjoy every song off this album. This album is solid and it's defitnely one of the best in their discography. Thrill Seeker is defintely a metalcore classic it has everything a metalcore album should have. The lyrics are really wriiten with a lot of meaniful sayings. The lyrics would catch on to you. The production also fits really nice in the record it sounds clean and crisp. That makes it enjoyable.

Matt Greiner-drums
JB Brubaker-guitar
