Singing as soulful as ever, Dallas Green delivers some of the most beautiful melodies of his career, releasing a record that effectively merges its predecessors strongest points and displays the power of the full-band vision Dallas had wished for his Solo Project to grow into since its inception. And I'm loving it.

A collection of sleepy repetitive slow jams. Nothing is memorable, but nothing is mind
numbing either. Dallas smooth voice redeems the tracks from being meaningless filler.

I found Dallas's fourth release to be enjoyable but not solid enough like the previous three releases. His vocals however remain smooth, soulful and heartbreaking as ever. Recommendations: "Thirst", "The Lonely Life", "Paradise", "The Hurry and the Harm".

"The Hurry and the Harm" made the media and the fans feel angry, because Dallas Green opted to leave the Underground, making a more commercial album. Even though this is usually an erroneous choice, i believe City and Colour made it right. Even if the next album is no longer commercial, "The Hurry and the Harm" presents good songs, with good lyrics and good moments. I really like this album because of the relationship it has in my life and in my relationship with my girlfriend, but if it was not for that, i would like the songs the same way.

After three successful albums under his belt with his solo project, Dallas Green chose to quit his post-hardcore band, Alexisonfire. He said that being the band was killing him, and that he wanted to focus more on his solo work. He also stated that he won't ever "find a way home" musically, as he'll always be looking for something new. The record he made after that is a typically pleasant listen, but it also his most long-winded. He adds more instruments on this record, rather than it just being him and his guitar, but they don't do much to hold the listeners interest. It sounds more like a rehashing of previous material, just dressed up a little bit nicer. It is very nice to listen to, but it is just so stagnant and complacent that it becomes boring as a result. Still, "Harder Than Stone" and "Two Coins" are a couple of highlights, and the chances that this album is just a misstep on Green's part are high.

Considering how much I adored Little Hell it's perhaps not surprising I'm disappointed. But that's the thing, this is such an obvious step down in both song writing and lyricism it's almost painful

The energy and passion that Dallas Green used to possess is gone and the byproduct is a really stale, boring,
samey album. Not really anything hideously poor but really not even a second of woe.

There are a few good songs here. But overall, it's quite disappointing. AOF should just get back together, although they were also going downhill. Maybe Dallas and Leah will get a divorce, and Dallas will fall into a dark place, leaving him with much more to sing about than his disinterest with California.
