Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fourth studio album from the South Carolina quintet represents a return to their signature high-contrast dynamics after the experimental shift of their previous record. Produced by Aaron Sprinkle, the arrangements emphasize polished vocal counterpoint and complex rhythmic builds that define the 'scene' era of post-hardcore. It is widely considered a creative peak for the band, balancing aggressive screaming with sophisticated melodic rock structures.
