When compared to ETID it's not that great, but when I think of it as basically a Keith Buckley solo album, it's pretty good in it's own right.

Album is all over the place. Not particularly cohesive. It starts to smooth out around Harbinger, but most of the songs rely on Keith?s choruses to land, and unfortunately most fall flat for me. Sounds like a lot of bland butt rock at times. The lyrics are also particularly on the nose, shallow, and repetitive. I really wanted to like this but I have no desire to listen to it again

Man this site is making me feel insane for enjoying this as much as I am. Yeah the lyrics aren't up to snuff compared to the latter ETID releases, but I don't think Keith wrote a lot of this, but I could be wrong. I think he sounds as good as ever here and I think his cleans are the best they've been too. Could use some more variety and less repetition in some sections but I'll be jamming this for the next few weeks probably.

In which Keith proves he isn't what made ETID special

Much like the album art, The Light Age proves to be a barren wasteland of bland songwriting and unmemorable riffs. Honestly, the only reason to care about this project was the inclusion of Keith Buckley, and sure... his trademark scathing harsh vocals are always a treat to listen to; but his clean choruses just do not land, and they are absolutely everywhere on this thing. The lyrics also suffer greatly with their incessant preachiness. Keith unfortunately appears to have lost his direction, and without his longtime brothers in Every Time I Die, seems to be heading up shit creek without a paddle.

Don't understand stand the hate. This is quite the jam. It's like The Damned Things mixed with a
little Gutter Phenomenon + Keith's best clean vocals.

The rest of ETID may not need Keith, but this proves Keith's music is far more mediocre without the rest of ETID around him.

jordan was the brains behind everything, keith is a great vocalist but it's clear he doesn't have it on his own

This was not for me, not sure who it is for to be honest as it was all over the place with alt-
rock, hardcore, grunge, metal in a less than adhesive fashion. Through the course of the album a
few parts harken back the best aspects of Everytime I Die, but otherwise feels rushed and forced.

Angry white man rage: the album. Sorry Keith, you ain?t win this one. Better lovers? album is already better and there?s
only two songs out. Also… these fucking lyrics. Ew. Mystic cord reads like jaded middle schooler poetry.
