The outfit's three-axe attack coupled with the distinctive pipes of J.T. Woodruff find Hawthorne Heights able to go where peers like Fall Out Boy just can't.
-
Alternative PressLonely will buy Hawthorne Heights a few more minutes beyond the 15 they've already received. Here's to hoping they'll use that time to think outside of the box a little more when they write LP3. [Mar 2006, p.119]
-
Entertainment WeeklySurprisingly banal, bland, and--most importantly--hook deficient. [3 Mar 2006, p.99]
-
BlenderWoodruff is never anything but coweringly passive, a trait about as appealing as it is annoying. [Apr 2006, p.112]
-
Guitarist Casey Calvert reprises his role as the group's designated screamer, but his vocal thrashings are featured less prominently here, relegated mainly to solos near the end of songs. Surprisingly, this ends up being a bad thing, because while the screaming is grating at times, it provides one of the principal elements of the band's sound.
-
SpinHawthorne Heights shun nuance altogether. Quiet equals depth; loud equals catharsis. And never the twain shall meet. [Mar 2006, p.94]
-
The New York TimesToo many of the songs feel flat, despite the stormy guitars and stormier lyrics. [27 Feb 2006]
