The title track of the cd "Crisis" follows on from the last song and is fast paced. This song heavily features the harsher vocals of Pettit thus building up to the melodic chorus delivered by Dallas. Another great song, the songs tend to get better as the cd goes on.

Advantages: Perfect mix of melodic and harsh vocals, great lyrics, great musically Disadvantages: None
After the quality of the previous alexisonfire cd (Watch Out), the band had high expectations to deliver to. With this new cd they have delivered to those expectations and then some. Since the last cd they have changed their sound slightly, Dallas Green's melodic vocals seem to have been brought more into their sound now, with the more harsher vocals of George Pettit going down in the mix a bit. This will provide a welcome change for any fans of ... ...A lot of this cd has a somewhat fast tempo, with the band going more mellow/slow on "You Burn First" and "Rough Hands". The cd opens with "Drunks, Lovers & Saints" which is a high energy and upbeat song, and begins with the harsh vocals of Pettit before going in Green's vocals.

Advantages: Powerful beats mixed perfectly with soaring melodies. Amazing! Disadvantages: Not for the faint hearted!
Alexisonfire have brought out another astonishing album. The maturity and development from their previous album "Watch Out" is clear. Personally, i was gripped from the first song, where Wade MacNeil claims "This is from our hearts!" The emotion is obvious and powerful. George Pettit's harsh voice blends perfectly with Dallas Green's amazing melodic lyrics makign this album the best I've heard for a long time. The Ontario band are down to earth and ... ...This album will force listeners to sing along and have the tune in their head for weeks. If there was a criticism, it may be that the song "You burn first," breaks up the album and dampens the tone. However, it is still an amazing album, and highly recommended to anyone who loves a wide range of music. Perfect for listeners of Emo, Screamo, Punk, Rock, and pretty much everything! ...

...Alexisonfire (AOF) are a five-piece post-hardcore band, first formed in St Catharines, Ontario, Canada in 2001. They're a rhythmic fusion, of soft melodic vocals, powerful and masterful screaming, well-tuned stirring Guitar riffs and co-ordinated drums. To bring togther this one-off, amazing band.
