Watch Out!

Solid

I submitted this album, so I should probably have a mini book typed up on why I like it, right??? I’ll try and do a short version. The intro to this record is incredible. The intro guitar riff gets me every time. And then those drums, that drum beat, even throughout the song, is incredible. George’s scream vocals, wow, WOW. Then when Dallas comes in???? Fuck me up man. GANG VOCALS???!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS. *ahem* sorry, got excited. But that’s basically how I feel about this entire record. The guitar riffs throughout are incredible. The drums are amazing. Even some of the baselines are incredible. George and Dallas going back and forth from screaming to singing, and the mix. The overall soundscape of this record is just so neat to me. No other band really sounds like this. If they do then let me know lol. And then that final song, Happiness By The Kilowatt???? *chefs kiss* even when Dallas plays it solo under City & Colour it’s an unbelievable song.

Noise, acceleration, loud voices...I know that's what the genre is like, but it's not something you'll enjoy if it's not exactly what you're looking for. The musicians with their instruments, however, are great.

5/10. Yelly screamy, couldn't be me

Nice rock-screamo like. Fine listening

Retrospect is easy with a crew like Alexisonfire, but this second album, consistent in gimmick, easily avoids the flash-in-a-pan label. Each track a justified variation on the multivocal multivolume setup, the LP doesn't really do anything with the softer emotional material within. Get it out there for joy and music and catharsis: Fair enough.

At the beginning I was thinking a 2, but some of the less hard-core tracks showed up and I was having more fun with those.

I like some hardcore where the screaming isn't too dominant. But the music here was lacking some power

Wauw, it's been a while since I heared some good ol' fashioned emocore. Sounded really good to my ears!

Musically I can appreciate the energy and drive this band manages to create. But these screaming vocals are just aweful. I know of several other bands that work according to this M.O. and they all annoy me tremendously. There is literally never a moment I would want to listen to this.

A fun hard rocking romp to get the energy going on a Monday morning

Wooooooow A band I have not thought about in probably 15 years. There was a minute where I was ALL in on City and Colour. Saw him perform at the Fox Theater in Detroit and he did a whole mini Alexisonfire set in the middle. It blew my mind! Thanks for the walk down memory lane. This album still absolutely rips.

I would find this far more impressive if it was from 1994. I would totally shit my pants if this was from 1984. I would question reality itself if this was from 1974. But being from 2004 it's just kinda there.

I cringe a little when I spot the "screamo" tag but this kept a decent balance, seemed like just solid hard-core to me.
