I just listened to this 3 times today, and upon initially spinning this, I was amazed. Screamo at it's best. Amazingly emotive stuff.

One of my favorite albums of all time. Suis La Lune turns beautiful instrumentation quickly into heart wrenching chaos. Screamo doesn't get much better than this.

Excellent... the band flows together so well, and my mind is a bird cage is one of the best songs ive heard in a long fucking time

The way these guys transition into some of the most beautiful, viscerally stimulating melodies is unmatched by their fellow contemporaries. Nonetheless, certain lines--including "I... don't want... you to... ignore me anymore!"--are so underdeveloped that Suis La Lune come off pretty weak on the lyrical front.

Swedish screamo outfit Suis La Lune are masters of two things: making emotive post-rock/screamo combinations, and making them with a consistently high quality. In this sense, Quiet, Pull The Strings! is no different, and is quite the satisfying debut. The band have always been at their best when making songs with an equal amount of screamo and post-rock, and this notion lends credence to the idea that "Utter Silence Is Fragile" is the quintessential song from the band. While it may be the best song on the record, it is challenged for that status by several others, including the short, yet extremely powerful "This Heart Easily Tears", the explosive title-track, and the melancholy, evocative closer "My Mind Is A Birdcage". The band falters somewhat in the lyrical department, but this is a misstep easy to forgive when you consider that Swedish is their first language. Really, if you liked anything from Suis La Lune, ever, then you'll like this.

One of those screamo albums that no matter how hard it tries to suffocate you with emotion, it still cannot annoy you with being melodramatic - but it gets its job done. Oh boy it gets the job done.
