1-Soliloquy: Intro. Pretty good intro considering I hate intros.
2-The One Armed Boxer Vs. The Flying Guillotine: I love this song. It's really a great way to kick off the CD, very fast paced song that caught my attention.
3-Note To Self: This isn't my favorite song, but it's probably one of their most well known. It's definitely not the best off the album but I love Sonny's vocals on it. Once I listen to it I love it, but compared to the rest of the album it's not very good, which is sort of unfair since it's still a good song.
4-I liked you better when you were naked on the internet: This is my favorite song, a lot of people don't like it and think it's boring, but I just love listening to Sonny's voice without the distraction of instruments and screaming. Yes those things are awesome, but Sonny's voice is more amazing. & It's a good song lyrically wise too, but is a short song. (Under two minutes.)
5-Featuring Some Of Your Favorite Words: A great song, another one of my favorites. (That's not saying too much since I love every single song on this album because they're all great.)This has a bit more instruments than some people might like, but not enough to ruin the song or anything. My favorite line is about 2 minutes into the song when Sonny goes, "No I can't breathe".
6-Emily: This is an amazingly sweet song. Even better; it's acoustic. Sonny's vocal job is amazing. It might seem like I overuse that word, but Sonny is a really really really great singer and he deserves credit. :) The only bad thing about this song is its length. I play it over-and-over because it's too short, only 2:39 and it goes by fast when you get caught up in the lyrics. This is my favorite of my favorites. It's short and sweet. Really sweet.
7-Secrets Don't Make Friends: It's a great song, but sort of disappointing after hearing Emily right before it. If a different artist had this song, it'd probably be considered their best, but this is From First To Last we're talking about! :)
8-Populace In Two: It starts out sort of slow, but picks its pace up a bit. I know a lot of people sort of dislike this song, because it's a bit slow, but it's got some lines that stick in your head. It's got a bit of an instrumental in it, but it's still a good instrumental.
9-Kiss Me, I'm contagious: The lyrics make it an ideal scene song, (Bang, Bang, Guns go bang) but this came out before the scene got really huge. It's still a pretty decent song.
10-Minuet: A minute long acoustic instrumental, I usually hate instrumentals, but I actually like this one a lot.
11-Ride The Wings Of Pestilence: A song about murder. What could feed and tame teen angst any better? Even if murder isn't your scene (no pun intended) it's a great song, I love it a lot, even when I'm not mad, so it's a great song you can enjoy anytime. Again, Sonny does some great vocals.
12: Hidden Track: This song is great J they're making fun of rap/hip hop in it, & it's a really great song. Another one of my favorites, although it disappoints me that Sonny didn't do the rap, it doesn't ruin the song though. "Hiding cameras in your bedroom, girl I know what you've done!"

Overall this is a great album the only one I listen to anymore. I've only had it for a month, but I haven't listened to any other CD since. This CD doesn't get old, and is just an amazing CD.

I heard about this band from my brother, who is a hardcore emo fan. I heard the song: Note to self, so I deicided to buy myself a copy, due to the fact I was ready for something new music wise ( My Evanescence CD is collecting dust cuz I listened to it too much, but that's not the point)

And dude.... I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!! Sonny's vocals are great, the beats are as fast as hell, the drummer is crazy, and the lycircs made my heart pound. I don't think I've listened to the enitre thing yet, but let me get into the songs I know of:

1. Note to self- 10/10 Everyone who has heard of FFTL has heard of this song. It has great lycrics, but the beat gets old after you listen to it too much

2. I liked you better when you were naked on the internet- 4/10 It's ok, nothing really that special.

3. Emily- 10/10 I love it. It's such a bittersweet song that makes you sad. It's perfect to play when you miss someone you love

4. Secrets don't make friends- 8/10 It's pretty good. Not my fave track on the CD, but it's good. The lycrics as usual are great.

5. Populace in two- 8/10 I liked this one alot too. It reminded me of a blink 182 song or soemthing. i don't why, it was probley the guitar.

6.Kiss me, I"m contigous- 9/10 AWESOME SONG!!!!! Sonny is an awesome screamer

7. Minuet- 9/10 Beautiful. It's perfect before you go into Ride the wings of Pestilence.

8. Ride the Wings of Pestilence- 10/10 OMG!!!! This is the best track on the CD!!! I love the angsty lycircs, the high pitched guitars, and of course, Sonny's vocals. The best part of the song is the ending, where Sonny screams, and the guitars go extermly highpitched. It makes chills go down you're spine. This song will get stuck in you're head for days.

So buy this album. I promise, if you need to get away from mainstream bands like Yellowcard, Simple plan, or Evanescence ( Though i love them) , this band will be you're awnser.

I bought this record totally on a whim. I had heard buzz about this band, but had heard none of their songs. Thanks to a Target gift card and an $8.00 sticker I picked it up, and I am glad I did. Let's set the record straight, this is not your standard Mall-punk emo core outfit. This band draws influences from hardcore and skate/speed punk (in the vein of Pennywise/older Strung Out). The Vocals on this record, as well as the lyrical content shows flashes of The Smiths. The record is very dark in my opinion, and the lyrics reflect uncertaintly, longing, desperation, and anger. The slower,off-tempo tracks like the pining ballad "Emily" and the trippy "I Liked You Better Before You Were Naked on the Internet" contrast nicely with brutal sonic assaults like "Riding the Wings of Pestilence", which is my favorite track on the disc. This record is different from what a lot of bands are putting out right now, and I expect that this young band will be blowing our speakers out for years to come.
