Histrionics Repeats Itself All Over Again

[Garett Press]

I have posted a new review (http://www.absolutepunk.net/reviews/showproduct.php/product/742) of The Higher (http://www.thehigher.com/)- Histrionics. Please check it out. The album, released by Fiddler Records, is in stores now.

#3 is my favorite song off the album

very good review, I honestly love The Higher's album. Rock My Body is one of the catchiest songs I have heard this year. The rest of the CD is amazing as well. I would definitely recommend you listen to this if you have yet to hear it.

I would give it probably a 8.5/10...a little higher, no pun intended :animateds

[AreTwoKay]

very nice review man

[I ARE RAY]

nice review.. i really like this band!

[ceelove]

really good review.

[straythumb]

at a first glance i disagreed with the 7/10 and thought it should be higher, but the review really supported his decision. very respectable. great cd. buy it.

[finch425]

im gonna be honset. i really didnt like this album at all. i like the star is dea e.p. alot better. this is very weak sounding compared to the e.p.

[Ratherbedead22]

good album, good review. i pretty much agree with everything you said except for calling stay what you are and deja entendu masterpieces. i agree that they shouldnt compare the higher to these albums because they are much better. but callin the two aforementioned albums masterpieces is a little over the top. don't get me wrong, they are effing great albums, just i dont think its safe to call them masterpieces.

[SLADE775]

This album takes some getting used to. Histrionics (the song ) is a classic.

I WANT TO GET IT INTO YOU JARED! mmmmmm

[Ratherbedead22]

does anybody else wish histrionics was longer? cause 1:14 is not long enough. it could be made into an even better song.

idk i think the short length might be a reason why its so good. plus they basically sing it twice. they would have had to add to it. i personally love it how it is. just put it on repeat.

really good review indeed.. i agree with almost everything u said. this is such a nice album, one of my faves this year so far for sure. go buy histrionics now if u havent yet. the higher r so good.

It's just like Matchbook Romance's song 14 balloons. I think that is their best song and its just as short.

[shane hennessey]

at exactly one minute into "diaries" they use a guitar riff that TREOS used in shirtleves

[PaperclipAnemia]

i like this cd. nothing amazing, but its honest and catchy. I personally think it surpasses Fall Out Boy. It has a little more variance within the cd. Of course, this cd is surpassed by The Starting Line, which itself is surpassed by Days Away.

Go to Target and buy TSL. its 7 bucks. throw in a wild cherry pepsi and its 8

[DenverHarbor22]

Review is dead on. This is a great album. Finally a pop/punk band that doesn't pound power chords every song.

that song is cool and would have been hard as hell to expand because there isnt many places it could go

[Ryan Mills]

Nice review dude, although I have not heard this album yet.

[LifeIsDudes]

I really like this album. It sounds amazing. I just love the drum tones and the guitar work. I cant help but sing along to every song. I just feel like it doesnt flow that well. But the strong songs on it are worth paying for. I am so positive...

Excellent review Garrett!!! You took most of the words out of my mouth. I love this line:

"Either way, they may as well have strapped a Hershey’s chocolate bar to the CD, because the title track is really a sweet treat, centered around Seth Trotter’s singing."

haha that made me laugh.....

P.S. I love you ;)

[WSUskee]

Great review and I agree its about a 7 maybe a little bit Higher I couldnt think of another word to use but you get the point. I wish I could write reviews that good.
