Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sophomore album from the Ohio band was a major commercial breakthrough and a defining record of the mid-2000s emo explosion. Known for its signature blend of clean melodic vocals and intense screaming, the album explores themes of heartbreak and loneliness, resonating deeply with its target audience. It was the final album to feature rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Casey Calvert before his death in 2007.
