SkylinesI’m not even going to bother wasting your time with trying to start this review off with some positives, only to string you along until the end and just rip this album apart. This is straight dookie, in the stinkiest form. Although this band is from Richmond, Virginia, who has been on the come up as of late but this is some of the worst trendy metalcore nonsense I’ve heard in awhile. Thank god they didn’t try to pull off the clean singing/scream shit or I would’ve flipped my lid. I mean how can you name your first full length Identity and include all these press clips about how unique and original this is? This is pretty much the same shit all the fruits with girls pants and 50 dollar hair cuts have been listening to for the last 3 years. This shit sounds like Every Time I Die and Eighteen Visions got drunk with Scarlet and made sloppy man love. I mean the lyrics are the same trite shit, the vocals have no depth to them and become monotonous as shit. The riffs, while not repetitive deliver nothing that I haven’t heard before, same old melodic metalcore shit that is trying to be passed off as hardcore. And the layout sure as hell isn’t anything to write home about, plain and cliche. Maybe my words are little hard, but I mean come on if you’re going to be playing this shit DO NOT go around under the assumption what you’re doing is groundbreaking and original. I don’t know Blood and Ink really needs to step it up because the last thing they put out that was worth purchasing in the last year was Ten 33 and 2 years before that was Nourish The Flame.
