Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Perspective plays a key role in Silverstein's new album, "Discovering The Waterfront." It is a central theme in songs that explore self-determination and coping with change. Addiction to negative relationships is another recurrent theme, from the opening track; "Your Sword Versus My Dagger" to "My Heroine," lyricist/vocalist Shane Told is beyond candid as he tells stories of obsession, hopelessness and ultimately redemption. The music is flawlessly executed, with powerful instrumentation and the melodic/raw vocal juxtaposition that Told delivers seamlessly.

Silverstein formed in Burlington, Ontario, on the outskirts of Toronto in 2000. Emerging from the thriving hardcore scene in their hometown, the band began honing their sound, and recording whenever possible. Two EPs followed and a former member of Grade began talking the band up to his friends at Victory Records. The band signed with Victory shortly afterward. They released "When Broken Is Easily Fixed" which went on to sell over 200,000 copies worldwide, earning the band a spot in Alternative Press' 100 Bands You Need To Know in the spring of 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars Progress For The Better, August 17, 2005
By Kevin (California) - See all my reviews
I would say that Silverstein is breaking even here. It's not quite at the level mediocrity, nor is it a sell-out record by any means, these guys did deliver...but I felt semi-short changed after the last track was said and done.

Vocally it's more medolic at times, and although the amount of screaming is reduced in comparison to "When Broken Is...", the abscence of that was balanced out with the instrumentals. The first half of the album is stunning, the rest kinda/sorta gives you a mesh of redundancy. I would've really liked to hear the entire thing push the envelope with the intricate sound that was written all over the first 5 tracks. Had they done that, "Discovering.." could've been the strongest piece of work to date for the band. I was very impressed, but not as impressed as I had anticipated to be.

Highlights:

My Sword Vs. Your Dagger -- A good opener, probably the most aggressive track. There really aren't many others that come close to the pace of 'My Sword' -- though, had it been put somewhere in the middle of the album, it would've stuck out as the remaining songs go on to be a little more indifferent.

Fist Wrapped in Blood -- Really complex. After hearing this on purevolume a while back I was definately blown away by how many change-ups ran through this song of only 2 minutes and 57 seconds.

The Ides of March -- A bit catchy and predictable at times. It shows how unique these guys can be on a song without screwing it up like most bands do while trying to be innovative. They nailed it.

Discovering The Waterfront -- Hands down the best thing to come out of this record. The only real ballad-esque track, the vocals alone are amazing/haunting, solid from start to finish. Some would say 'meh it's just another emo song', but it rightly defines a good chunk of the album. Even if the lyrics aren't ultra strong, it's profound enough to relate to. As far as sound goes, the breakdown of the chorus is rough, perfect to match the harmonic flow. Clocking in at almost 5 minutes, I'm glad the most impressve song also turned out to be the longest of the record.

Overall, "Discovering the Waterfront" isn't a massive step for Silverstein but at the same time it was a good step. "When Broken" was also amazing, but I still think they're holding back from making a full on masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped Me Through Some Hard Times, June 4, 2007
Silverstein's one of a kind album, Discovering The Waterfront, has so many tracks that are so doggone good that it's just simply chilling. Very few albums touch me that way this one has. Everyone goes through the kind of things like these songs deal with. This album can be as relevant to your life just as it was mine. It helped me through some tough times and surprised me on how much I had in common with some of these songs. The famous tracks "Your Sword vs. My Dagger", "Fist Wrapped in Blood", and "Discovering the Waterfront" are all great songs full of meaningful lyrics. I can't praise this record enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better, August 19, 2005
I agree with the person below me on some points. I like the last album, but felt that the lyrics were a bit immature. I was hoping to find a change with the sophmore effort, but i did not. But on the other hand... i listen to a lot of emo/hardcore... so I'm used to lyrics like this. The first four or five songs on Discovering the Waterfront are really a lot heavier than When Broken Is Easily Fixed. There are actually a few attempted breakdowns! I really like the first half of this album. The last half is kind of up-beat and not as heavy... but those songs aren't bad. The SCREAMING IS WAAAAAYYYYY BETTER. That's what i'm most impressed with on this album. I think Silverstein gets my vote for most improved band... for now.
