Negative Positive
Title: brilliant and hard
Review: lots of good build-ups on this album, which usually end with a good bit of screaming and some painfully loud guitar work; this is a good album to listen to when you are to the point where you are so emotional that you get angry, because this seems to be the place that the music for this album was written from. the lyrics are very different, however, sensitive and probing, especially on parking lot. you almost get the feeling that they are trying to hide the lyrics on this album, but on the later recording and with the gloria record, they mature to the point where they are ready to expose the lyrics more. even though these later efforts are more polished and lyrically oriented, the power of failing is still a must-buy; no matter how much you like the quiter side of emo, you still need some albums like this that you can play when you aren't in the mood to deal with the subdued nature of the majority of emo.
