Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Ross Robinson, the debut album from this Long Island ensemble became a cornerstone of the early 2000s post-hardcore movement. 'Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence' is defined by Daryl Palumbo's frantic, high-register vocals and the band's blend of melodic sensitivity with heavy, erratic metal riffs. The record's confrontational lyrics deal extensively with themes of physical illness and personal betrayal, delivered with a visceral intensity that influenced a generation of alternative heavy music.
