This is a really good review and i think its more than fair to say that FFAF are better off not screaming.

I agree.

its funny i was just listening to this record, living in england all my life then moving to america a few months ago, im trying to get people here into these guys, enter, yma6, funny how huge a band can be in the uk and how small they can be in the us.

Yeah. FFAF is one of my favorite bands and they haven't disappointed me with any release. One of my favorite songs in all of music is Roses For The Dead. That song is great, the lyrics tug at your heart and the ending builds up and sometimes almost makes me shed a little tear, mainly due to the lyrical content and it's delivery

i think alvarez is the best song on this album... the intro riff feels like it kicks me in the teeth, but its so enjoyable... i love this album

EXACTLY. I'm a huge FFAF fan, and Alvarez is one of my favorite songs by them, as well as off Hours. I don't know why it's never played or talked about, I think it's great.

lostprophets would be another example of huge in the uk, not so much in us. shame really!

History is such a beautiful song.

And unfortunately it's the only song I know by FFAF. I want to check out this album now - thanks for the review

Am I the only who feels this review is strangely out of place since they just dropped a new album...not to mention the other album that was between Hours and the new one (Memory and Humanity).


Also...opinions coming: The new album is a pretty solid EP, but unfortunately a mediocre album. With their progression, so to speak, that they explored on "Tales..." they really began to drop off what it was that I had come to love from FFAF. I didn't hate the album, but it was less often what I would reach for when I wanted a disc for the road. With Memory and Humanity, they show hints at the old energy they once had, but never truly hit their stride throughout most of the disc's running time.


Just some thoughts on FFAF.

the RIYL is laughable. but the review is alright.

PeeDster is right, this can no way be compared to Louder Now Or Deja Entendu.

Both are far too different...

I loved this release, possibly the best out of everything FFAF has ever done. Glad someone else appreciates it just as much.

I know the timing is way off ( and really late) i was just looking at reviews one day and i couldn't believe it wasn't reviewed. so i decided to do it myself haha

I know. I had some serious RIYL block, what do you think would have worked?
