album:
With Christmas time upon us and being back home, I thought it would be fitting to talk about this masterpiece. With the snow begining to fall everyday, the night upon us for most of our waking hours and, most of us coming back home; I think this album perfectly fits the vibe. Especially for canadian winters there is no better album (from what I have heard) that captures the special qualities and sadness of this time. This record hits close to home for me, and I'm sure a lot of others that are fans of this band. The cold loneliness that envelopes winter juxtaposed with Christmas time were thoughts of other people, people that were in our lives, people that you used to see every day, people that are slowly leaving your life, people curretly in your life, and those that have stuck around. This album at least for me hits all the emotions and melancholy that come with the previously describe thoughts. Every cut on this record is great and really creates an enveloping atmosphere. This is a landmark album in emo, blending emo and post-rock so well it can't be described with out the other. The recommended cut makes you feel lost in a cold dark forest of evergreens, the song builds and builds and then cuts off with the cold yells of "coward", and it's just so chilling in a good way (if that makes any sense). Lots of other tracks feature great vocals and lyrics as well as frosty/snow covered atmospheres and its amazing. I thourougly suggest this album, even to newcomers as this was my entry point into realizing the beauty and emotions these types of records contain (perfect time too; an essential autumn/winter album).
