one word....wow.

Review Score: (10/10)
After listening to ATASF, VPOY, and SYMAOYE, this album comes at you like a ton of bricks. If Davey's voice weren't so recognizable to his legions of fans, nobody would have believed it was them. This is literally worlds apart from the first 3 albums, and they haven't looked back. The first 3 are important albums, and they are good, but this, as well as AOD and STS are special. Davey Havok proved that not only does he have one of the BEST voices out there, but he's also proved that he can write the most hauntinly beautiful lyrics of anyone EVER. And acquiring Hunter and Jade proved to be the best moves that Adam and Davey could possibly have made. These 4 guys were BORN to play in a band together. Fantastic album, every single track on here shines. I can't think of a single one that I don't like.
