Almost everything on this project is ludicrously cohesive. This album wanted you to feel something, anything, and it did. The most standout part of this record is the performances and the writing for sure. The production was pretty standard for this kind of music, but that doesn't matter. This is damn good post-punk/emo. The vocal harmonies and guitar melodies on tracks like "Colorblind", or "Fever Dream" hit extremely well, while the near-perfect songwriting on songs like "Suffer Through" or even "Full Circle". I don't look at lyrics as much as I do the instrumentation of a record in question, because, for the most part, it's pretty standard for most records like this. This though, it's impossible to ignore. They're one of the greatest parts of the record. Overall, some slower parts don't take advantage of the fact that they're slow, but the rest is pretty solid the entire way through.
