You can't argue the fact that beginnings mean everything, and Alesana are one of those groups that just kind of sat on the wire from the start. Even though Try This With Your Eyes Closed is nowhere near perfection, this is a decent start to their career. Most or all of the songs here have been re-done in future releases with barely a change, but the rough production here and sloppy vocal set up brings it down a little bit. Whose to blame for a bad beginning? Nobody really. This is just one that's a little more forgettable than some.
