Back to blogging.

So after quite a hiatus I'm back. I would first like to explain my style of reviewing music. Since this is a blog, I feel like this is more of a venue for expression, than objectiveness. My music reviews, abstract as they are, come straight from the heart, and really represent what I take away from the album not anything concretely objective. I do hope you enjoy, and aren't too taken aback. I know coming straight outa my head can cause quite severe whiplash.

A Day To Remember - What Separates Me From You

So after a brief hiatus I thought it was perfectly appropriate that my I begin blogging again with a review of A Day To Remember's newest album "What Separates Me From You" (2010)

Over the year's we've watched as ADTR has progressed from a simple fuzzled hardcore/screamo outfit to something un-believably evolved - a mix between New Found Glory and something like Four Year's Strong. After their junior album "Homesick" we saw a more mature side of ADTR. So where does leave us with "What Separates Me From You"? Well really nowhere. ADTR has gone through some serious evolution over the past few years, but really I don't see much movement forward with this newest album. This is not necessarily a bad thing however, "Homesick" leaves us begging for more and "What Separates Me From You" delivers. To be sure there really aren't any songs at the level of "Downfall Of Us All" (with the exception perhaps of "All Signs Point To Landerdale"), however the songs on the album are first-rate.

In summary ADTR's much anticipated senior album "What Separates Me From You" is not much of a step forward, but it delivers. My three favorite songs from the album are:

1. "All Signs Point To Landerdale"
2. "Sticks & Bricks"
3. "It's Complicated"

I would definitely recommend this album to anyone who was left craving for more of "Homesick" and any fan of hardcore or punk.
