I was a little skeptical on how this cd was gunna be after I heard a couple songs from the album, but being the loyal DLD fan, i went out and bought the cd. I absolutely loved the Five EP, and couldn't wait to hear more from them. Well after the first listen (in which it was turned down low, so I couldn't hear it very well) I was a little dissapointed. But I decided to give it another chance, but this time I cranked it, and what do you know, I f***in love it. The crazy guitar breakdowns and melody is amazing. I like the ambience on the cd too, it adds a cool touch to the music. Anyways, if you ever listened to these guys, go out and get this, it is sick.

Shedding their adolescent pop punk skin and moving forward into the progressive realm of music, DON'T LOOK DOWN are doing their impersonation of a butterfly on the verge of spreading their wings. Their "The Fear In Love" album is a plausible departure from their previous pop punk ways and it shows through a clearly defined, linear soundscape that is somewhat dark and ultimately sincere. Rather than relying the tried and true methods, DON'T LOOK DOWN placed emphasis and more instrumentation while still touching upon the attractiveness of pop punk. This record in particular could be weighed against SELFMADEMAN'S most recent effort or within the field of play for that specific style of music. Driving rock beats with pushy energy fused with the sincerity of someone who has gained wisdom in a very short period of time is right about where DON'T LOOK DOWN are headed with this one. Blessedly, they aren't a cheap fabrication of all the non-descript punk rock bands out there. Their mood and steadiness throughout the record does explore the outer reaches of pop punk but as with most of the songs, they come back to their newly discovered level of musical development. This record was neither too simple nor too complex. It worked in between those lines and produced satisfying beats, a tempered pace, mid to upper octave vocals and a constant barrage of rock motivated rhythms. Check out songs like "Trust is a Word", "Down and Out", "The Fear in Love" and "Dramatic You." If these don't turn you into a fan, then DON'T LOOK DOWN isn't for you.

If you thought the transition between their debut "Start The Show" and last year's "Five" was big, just wait until you hear this record. The songs are just as catchy and energetic as ever, but you can easily hear how much they've matured. Just in case you're new to Don't Look Down, the enhanced part of the CD is a video timeline from last year's Warped Tour up to the making of this record. The great thing about this record is that there's no band that you can say it sounds like. If you're into energetic indie rock, or either of Don't Look Down's old albums, do yourself a favor and get this.
