While still not reaching the heights that they could, The Word Alive is most definitely alive...and well! Singles are kind of garbage but there are plenty of tracks that blaze a new trail for the band's soundrHighlights: The Fortune Teller, The Runaway, To Struggle and Claw My Way

The singles were just not good - terrible choices. This album is miles better than Life Cycles. The guitar is so so much better, and Telle goes all out a bunch of times in a good way. Some not so great songs for sure, starting with the singles Broken Circuit and Never Forget, along with Lighthouse and Glass Castle which are by far the worst tracks. That gets more than made up for though with some really high quality tracks. Great synth work, great guitar, great vocals. rTop Tracks: The Fortune Teller, 94th St, Your Mirage, Terminal, The Runaway, Collapsing

A very amusing record to say the least. This album is the start of this reputable band going
stale, but the album still holds up as it is full of life and vigor. The band also managed to
withstand the disaster of Cameron Mizell's take on most of the genre's junior albums that he
produced with the shotty and harsh production, a weird direction that he was attempting to mold
the scene with at the time. Somehow, the album turned out great with tight production but with a
hint of the rawness that Mizell was shooting for. Some tracks like Broken Circuit for an
example is some of the most experimental attempts yet. Telle's vocals are flat, Lighthouse
and The Runaway are train wrecks. But despite that, this is perhaps one of the last known
memories of TWA being a cohesive and joyful band.

This album is a water down version of Life Cycles, if you think this album is good then you robviously didn't give Life Cycles a chance.

this band is such a guilty pleasure. life cycles was horrible, but this is pretty cool. however, it doesn't even touch deceiver or empire.

Strange how a John Feldmann-produced album lacks catchiness (minus perhaps in tracks such as "The
Fortune Teller", "Your Mirage", and "The Runaway"), but this is without a doubt a major step up from Life
Cycles. The album feels very much like a melding of the song-structure seen on Deceiver mixed with the
sound/programming of Life Cycles. The beginning of the album certainly can throw a listener off, but it's
roughly around the fifth track where things really begin to pick up. In the end - it's a solid installment from
The Word Alive, but it does still leaves something to be desired. Recommended tracks: "The Fortune Teller",
"Glass Castle", "94th Street", "The Runaway", "Collapsing".

Not bad, they still haven't lived up to their potential but this is way better than Life
Cycles and there's some pretty cool tracks here. There's also some pretty shitty ones.

Singles really weren't that good, and Lighthouse kinda sucks, but WOW the guitar parts are miles better on this album. To Struggle and Claw My Way is basically one long crazy guitar solo.
