After The Burial - Wolves Within

Was really blown away by this album! love it!

Better then In Dreams but not near Rareform. I was still impressed.

Just listened to it and thought it was pretty meh. That may or may not be due my prejudice against metalcore.

A great album though marred sometimes by stale musicianship, as on the latter half of 'Disconnect' and somewhat self-indulgent 'Neo Seoul'. That said, there's plenty of good to outshine the bad here, as on the beautiful intros of 'Disconnect' and 'Virga', not to mention the surprising amount of melody throughout the album in general.

One LARGE downside is the mixing, it's terrible. I don't know who they got to do it, but they should never contact that person ever again. Very disappointed with the final mix.

I did give it an 8 still and that's because the songs themselves really deliver, I absolutely love this album in that aspect. They did a killer job of writing the music, but they totally shit the bed on finding a adequate producer. Better luck next time, boys!
