Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed from the ashes of legendary post-hardcore bands like Quicksand and Gorilla Biscuits, Walter Schreifels led this supergroup toward a highly accessible, melodic alternative rock sound. The album is packed with tightly coiled, energetic riffs and massive choruses, becoming a major touchstone for the early 2000s emo-rock explosion.
