    While the band is reliant on old emo tricks with their sound, it still is some damn solid emo music filled with unique composition and raw, muscular, and fiery instrumentation and singing from frontman Cameron Boucher, and lyrics that contains the heart-on-their-sleeves aesthetic of emo with deep and personal lyrics of death and depression. Definitely a must listen for emo fans!

    It's amazing how a band can go from indie/pop punk one minute and write a beautiful album full of self doubt and loss. Great way to start off the year

    Sorority Noise brings you an album that is battered and bruised. It’s lyrics push forward a contemplation on life, death, and the purpose of it all. Though that might seem cliche, it is anything but. It is a dark and tragic masterpiece that gives off the feeling that every ounce of energy and pain was left in the recording studio but there is an overarching sense of hope portrayedSorority Noise brings you an album that is battered and bruised.

It is a dark and tragic masterpiece that gives off the feeling that every ounce of energy and pain was left in the recording studio but there is an overarching sense of hope portrayed throughout the melodies. I am absolutely in love with it. Tracks that stand out are “A Portrait Of”, “A Better Sun”, and “Second Letter from St. Julien” .… Expand

    With a tangle of voices and viewpoints, both songs [“First Letter from St. Sean” and “A Better Sun”] write beyond Boucher’s near-exhaustive projections-of-self to see things from with a larger, more insightful point-of-view.

    It’s the kind of record that would be called “triumphant” if Boucher was in a position to enjoy any of it.

    You’re Not As ___ As You Think feels like the conclusion to something that was never started in the first place, it hasn’t earned any of the things it takes without asking, it’s a shallow pretender desperately fumbling in the deep end, and it’s an unfortunate development for a band that used to write dumb, fun songs about girls.
