5.0 out of 5 stars Bayside has Graduated, February 7, 2007

This album isn't as easy on the ears of a fan of the screamo/emo genre as the others have been. Bayside has been pigeonholed with the rest of the Victory records bands, though never earned their reputation as screamo. This album is a foresight by Bayside by layering their sound and sophisticating their lyrics. The market has been saturated by self loathing emo bands and Bayside has proved that music in this arena can be incredibly deep without being depressing. Few other bands in this genre have attempted to distance themselves from the stereotype only to move so far away they don't appeal to their core audiences anymore. With this album, Bayside manages to appeal to their most loyal audience along with growing up with them

This new CD from Bayside is everything I was hoping it would be. Soaring vocals and tight guitars combined to create musical bliss... Ok maybe that's a little much but this is a great album. Bayside has done it again by making an album that delivers on all levels. The most notable improvement on this CD is the guitar work. The solos are more complicated and fit perfectly into the respective song. Top tracks include The Walking Wounded, They're Not Horses They're Unicorns (which I think will be their next Devotion and Desire) and Choice Hops and Bottled Self Esteem. Overall it sounds like vintage Bayside, which is not a bad thing. Highly recommended album, along with their previous releases Acoustic, Bayside, and Sirens and Condolences.

From "Sirens and Condolences" to their self titled album to this newest venture "The Walking Wounded". Bayside never disappoints. They take what they do well and do something new with it to make it better. The catchy vocals and lyrics of Anthony are still there and even better. Jack's amazing guitar lines and unfathomable solo ablility continues to amaze audiences in the title track and also in "Choice Hops and Bottled Self-Esteem". The drumming is great even minus "Beatz" and Chris does much to honor his legacy. Nick's bass lines are getting wonderfully complex and squeeze this album above any in the genre. They still have their signature dark sound but with a new sense of hope and confidence not yet seen till now. They have come through much and its great to see it has affected them positively. Hopefully they will continue this trend and show a great tour to compliment their new record as they always do.
