The band takes leaps and bounds on their sophomore record without taking away the extremely powerful and potent screamo lyrics. There is something so beautiful about this record. Not sure if it?s the shoegaze style post-rock guitar riffs, the heaviness of the screams, the spoken word poetic passages, or if it?s because this album just feels so cold. From the opening track?s atmospheric post-rock guitar passages and distant screams to the very emotional emo ballad of ?Lost Ballad of Dominic Anneghi?. Everything on here is a solid and tight screamo album with no filler. The biggest complaint I have is they do fall into a fairly common screamo box and if you aren?t ready for that this is a lot. This is a soul-crushing, self-loathing look at one?s self and that is a tough topic.
