Wow.....this band never disappoints me! Definitely in my top 10 for the year. And can I just say that I think people are too quick to judge how good their music is? GIVE IT MULTIPLE LISTENS PEOPLE!!!! You can't just listen to an album once and be sure it won't grow on you. This band did not deserve all the hate they got for City Of Echoes. That was a GREAT, albeit under produced album. It just took quite a few listens to understand what they were going for.
