If a liar really did write this album, it's relatively concrete proof that liars can't write good music.

Kind of a poppy, electro-post hardcore sound with male/female vocals. People don't like it. I like it more every time I listen to it.

I gave this many chances; more than I should have, probably. The musicianship is improved somewhat and the new female vocalist is by far the album's highlight, but the Bunny's (ugh) screamed vocals are still absolutely atrocious. A marginal improvement, sure, but still barely listenable.

Whilst the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, the bunny finally decided that it was time for a change of pace. For the people who have no clue as to where Buffalo is, The Bunny the Bear is an eclectic post-hardcore group known for attracting both optimistic crazies and butthurt detractors; to say the least, they're a very polarizing act. A Liar Wrote This is the project's sixth full-length album (Jesus, already!?), though it's the first of this band's releases not to feature Chris Hutka - whom has left this entourage thrice. The brains behind The Bunny the Bear, Matthew Tybor, soldiered on without the grizzly and also recruited Haley Roback in the process. Arguably speaking, TBTB's sixth record is the most cohesive and respectable addition to their discography, despite this statement not really meaning much considering the outfit's cred and all. Songs are easier to digest this time around seeing how these peoples' worst qualities were either reduced or done away with. Tybor's screams continue to sound half-assed and generally frail, although he himself is nowhere near as unpleasant compared to past material. The craftsmanship throughout is safe, though certainly not terrible and a tiny bit justified, as the studio instrumentalists would rather have the two vocalists steal the spotlight. With this newfound musical direction, I feel that the band might finally get somewhere in the scene. They may still have their fair share of naysayers, but fortunately The Bunny the Bear possess the passion to march onward.

Simply put, "A Liar Wrote This" is one of The Bunny The Bear's best offerings. You can tell that Matt Tybor (The Bunny) put his heart and soul into this release. The album features a new Bear, Haley Roback. Roback brings some very interesting and diverse vocals to the album, as well as the band. Her performance on all of the songs is nothing short of amazing, and she shines even more on the brand new songs. To elaborate, this album features re-recorded versions of old demos that The Bunny wrote awhile ago for his old band, as well as several brand new songs. Personally, I enjoyed the new songs more, as I had already heard the first versions of "Curtain Call", "Sleep Sequence", "Somewhat Standards", "Motions", and "It's Not Always Cold In Buffalo."
Overall, this is a solid offering from both Tybor and Roback, and I enjoy the different direction the band is taking.
Highlight songs are: "Empty Hands", "Oblivion", and "Dead Leaves" (my personal favorite of the album.)
