Seriously. At least one person should have reviewed this by now. This album is too good to pass up. It held my attention all the way from "Intro(Which includes a part of a Pirates of the Caribbean song at the end)" all the way to "Release Collapse." I found the addition of Craig Owens of Chiodos in "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions" and Jeremy McKinnon of A Day to Remember in "Strength in Numbers" to add a lot of diversity over their debut EP "Voyage" and make this album overall a lot better. Also, I found listening to the background music instead of paying attention to the vocals on the second or third time of listening also helped me enjoy the album much more. My favorite screamo/ post-hardcore album/EP used to be Emarosa's This Is your Way Out. Not anymore.

1. Intro- 7.5/10-- Interesting opening with an interesting ending, but not really a song

2. Pirates... The Sequel- 9/10-- Lyrics paint a clear picture , but I feel as though I've heard them before(Senses Fail's Rum is for Drinking Not Burning maybe?)

3. Your World on Fire- 9.4/10-- From my experience, title tracks usually aren't all that great, but this one is.

4. The Taste of Regret- 8.5/10-- Simply a re-done version of the one on the Voyage EP.

5. The End- 8.5/10-- Great song and all, but not particularly special.

6. The Road to Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions-- 10/10 Wow. Definitely one of my favorites.

7. You Already Know You're A Goner- 8/10-- Eh.

8. Live Love Die- 9.9/10-- Also redone from their last EP, but still just as amazing if not more.

9. Strength in Numbers- 10/10-- Love the addition of A Day To Remember's lead singer

10. Release Collapse- 9.5/10-- First minute or so begins softly, then picks up to normal In Fear and Faith. Overall an excellent closer to and excellent album.


I would recommend the whole album, but if you don't want to spend the ten dollars, I suggest "Your World on Fire," The Road to Hell," or "Live Love Die"

this album is great. only problem i'd have to say is that some of the songs may start to sound the same at some points, in my opinion, but alas; a good album

Very well written lyrics with great screams as well as clean vocals. Very much worth having in your collection.

While In Fear And Faith are really bringing nothing new to the table here with Your World On Fire, they do, do what they do pretty well. Better than the mojority of their peers infact. They don't really do anything flashy, or all that exciting, but when you are driving along in your car alone at night this seems to be the perfect thing to listen to.

As a band as a whole In Fear And Faith have stepped it up a great amount since their debut ep. Though not in terms of creativity or originality. In fact i'm not really sure what they did to change the formula but they sure did something and it worked.

The only problem is the album has to be listened to as a whole because I for the life of me couldn't tell you a single thing about this that stands out to me. It's all very simular.

All in all it is an enjoyable listen if not very dry.

Love it, love it, love it. IFAF have created a truly great piece of music with this album. Bringing to mind everything from "The Devil Wears Prada" "Underoath" and "The Chariot" to "Falling Up" "Spoken" and even Pirates of the Caribbean! : ) These guys know how to write, and how to rock and both of those skills are on lofty display here.

One of my favorite things about this album is it's pacing. A lot of metalcore is like "here's the pretty piano intro, and then BOOM it's over. IFAF will actually carry an intro melody through their ENTIRE song with piano and everything (which enhances the songs a lot for people who enjoy continuity and beauty in their metal.) Another highlight is the incredible musicianship... Everything from vocals (which soar to HUGE peaks) to the drumming (tasteful and supportive of every mood) to the guitar playing (never overpowering, always intense) to the keyboards and synths that really carry a huge portion of what makes this album so tasty. A must buy in my opinion.

PS
FOR CONCERNED PARENTS:
This album does delve into some dark themes (social anxiety, depression, etc) but never fails to keep it's emphasis on reaching for hope and love. In fact, several of the songs could be translated as battle cries of the underdog tearing down their walls and preparing to take the world in a whole new light! Very positive overall. (And perhaps Christian as well, if that's what you're looking for... As a Christian myself, there's a lot for me to glean from these lyrics.)

OTHER HARDCORE GREATS TO CHECK OUT:
Unbreakable- Mychildren Mybride
Constellations- August Burns Red
Lost in the Sound of Separation- Underoath
With Roots Above and Branches Below-The Devil Wears Prada
An Ocean Between Us- As I Lay Dying
Dreamer- Haste the Day
Storm the Gates of Hell- Demon Hunter

I first heard this album at hot topic, and was hooked from the first song.
Awesome album.
I love to listen to every track on the cd.
Even better the band has a cover of Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise.

It's been a while since I heard a hardcore band that jumped out at me. In Fear and Faith did just that when I first listened to them. Rise Records has done a great job bringing in new talent, and IFAF is a prime example.

Pure aggression and adrenaline. If you like bands like The Devil Wears Prada and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster...In Fear and Faith will be right up your ally. Definitely check these guys out!

right when i popped this cd into the cd player i loved the music i was hearing. No song is a disappointment and this band/album is full of energy. The only thing wrong with you reading this review is that you dont have the cd yet. Buy this you will not be dissapointed. Hands down the most epic cd this year. You will not be dissapointed. Go see them live if you can too.

EPIC!!!

Music does not get more enjoyable than this for me! If you love the sound, than support the band, buy the album, see em live (worth driving 4 hours to go see). These guys wont let you down.

Just an excellent piece of music...playing is great, vocals (clean and scream) play off each other like melody and harmony; enough keys and touches of piano to show their songwriting skills, drummer is off the chart. Anyone into screamo or metalcore, or definitely any fan of groups like Slipknot and Fear Factory, will love this cd!

Rise Records signed a winner here. Catch them on tour if you can, but definitely...AND I MEAN DEFINITELY, BUY THIS CD! I can't stop listening!
