This band has an odd identity. They seem generic at first look, but a close listen will reveal something much greater. These guys aren't just an underoath/static lullaby knockoff. You can listen to this EP and see that. There's so much stuff done on here that's never been done for this kind of music. It's almost like screamo vocals and guitar meets hardcore drumming. I love it. Many will label this as sketchy run-around hardcore that fails to deliver but that's probably just them failing to be able to realize how much originality really exists here.

The variety of musical element's YR uses is astounding. Metal, emo, hardcore, pop, progressive ect... That's only a few, but you get the point. On top of all that though, the production is cleaner than a baby's bottom. It sounds very close to overdone but fortunately this kind of music can take the heat.

One sad part though, is the fact that it sounds like what it is. (A bunch of genres put together into a sound the band likes) yeah sure, the riffs are sickly, and the songs are all rich in variation...but there's nothin here I haven't heard before in on form or another. It's almost like buying a quick compalation of all the genres listed above. The fact is, YR has no sound of their own, just a mix-and-match copy cat EP that is slighty over-produced.

I haven't listened to lightworker so if it's more original then forgive me, but this band has no real artistic talent. The just play other peoples music well and blend it well.

3 stars for production, vocals, talent, and looks...

I see that most of these reviews come from people that know the band. Well I don't. This EP has something different with it.
It is Hardcore but, also EMO comes to minds. I would also recommend the band that won the Battle for OZZfest, "A Dozen Furies". They both have the same feeling and difference in their music.

This cd is pretty solid and very passionate . ''You Tell Me'' made me and my brother jump . We were not expecting what was next and thats mainly what i like about this cd . I like their stamp of creativity .

I'm really 17...and i didn't want to put in any info but i wanted to say something about this cd. This cd changed my life because i know the drummer and i know the bassist...and it changed their lives too...i also made the yesterdays rising group on myspace...so i know what repect they deserve...the singer DOES NOT sound like every other singer...brandon has his own indivdual amazing voice that he uses...along with Jamie's drumming, Justin's bass skills, john's amazing guitar useage, and Richie's amazing rythem he plays...this band is sight for sore eyes of the emocore scene...check out their new album comming out..."Light Worker"

our lucid dream is really badass, itll get u goin, but the singer sounds like every other one, good band good drummer,
