5.0 out of 5 stars differences, April 17, 2005

By	Dylan JZ (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

back when this album came out it was a totally different band from even the satellite years; the two releases "frailty of words" and no wings to speak of were done by the band members: Doug- vocals, Ryan- guitar and vocal, josh- guitar, Pat- bass and Adam on drums I think like one of those people is actually still in hopesfall lmao although they still rock so hard they even terrific now with A-types out even though its wayyyy different from this stuff anyways just though all you new kids might wanna know some history instead of acting like you know the story... NO JAY FORREST UNTIL THE SATELLITE YEARS

5.0 out of 5 stars brutality + beauty , February 11, 2006

By	moxy silver - See all my reviews

Simultaneously savage and gorgeous, this record is righteous crazy-horse hardcore often in unorthodox, exhilarating time signatures. Hopesfall make great use of both loud/soft dynamics and screamed/quiet dual vocals without being a lame screamo cliche. The melodies are varied, rich and ambitious, never resorting to gimmicky dramaqueen emo-pop conventions, working synergistically with the celestial fury of the hardcore element rather than upstaging it. The production/recording quality is comparitively rough, but it serves the songs well.

Put bluntly, this record eats all other emocore albums/bands for breakfast.

For the record, the vocalist on this record is Doug Venable, NOT Jay Forrest; the only original member in the current lineup is guitarist Josh Brigham. Read the liner notes.
