Full review
Possibly one of Converge's most well rounded albums. The opening track can be catagorised simply as trash/noise as it just starts with a hammering of guitars and screaming. Following this Fault And Fracture, Distance And Meaning, Homewrecker and The Broken Vow show us the main style of this album with Converge's unique style, and track 4 Hell to Pay in a slower style with an intriquet guitar beat and distorted echoey vocals from Jacob and then into a more muted scream with heavier distortion.
Bitter And Then Some gives us a really catchy guitar riff with a fast beat giving Converge its unique sound.
Another echoey slower song is Pheonix In Flight taking a long intro and working its way into more distorted melody followed by Pheonix in Flames which is just a drumbeat and Jacob screaming for another unique track. Then Thaw gives us a very aggresive guitar riff and hammering drums with Jacob screaming throughout, and reminds me kind of the music you got in old godzilla movies.
The last track, Jane Doe is a slower track with quite melodic guitar riffs and Jacobs screaming over the top and some melodic screaming like the music from ghost in the shell and sounds almost foreign too.
Either way this album is an overall example of the unique music Converge has to offer, and is a Converge must have. This album should not be judged by the 1st track and really should be the one to buy for people who've never heard converge and wish to listen to their style and in my opinion is an amazing overall album with the most poetic lyrics.
