This band is gonna be huge, and I have a feeling their gonna have a BIG next record. I'm hoping they ditch any shred of the Rise Records sound and diversify.

they pretty much already started changing their sound with the second full length, way different than the forst album

I love the idea--and I think it came out pretty good. Has anyone at Warped seen if they're selling this? (And for how much?)

i wish i was a bigger fan of kellin's voice so i could really get in to this. still like his voice but if i were a big fan of it i'd love this. quality release tho.

This is not very good.

Really like it. Very happy with the change of sound from the first full length to Lets Cheers To This

soooo gooood

In what sense do they have the "Rise Records Sound"?

They even said in their issue of Alternative Press that on their first album they were just trying to create the Rise Records sound. And it's VERY apparent. If you don't know what the Rise sound is, then you don't listen to a lot of the earlier rise albums. They all kind of sound the same, they have the same breakdowns, the same fake Joey Sturgis drums, sing a part - scream a part. Obviously Rise has diversified a lot in the last few years. But, for a while they were for screamo what Drive Thru was to pop punk back in the day.

Their second album is definitely a step in the right direction. I'm hoping they ditch the screaming all together and just write solid rock songs.

That was their first album (which although I love, I can completely understand where someone might find it generic). This however is their third release, and has absolutely no "Rise" sound to it (aside from some overproduction). Also, while their second album is most definitely the better of the two full lengths they have, I don't think they should ditch screams altogether. I believe a little "controlled chaos" is in order to have a truly great post-hardcore album. :)
