This record is incredible. According to the band, the albums is about a relationship dissolving, and because the writer seemed to have written these songs in order to make himself, and others, feel better, many of the songs have this heartwarming feel to them, as corny as it sounds. The song "Type One" perfectly exemplifies this feeling. Other standout tracks include "Drugwolf," "I Am Everything I Am Not," and "I Cannot Answer You Tonight." If you loved the way the band experimented with different sounds, song structures, and time signatures on their previous album, ...Is Dead, you will certainly love this one, as they delve further into experimentation and pushing the realm of sound that is supposed to be modern hardcore. Take the album opener, "Queue Moderns," for example. It starts off with what sounds like all the band members harmonizing a couple lines repeatedly, resulting in something that reminds me of monk chants, and then it breaks into the fastest (albiet brief) part on the record! There are a lot of bands out right now trying to do the melodic, progressive hardcore thing that Crime in Stereo plays with, but this record blows them out of the water.

I always check Metacritic for indie darling bands that might not be overrated. This band musically is definitely right on part with their rating but the singing is atrocious. One of the singers is very beautiful and melodic while the other one is more of a no talent screamer.

The music is incredible the guitar/drums/bass all flow very well but all the while you hear this annoying lead singer who hits occasionally has a decent song
