5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing..., August 14, 2008

By	HarukaHavok "Haruka" (Feasting with the vampires.) - See all my reviews

I'm so glad HH was able to continue on, even with the death of a crucial member. This album is far more mature, and better, than their last two albums IMO. I wasn't sure what to expect without the screaming, but Heights seems to have gone in a whole new direction with Fragile Future.

I've listened to it several times since getting it a few days ago, and so far my favorite tracks are "Rescue Me" and "Four Becomes One". There's definitely a more morose undertone to the music on this album; it doesn't sound as poppy and upbeat as some of the songs on their older albums.

I have to admit, I cried during the last minute of "Sugar in the Engine". I've felt that way before, about wishing you could say goodbye to someone, wishing you knew that you were seeing them alive for the last time.

I'm proud of the boys, really. Casey's death could have broken them up. Instead they chose to go on, for his sake.

The reprise of Come Back Home is nice, with the slowed-down chorus of "This is Who We Are" at the end. I thought that was a nice surprise.

Okay, I'm done - bottom line, get this album. It's by far their best yet. I can keep listening to it over and over and not tire of it, it's that amazing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A change, September 6, 2008

By	Ron - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fragile Future (MP3 Download)

I think this is definitely a change for Hawthorne Heights. I have been listening to their music for about four years now, and this is the biggest "jump" I have heard in their music. Yes, their music obviously sounds different because they no longer have the screamer (Casey Calvert), but they are still carrying on with their music. It was their decision to not replace Casey, and I do respect that. Casey's passing gave them new opportunities to go in a different direction with their music, and this is definitely a nice change from what I have always heard from them. I really do like this album. It shows their true feelings inspired by this past year, but yet it's a pretty upbeat album. You've got the mellow songs with a lot of feeling, but then you've got the really upbeat sort of pop-rock songs that have a lot of feeling. They have done a great job on this album. <3 :)

5.0 out of 5 stars wow, August 30, 2008

By	Jim A. Briedwell (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Why waste a whole bunch of useless words trying to explain this cd.
If I could describe this cd with one word its simply: Beautiful.
I'm a fan of the old school and the so called "more hardcore" cds, but this cd is just as good as the next. I can tell that these guys have a passion behind their music. Do them a favor and pick up a copy of this amazing cd.
