Album Notes & Community Reviews

Characterized by the stunning, soaring vocal acrobatics of original singer Anthony Green, this release is widely considered a foundational blueprint for 2000s post-hardcore. The band seamlessly integrates complex, rapid-fire guitar harmonics with massive, heavily produced emo-pop choruses, setting an immediate standard for the genre. Despite Green's swift departure from the group shortly after, the EP achieved legendary cult status within the alternative scene.
