"As is the case in many rough scenarios, finding a replacement for your best singer in a band can be tasking. You would think it'd be difficult for a band like Bury Your Dead after Mat Bruso left. Not only does current frontman Myke Terry do the job well, but he adds his own style, even incorporating clean singing into the mix rather than keeping it hardcore through and through. Not saying that Mat wasn't good, Beauty And The Breakdown for me was the best the band had to offer. They once again worked with producer Jason Suecof (Trivium, Chimaira, DevilDriver, God Forbid) to create something that not only embodied the Bury Your Dead sound, but also had surprising elements. Like I said, you get to hear some clean singing here and there, plus Mark Tremonti from Alter Bridge lends a guitar solo to the track Year One, which is a first for the band (having guitar solos, I mean). The album is also the first since You Had Me At Hello to not follow any themes (Cover Your Tracks featured songs named after Tom Cruise films, and Beauty And The Breakdown featured songs named from fairy tales). This isn't Beauty And The Breakdown pt.II...but do I think it's better? I like to think they're on par as equally good albums, it's hard to choose the better of the two. You would just have to check for yourself."

Well,okay

"Since matt left i tought this band was not gonna release any good stuff anymore.But this album sounds pretty good the music is good but im still not sure about the new singer i mean it looks in someway that his forcing his voice to sound hard,he kind of sounds like matt but matt is much better to me he just keeps it hardcore.Yeah and the new singer sings in clean vocals too i think he should just keep the screaming(if he can)is much better for a band like bury your dead.I listen more to their other stuff than this one though,i haven't listen to this one that much mostly just the first song.If you like bury your dead i say you should check this one out but i gotta say that i really don't like the new singer he sucks.But anyway check it out for the music but Beauty and the breakdown is much better than this,is the best they will ever put out.3/6 stars,oh and the cover is frickin cool."
