I first heard about BSF when my friend told me about them. Something about this band just struck a chord with me, it was the pure intensity in Nathan's voice. BSF is one of those bands that when you hear them you know they mean it. One of my favorite songs off this cd are "Another Badge of Courage" and "The Fine Art of Falling". These tracks are a great example of the passionate songwriting that BSF became known for. I know BSF is a politically-charged band, and i dont really agree with some of their lyrics, but its the near ballad songs that get me. This is the best BSF cd by far. I'm not dissing their other albums, but The Day the Sun Went Out is a true and honest effort.

i hadn't heard this album in about 8 years, it had mysteriously disappeared with my vinyl collection. one day, the lyrics to 'the power remains the same' popped back into my head and i had to have this album again. just as powerful as i remembered.

"The Day The Sun Went Out" is Boysetsfire at their best. Some might say "After the Eulogy" is their best album. It is a very close call. Seeing the band 7 times live in Chicago, I just feel the emotion and the anger that went into these songs. They are the most heart felt songs they've ever written. At least to me any ways. You can't possibly understand this band without hearing this record. It is my favorite record of all time. Buy it!

This Album along with Falling Forward's "Hand Me Down" and Endpoint's "Catharsis" helped define just what midwestern emotional hardcore was. These bands all helped introduce hardcore kids to "emo" and "emo" kids to hardcore. They crossed barriers and struck a new level of intensity never before reached in hardcore. I remember in 1998 when I first heard these bands. Before I had only listened to youth of today, minor threat, chain of strength, etc. and when I heard these bands I knew they were the real deal. Don't evenm consider calling yourself a fan of 90's hardcore (or even hardcore in general) unless you own these albums!!!
