James M. gave it a7:
As an album written at a time that is clearly traumatic and troubling for the band (Casey's death) it shows obvious influences but isn't sorry for itself and holds up strong in the genre. As always Woodruff has a beautiful delivery, and although the hooks aren't so large as previous albums this is a totally genuine collection of songs that feels intimate and delicate. HH have often stated that they aren't in the habit of changing their sound and fans will always know what they're getting so if you hate the "emo" tag then stay away but this is an excellent example of the genre and should make fans happy. Killer lyrics at times with some solid musicianship.
MIke H gave it a0:
Recycled, emo/scenester, naïve, parent-hating, rebellious garbage. For a style of music that prides itself in being "anti-pop" they sure do follow the formula. Four minute songs, false emotion, disgusting lyrics, and song arrangements that only the best producers can make. Take a hint Hawthorne Heights. If you want to be respected, write your own music and demand more control of how it sounds as a finished piece of music. Don't make products for teenage consumption -- it's a moot enterprise.
uh oh zombies gave it a1:
Generic, corporate "emo". Just another cash-in on a dying genre by a talentless band.
