 There's nothing inherently bad about the music and the band actually comes off as way more likable than initial, superficial opinions may have suggested.The drums propel everything along fiercely as the vocals switch up from quasi-singing to grueling shrieking and requisite heavy breakdowns are thrown in when necessary; the production is also not overly slick, allowing the band's relative grit to shine through.Overall, it's a competent take on post-hardcore that comes in, does its thing, and leaves without really adding much along the way — there's just something missing in Meaning in the Static that ultimately makes it a decent but frustrating record.
