Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Not many musicians influenced by punk, hardcore and metal are also well versed in poetry, literature and comparative religion. Then again, not many musicians are in Senses Fail.

While dozens of their peers continue to create soul-rendering music about the girls who shattered their hearts and ruined their lives, the Bergen County, New Jersey five piece takes a more intellectual approach to sonic catharsis. Even the name Senses Fail comes from frontman Buddy Nilelsen's interest in spirituality.

"In Hinduism, they believe that being alive is hell, and the only way to reach Nirvana is to ultimately have no attachments to anything," he explains. "So, people go out and live in the middle of the woods and they don't eat and don't drink. They just meditate because they've reached such a high level where they're not attached to love, relationships or anything. And if you want to reach the highest level of being and see God, you have to have all your senses fail."

The band's full-length debut, Let It Enfold You, is a melodic and an emotionally revealing slugfest that dives into unusual and refreshing subject matter. The title track is named after a poem by nihilistic author and poet Charles Bukowski, "The Irony of Dying on Your Birthday" draws from the work of mythologist Joseph Campbell and the lyrics of "Slow Dance" are comprised of lines from Dao De Jing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A straight-up review for anyone curious about Senses Fail...., August 10, 2006
You know, I was scrolling through the reviews of a few bands and I came across the Let Enfold You reviews page. I got to the point where I was like, "No one's gonna know what the hell they sound like, because it's emo bashers and brainwashed emo-fans who can't the difference between their 'favorite' bands." So here we go, an unbiased straight up review from a fan of Cartel, The Showdown, Underoath, 311 and DMB :

Let It Enfold You is an interesting record, especially for the screamo genre. They only have one guitarist which is really cool, because this album is REALLY good in the guitar aspect, start to finish. Musically this album is fantastic, with pretty solid basslines and some nice, fast drums. Lyrically the album exceeded my expectations, especially on Buried In A Lie. Another reviewer said that they drop the F-Bomb quite frequently, which is an inaccurate thing to say, especially if you have two things to say about a cd, both being negative.

The only complaint I have about LIEY is that after awhile the songs sort of mesh together and it's hard to differencate between them. Standout tracks include Buried In A Lie, NJ Falls Into The Atlantic, Choke On This and Martini Kiss.

For fans of the screamo genre plus some more advanced guitar lines, definately check out Senses Fail, especially fans of Underoath, Saves The Day, and maybe Silverstein.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't get it out of my head, January 30, 2006
(Note: this review is for the "special edition" of this album, which includes a few extra songs and a bouns DVD. Get the special edition if you can because their cover of Suicidal Tendencies' "Institutionalized" is well worth it.)

This CD caught me by surprise. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it sure wasn't metal. The twin Gibson attack, frenetic drumming and thrashy bass are all very tight. If you put a different lead singer in, you'd end up with...well, a metal band. But their singer, "Buddy", is very '80s influenced. He sounds like so many of the lead-singers of punk bands I've heard. But he can also do nu-metal-type screams, grunts & growls. I don't see how he can thrash his voice like this & still manage to sound coherent when he's actually singing, but the overall effect is killer.

And speaking of killer...those lyrics! Digging up your ex-girlfriend's grave and performing an autopsy? Love me with a chainsaw? You love my bloody kiss? Cannibal Corpse it ain't, thank God, but the lyrics depict a very unbalanced individual at the helm of Senses Fail. The overall effect is blood, flesh-wounds, alcohol poisoning, pyromania, and tribal noise.

The songs on this CD stick in your brain, for better or worse. Overall verdict: I Like It! It ain't the absolute greatest album I've heard, but it's a very solid 4 stars in my book. These guys are young, and as good as this CD is, I've got a feeling their best work is ahead of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Senses Fail "Let It Enfold You", October 23, 2004
By Aaron L. (Rome, New York United States) - See all my reviews
"Tie Her Down" (9/10)
"Lady In A Blue Dress" (10/10)
"You're Cute When You Scream" (8/10)
"Buried A Lie" (10/10)
"Bite To Break Skin" (9/10)
"Rum Is For Drinking, Not Burning" (9/10)
"Slow Dance" (8/10)
"Choke On This" (7/10)
"NJ Falls Into The Atlantic" (6/10)
"Let It Enfold You" (7/10)
"Irony Of Dying On Your Birthday" (7/10)
"Angela Baker And My Obsession With Fire" (9/10)
"Martini Kiss" (7/10)

Senses Fail's debut full-length is a solid effort. The band seems to sink further away from screaming and more into pop-punk emo but it's not necesarrely a bad thing. Standout tracks include "Lady In A Blue Dress," "Buried A Lie," and "Angela Baker and My Obsession With Fire."

Overall rating: 8.1 out of 10.
