Said it before and I'll say it again. Band is decent, album is decent (read: fun), but metalcore
this generic and derivative could never be a 4.5-5.0 fellas. Its enjoyable stuff though.

There is no way in hell that this record is a five... How could a metalcore record that sounds
like most other genericore bands possibly be that fantastic? Rhetorical question, it can't. I'd
imagine it objectively being a 3/3.5 at the very best, and that is quite generous.

How many lyric clich?s and lazy melodic vocals can you throw in one album? Songwriting ain't all bad tho

Looks like OM&M are entering into thrashcore
genre (if there's such a thing). Contrary to
the popular opinion, I personally liked Defy.
It was a good rock album. From there, I think
the band has made some progress in the right
direction. E&S has got some soild tracks.
Linger, meltdown, the mountain and gravedancer
are my personal favorites apart from the
singles.Some songs sound a bit weird. Verse
and chorus don't seem to go well together in
those songs. I also feel like after a point
Aaron Pauley's vocals become predictable and
boring. I think they are in a dire need of a
bassist who can sing. This will be better for
their live shows as well as their sound. rThis
album is somewhere in between average and
good. But considering their previous work and
their contribution to my taste of music, I
give them 3.

much better than the shite they've been producing lately.rdoesn't rlly sound like of mice and men,
minus the whiny cleans every other song.rits some weird assemblage of thrashy metalcore, but its
not terrible. how to survive is almost a banger, but kinda loses momentum second half and lyrical
delivery is nearly problematic on chorus. good enough tho. hence i'm writing this. for of mice and
men, this is high praise.

Of Mice & Men has an interesting history of inconsistency. Their first album showed great potential and the next album The Flood perfected them. After The Flood there was an immediate but definite either dropoff in quality, or attempt to gain new mainstream audience, or maybe a genuine interest in playing a different genre of metal. It got worse and worse until Defy. I saw signs of a new potential with Defy and I hold it in higher regard than a lot of other reviewers. EARTHANDSKY is very close to being a superb record from a band that most metalcore fans once worshipped and now had essentially thrown to the gutter. The heavy tone that returned in Defy is here again but even heavier. The general aesthetic is again cohesive. The riffs are great. The only downside is that it does get a bit same-y by the end of the record. Two of the singles shine through as the best of the record: How To Survive and Mushroom Cloud. Gravedancer is good opener though, it does the job of getting you to engage in the album through a slow open. I also liked the song Deceiver/Deceived.

Album is the best they have done since the flood, improved vocals on Aaron's end, and better songwriting than their last album. Now the lyrics...

This is the closest thing we will ever get to a new Jamie's Elsewhere record, so I'll take it ... I guess.
