5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing..., August 14, 2008

I'm so glad HH was able to continue on, even with the death of a crucial member. This album is far more mature, and better, than their last two albums IMO. I wasn't sure what to expect without the screaming, but Heights seems to have gone in a whole new direction with Fragile Future.

I've listened to it several times since getting it a few days ago, and so far my favorite tracks are "Rescue Me" and "Four Becomes One". There's definitely a more morose undertone to the music on this album; it doesn't sound as poppy and upbeat as some of the songs on their older albums.

I have to admit, I cried during the last minute of "Sugar in the Engine". I've felt that way before, about wishing you could say goodbye to someone, wishing you knew that you were seeing them alive for the last time.

I'm proud of the boys, really. Casey's death could have broken them up. Instead they chose to go on, for his sake.

The reprise of Come Back Home is nice, with the slowed-down chorus of "This is Who We Are" at the end. I thought that was a nice surprise.

Okay, I'm done - bottom line, get this album. It's by far their best yet. I can keep listening to it over and over and not tire of it, it's that amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing short of spectacular!, August 6, 2008

I wasn't sure what to expect from Fragile Future. After hearing "Rescue Me" I worried that maybe the entire CD would be softer sounding, similar to that song. I was wrong! Though Casey's screaming is noticeably absent on Fragile Future, giving the band a slightly different sound than on their previous releases, Fragile Future is still a solid set of songs. In a word, it rocks! The lyrics, the beats, the message - it all culminates in a feast for the ears. If you're a fan of Hawthorne, this CD is a must.

When I first heard that Hawthorne Heights was going to do an album with no screamer I was a little worried about how it would sound. But no need to worry. Very good album with very poignant lyrics on songs such as "Four to One" and "Come back Home." If you are a Hawthorne fan and you are debating on whether its worth the buy. Take my word for it and go and get it.
