3.6 greatTrey STAFF | May 27th 23

Chuggy, melodramatic, atmospheric, melodic metalcore with Blink-182-ish choruses. Yeah, the choruses aren't the best, very few actually compliment the songs, and they all sound vaguely similar -- it is what it is. The band also seems to veer to far into the melodramatic with some of the lyrics, but it doesn't really hurt the vibe overall. The music and harsh vocals are what will keep most people coming back. There's a lot of chugs, obviously, but there's also a lot of cool things done with the keyboards that provide a lot of atmosphere and melody.

Is this even the same band as before? Surprisingly heavy and straight forward. Very well done!

It's good, but doesn't seem to really excite me, especially compared to later releases such as Misery. It just seems to be heavy for the sake of being heavy, and just piling blast beats on blast beats

It's solid, but nothing amazing - probably somewhere between a 3 and 3.5. I'll round up since this is a big step up from their last few albums.

Nice Return to form. Im going to pretend this was the album right after LTOTM.

After three straight albums of mediocrity, it's nice to see TAA back on track. "I See Dead People" is without a doubt the heaviest song they've ever released, and songs like "It's Hell Down Here" and "Fade Away" have soaring choruses reminiscent of LTOTM.

2012?s ?Chasing Ghosts? was probably the biggest release for me when I was a high school student. There was a lot of change going around me at the time and something about the blistering and emotional lyricism paired with the heavy instrumentals resonated with me. However, through the years and as I have aged the band has suffered big time from that release. The use of alternative rock and pop punk never sounded very good for the band and by the last few releases I had written the band off. So, when I saw the band was releasing their 8th studio full-length, I was not exactly excited. However, the band seems to be returning to form on ?Not Without My Ghosts?. With heavy metalcore and harrowing post-hardcore screams over very djent style guitar riffs the band feels as energetic and emotional as they ever have. It is a perfect album, no, not at all. Everything here is fairly one-dimensional plus the back half is nowhere near as strong as the top half. But for me and probably many long terms fans it?s amazing to see the band go back to what they were originally known for.
