    Not feeling the album at all, it definitely isn't what I was expecting, they're are not there yet. Try again please and come back with something good that I can enjoy...

    Yesterday, 2011/10/09 i've been at the concert in Cologne, Germany (Gebäude 9). They come to stage and the singer Mr. Roberts played the most of the set with his back to the crowd. I love the sound, music and the 'message' of WU LYF, but they played only around 35-40 mins and at the end they blamed the crowd for not getting the right feeling this evening.
    Never seen a gig

    Never seen a gig like that before. It's a monster tour they are playing but that should never be the cause for such a bad gig.

    Offers both considerable beauty and ugliness. [#82, p. 62]

    Go Tell Fire to the Mountain is surprisingly just a little too ordinary to be considered the groundbreaker many anticipated.

    The stark contrast between frontman Ellery Robert's guttural, yell-sing vocals and the squeaky-clean instrumentation not only works harmoniously, but also creates a distinct and commanding sound.
