"I love this cd! at first listen I liked it fairly well, but now it is one of my favorite cds, and I just cannot take it out of my cd player. Hawthorne Heights deals with heartbreak, and anyone who can relate will love this cd.

my favorite songs are "who We are," "Language Lessons," "Dead In The Water" and "where Can I Stab Myself In the Ears." All the other songs are great too. The only song that I didn't really care for was "decembers." It was just okay.

I recommend this album to anyone who loves emo/screamo music or has a broken heart. And to everyone who says Hawthorne Heights sucks, go phunk yourselves, because that just means that you have no appreciation for good music.

Anyway, go buy this cd, cause it rocks! (oh, and cd version A is exactly the same, except that it has a different cover on it. This one has the girl, that one has the guy.)"

This album is for all HH Fans!

"Wow, if you liked The Silence in Black and White, you will love this. These guys have gained so much more musicianship. Disregard anything you might read in other reviews: there are only 2 songs that sound quite similar.



They use the screaming in a creative way this time. In their freshman album, most of the screaming was ok to have, but it was unnecessary. This time, it is placed and done very well and adds to the song nicely.



Guitar riffs have grown much stronger. There are a lot of picking/palm muting mixes right next to each other.



The last song sounds like it has a little bit of sventies rock influence. They broke the rules! Finally a trendy, heavy band knows they're actually allowed to borrow from another genre.



The only beef I have is that the Version A/Version B thing is a pretty lame marketing ploy that will probably disappoint them in the end. I thought it was great when they re-release The SIB&W with EIGHT extra tracks and a DVD with SEVENTEEN chapters (That was actually worth watching) for the same price (rather than a rediculously higher price), but who's gonna buy 2 copies of one cd to follow an entirely staged story?



With the progression of this band and their talent, this CD deserves five stars. Pick it up if you have ANY liking to this band."

A jump forward.

"The sound of this album is really different from "Silence in Black and White". I cant decide whether the change is good or not, there last CD wasnt awesome but they kind of had there own sound. With this album they sound a bit more mainstream, but that can be good. I think its a breakthrough for Hawthrone Heights, especially track 10 (Cross me off your list). I also suggest that anyone that didnt like "Silence in Black and White" should give them another chance with this Cd, since there sound has changed so much from the last CD. In the end its a great CD, just wish it had a little more heart to it, songs like "December" and "Cross me off your list" are definally worth the price of the CD though."
