Title: their best work since "diary".
Review: wow. "the rising tide" sounds like a mix between "diary" and "how it feels...". there are plenty of guitar driven, distortion filled tracks like "killed by an angel" and "one". also, their are achingly beautiful 'acoustic ballads' like "the ocean". and, much like the "how it feels..." record, this is tinged with middle-eastern flavored tracks. dan has proven his prwess on the guitar. jeremy, playing guitar, bass, and sining on this record demonstrates his versatality as a musician. his bass lines are not as complex or involved as nate's are/were, but they are very good, nonetheless. this record has once again proven that jeremy, william, and dan can play their instruments well and right a great tune as well. highly recommended.
