Haven't to it yet but I just can bring myself to love these guys. I bought both of their prior releases based on the good things I had heard about them but for some reason none of the songs really stick with me. I hate to rehash what's been said but they really do sound like another August Burns Red. ABR is one of those bands where they fill the void perfectly for their type of music so having a "ABR lite" just doesn't do anything for me.

I will. They have the chops for sure I just haven't heard anything that I've loved. However, ABR has been the same band since 2006 and despite having 3 different vocalists I think it was their current that made them who they are and become popular. But the actual band has been the same since 2003 (minus a bass player change in 2006).
