Editorial Reviews

2010 album from the Alt-Rockers. Skeletons is an unflinching look at what has brought them to this place, executed with a firm desire to make the best of what they see as an opportunity for renewal by expanding their musical palette. Sure, there's the anthemic hard rock of 'Bring You Back,' with its aching feelings of loss, but there's also the Funk-driven '80s New Wave noir feel of 'Nervous Breakdown,' which describes the insanity of having your lives in the hands of the legal system, the eerie Johnny Cash country shuffle of 'Gravestones,' with Micah Carli manning the pedal steel guitar, the Pop harmonies of 'Picket Fences,' the unsparing look at a recession-wracked heartland and the epic emotional scope of 'Boy,' JT Woodruff's autobiographical look back at a childhood in which his family was abandoned by an alcoholic father.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid album, October 19, 2010

They've calmed down a lot since their debut album- I'm sure the death of Casey had something to do with it. Their sound is different without a screamer. There's a very small bit of screaming in End of the Underground, but most of it is pretty relaxed. The first time I listened to it, I almost quickly dismissed it but after a few more listens I really liked it. Pretty much every song is excellent and the album as a whole closes very smoothly with Boy. It's a solid album from start to finish. I'd highly recommend it.

I'm a HUGE fan of HH, and have been for a few years now. the song "Bring you Back" is brilliant and heartful, because of what and who it's about. We all miss Casey, and alway will. I looked for days in stores for this album before giving in and getting it online.

RIP Casey Calvert, Nov. 24, 2007

I follow HH on all social networking sites I belong to, so I was all about June 1st when this product was up for sale. I own every album they have ever made and none of their CDs have ever disappointed me yet -- including this one. Rock on Hawthorne Heights!! :D
