    Misadventures is the stuff of time capsules, marvelously embodying everything important this musical subculture offers while enthusiastically transcending its limitations with authentic charms.

    They stay true to the genre's penchant for loud/quiet/loud posturing, on-the-nose emotional cues, and strategically placed breakdowns throughout, but they do so while flexing some significant creative muscle.

    This album does ooze quality though and has enough flourishes of originality to keep the quartet moving forward, but perhaps even more importantly for the band, their fans (and us, for that matter), the wait is over.

    Sometimes the melodrama is enough to cringe at; sometimes the sultriness is enough to make you blush. ... Overall though, Misadventures is an impeccably polished take on that sort of emotive sing-scream stuff that fans will love.

    Aggressive enough to be Post-Hardcore, edgy enough to be Punk and is yet still the band we know. Misadventures is the appropriately titledAggressive enough to be Post-Hardcore, edgy enough to be Punk and is yet still the band we know. Misadventures is the appropriately titled fourth LP by the San Diego band Pierce The Veil.
    It's begins with the track 'Dive In' which is equal doses of Punk-rock and Post-Hardcore. The song does a good job reminding the world that they are still one of the biggest acts in their respective genre.
    'Today I Saw The Whole World' feels like a summarization of their 'Misadventures' which only made it the perfect song to place at the middle of the album. It's catchy, upbeat and is definitely another stand out tracks.
    Other songs that you will find yourself drawn to include pop-rock tunes like 'Song For Isabela' and 'Cirlces'. Long time fans will enjoy tracks like 'Phantom Power And Ludicrous Speed' and 'The Divine Zero'.    … Full Review »

They are the band your proud to introduce to your friends and this latest album showcases the reasons why in brilliant fashion. The instrumental talent displayed on there latest album would impress even the most cynical rock critic. Leader Vic Fuentes reminds us how dynamic of a front man he can be with clever lyrics and the ability to paint mental pictures in our minds song after song. Misadventures proves that taking some time away can be a beneficial and ultimately rewarding thing for a band in today's "get em' out quick" music world. ****… Full Review »

    I just recently became aware of this band and this album is pretty fantastic. The 5th track is somewhat of a dud, but every other song on hereI just recently became aware of this band and this album is pretty fantastic. The 5th track is somewhat of a dud, but every other song on here is solid to excellent and the album as a whole has a cohesive, properly sequenced feel to it. IMO this album is tied with Diamond Eyes by Deftones for best metal album of the last 10 years… Full Review »
