    The album's powerful efforts are dilluted by the singer's not knowing when to stop screaming.

    When I heard "Downfall" I thought it was a bit hard-rock...It's nothing but Emo. You like Emo? Buy this album. Be warned: "Downfall" is the heaviest song, and that's not saying much either.

    This album is so overrated. If you want the real thing go out and get Thursday-Full Collapse

    Successful imitation requires a kind of talent, too. [#9, p.156]

    Despite the simplistic formulas present here, these young men have patched together a sound that is catchy and eager for additional spins.

    The singing's understatement and harmonic sophistication help the band transcend overblown corporate rock and embrace sensitive emo pop.
