this is one of the better metalcore albums in recent memory (probably since hot damn), but the 96% makes my brain hurt

Giving the vocals anything more than a 5 makes my brain hurt.

You know, it's kind of bad when the most enjoyable part on this album is the singing vocals by Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy. But the clean break on 'The Failsafe' is killer. Once again, I can't stand the vocals and the songs kind of sound a little to similar throughout, but their fine musicians and the guitar/drum work is pretty top notch.

Either way, my full opinion: http://punknews.org/review/5564

P.S.

For all the Jesse haters, listen to the original demos. The vocal work is purely amazing. It's not as good on the final product, mainly cause the production slightly botches it, but he's still one of the memorable metalcore vocalists.
