It's a testament to how eclectic Thee Silver Mt. Zion is that they decided to implement a new style on this record that neither they or their sister band GY!BE had previously explored: a choir. How much of a difference does that really make, though? As it turns out, it's an excellent and freshening addition to an already great band. This is shown in full on "Sow Some Lonesome Corner So Many Flowers Bloom", the opener, and easily one of their best songs. The use of these choir-backed harmonies, emotionally potent vocals from Efrim Muneck, and the classic somber-string/beautiful ambience combination that characterizes the band, permeates the record and makes a gripping experience. Since moving out of the shadow of Godspeed with the post-Rock essential Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upward, they've made sure they stay out of it with this one, even if it is a slight step down from their previous effort.

On This Is Our Punk Rock, A Silver Mount Zion create an epic album led by the raw vocals of Efrim Menuck. Each song has it's moments that make it stellar, from the choir introduction to the opening track to the "Everybody Hurts" spinoff that closes the record. In a genre that is supposedly dying, ASMZ put a fresh spin on post rock, with this album being an original, enjoyable listen.
