This album helped me through a lot of tough times in my life. When this album came out I had just broken up with my girlfriend of 2 years because she was cheating...and as track 2 says, "2 years is a long time to pretend." The hatred on the first few tracks was really true for me at the time, and a few weeks after the album came out my grandpa passed away and as track 7 says, "I won't say goodbye and I refuse to watch you die, I won't forget." But yeah, if you're having a tough time this album is one of the best albums to listen to. It tackles just about every mood you can think of. It's fast and ferocious at times and soft and chill at other times. It goes through all the moods I was feeling when it came out, and it's just all together one of the best albums of 2003 in my opinion. All the musicians on the album are absolutely amazing and this band is extremely talented. Buy everything they have released. You won't regret it.

Much to my dissapointment, and to my hesitation to report, much of this album will only be exciting if your first band in the neo-post-punk-emo-rock genres was Thursday and you heard of them on MTV2 or in Hot Topic. It's good, but nothing overly exciting about it . . . except . . . two songs that won't let me write this album off as another collection of schlock destroying my favorite genre of rock. Track 5, "Closing My Eyes Won't Help Me Leave," is a non-stop rush of pure, true, emo goodness that will make the last few songs wait. The lyrics bounce back and forth between two different voices, the drums never settle into a steady beat, the guitars have a beautiful syncopation to them that makes it one of the best songs I've heard in quite a while. However, it is SMASHED by the 9 minute epic album closer "The Last Song I Will Ever Want To Sing." This amazing feat of songwriting pulls you through every possible emotion. My personal favorite part of the song is when it climaxes with intense, emotional screaming, and all four instruments reach a peak crecendo, and then suddenly everything stops and a small, quiet, beautiful, single guitar playing a soft dual-note rhythm sends the song into its calm, closing minutes. Like you had waited your entire life for that kiss with that person, and it finally happened, and after it was over you feel that it was everything you could have wanted it to be and more.

i would break it down song by song, but ill just sum it up in one sentence. This album is awesome, much better then their first. this cd was put together very well, and the songs are catchier. Their skills have obviously grown since the first album, i would recommend this album to any fans of static lullaby, taking back sunday, or the alkaline trio. at times they get hard with screaming and dual vocals, and at other times they are very soft. this is a great buy.
