I really enjoyed this album. It's real catchy metalcore with some excellent clean vocals. The drummer keeps my head moving with the rationing of the double bass, and the vocalist has a unique yell/scream which transitions into a real low growl now and again. I highly advise checking out this album. Recording quality aside, it's better than Vanna's full length.

I cannot understand the obsession of some people with Vanna. I live in Boston, which is where they originated, and have seen them in concert after being guilted into going by my friend. The show was awful, mostly due to a complete lack of originality. They sound exactly the same as every other obnoxious emo-tinged metalcore band that's trying to make money.Fans of things like Thrice,Alexisonfire, As I Lay Dying, and It Dies Today will be disappointed as they will feel they bought something they already own. "A Dead Language..." is pretty much their best known song, and will be an example. Jerky, heavy, vaguely death metal-sounding intro, transitioning into Thrice-like thin lead tones, then to the lyrics, which are that awful combination of clean metalcore singing being matched by vomiting metalcore screaming reminiscent of pretty much all the aforementioned bands. The clean vocals go away and we are left with the crying, vomiting lead singer for another while, while the instrumental hovers between Thrice and Alexisonfire again. More of the same, followed by part of the end which features poorly-done, almost Cradle of Filth-like overdubbed high and low screams, to make the closest thing to a vocal harmony that these low-rent, no-talent scene kids will ever come up with.

I think it's funny that if you take all of Vanna's albums and look at the OFFICIAL reviews; the highest rated album might be a 2.5/5 star and if you look at the fan's ratings on Sputnik, Vanna looks like an insanely good band. Why do fans of Vanna think they are amazing? I'm not a fan of any of Vanna's LP's but I have to admit that this EP is pretty sick. This EP is actually good because they sound like a great Post-Hardcore band. The clean vocals are enjoyable and then it can turn into a very heavy breakdown with a great variety of screaming but for some reason this band can't progress from this decent EP when it comes to a full-length album.

This was my introduction to Vanna, I quickly fell in love with the interesting mix of songs they had to offer. So I went off to their new albums... and was majorly disappointed. I enjoy The Search Party Never Came so much because of how it sounded, because of "Schadenfreude" and "I Am The Wind, You Are The Feather." But then again you can write all this off by knowing that I only enjoy Norma Jean's Bless The Martyr Kiss The Child.

The mix of the catchy & heavy parts is very well done. Plus this is their "first CD".
