I possess nothing I'm free from fear I'm a monument to myself I see you drowning Half flesh half stone With ambitions that drain your health You hear... See the rest of the song lyrics

    Slowly, quietly, with near-complete calm, Fall Forever edges the listener into that space of total fragility.

    There’s still plenty of room for Fear of Men to grow, but without outside influence, they’re already masters of a unique craft.

    One feels that the band's lid has to blow at some point with so much emotional pressure bubbling beneath the surface, but for now, the group remain solid crafters of beautifully tense music.

    While it's clear that Fear of Men are branching out and exploring different sounds and techniques on this album, the warmth of the first album is missing, and the songs don't always benefit from the experimentation.

    In the end, Fall Forever feels more like an exploratory step forward than a head-to-toe reinvention of the band; it will be even more interesting to see where they go from here.

    It’s fitting the trio recorded it in a repurposed slaughterhouse, because Fall Forever is the work of a band gutting its sound and watching it bleed out.

    Fall Forever’s bare-bones approach is perfectly pretty, but never vital; perhaps, sometimes, more is more.
