This album is very juvenile, simplistic and the least impressive in their discography.
That being said, this album shaped an entire genre and was ripped off for years to come. The sound to this album quickly became seen as generic, but that was simply because every other warped tour era band ripped off the sound until it became played to death.
No one could do it quite like the original though. No particular song in this album stands out from their discography, however the drum work is extremely memorable to this day. Paired with the production work of Joey Sturgis, the drumming on this album is absolutely phenomenal with some of the best writing and most memorable drum fills you will ever hear.
The guitar, when compared to the drumming, seems very simplistic. That doesn't take away from it at all though, as some of the riffs are super memorable. Even this bands greatest detractors would recognize them immediately.
Although the lyrics and some of the content didn't age well, It's a solid album that will survive the test of time because of its phenomenal production. It launched their very successful career and was extremely influential, and anyone who denies it's influence is simply wrong.
8/10

두바이에서 결성하여 Ben Bruce와 초창기 멤버들의 처음이자 마지막으로 발매한 첫 정규앨범으로 흔한 Metalcore 앨범을 만들어내는데, 굳이 언급할 필요가 없긴 해도, '밴드의 색깔이나, 사운드가 드러나질 않는 미완성 음반이다'라는 것만 알고만 넘어가기만 해도 좋을 것 같다. 그래도, 두 곡... Read More

As a fan of their older stuff and also their new stuff, I think this album is by far the best sound for them. Musically, this album sounds like the crossbreed between Slipknot and Motley Crue, and artistically, is Asking Alexandria at their peak.
This album has the most emotional intelligence of all of their discography and a lot of other albums in the same genre. Some of t... Read More

80년대 하드락과 메틀코어의 결합도 보임
보컬의 멜로디컬함을 느낄 수 있다. 세련미도 보이고
Joey Sturgis의 프로듀싱으로 사운드 퀄리티도 좋고
만족함..다만 기존 Fan들에겐 호불호의 앨범이될 수... Read More
