Reviewed on 4/10/2024...
I definitely found this band wayyy later than the other reviews on here, but this album is my absolute favorite out of all their albums. All the songs are packed full of intense and melodic bass chords, guitar solos and riffs, and a hypnotizing drum that all amplify the lead vocalist Vic Fuentes even further than his own voice, which is pretty wide ranged for someone who sings in a typically higher octave than your average guy. The album the way I interpreted it is over a series of misfortunes and intense romantic encounters with one or more lovers (likely just one over the course of the album really, but the narrator and the supposed lover's relationship is crazy and wild, using the topics and emotions that come with falling in love, depression, self harm, suicide, fame, money, substance use, and such) and how the fame of one or both people causes them to go over how much their relationship really worth when it comes to the cost of the well being of one or both people. and while the topics are on its own serious, the song writing (which is not very rhyme based per stanza but rather in a story telling format that occasionally rhymes words, but rather rhymes the topics and consequences of actions or thoughts together as the song goes on more often, which I think is really cool).
I may be wrong about one thing but I'm pretty sure the CD has a bonus track(s) addition where you can digitally download the album and listen to a couple of their demos/bonus tracks

My favorite songs are The Cheap Bouquet, Currents Convulsive, Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides, Diamonds and Why Men Buy Them, and of course Wonderless. This band and this album in particular is astounding and I cannot stress enough how incredibly impactful and emotive the album is to me and hopefully to others who listen to the CD!

Before today was good.......this is better

"it's surprising i had only really heard this band about 3 weeks ago because the singer and drummer are the brothers who were in the band before today....a band that i liked alot and disappeared. they came back as pierce the veil and my first time hearing them was when they opened for a day to remember a few weeks ago and i put the 2 together because of the voice.

trust me....the guys voice is enough to listen to the cd before. if you listened to before today, then you know how he sounds. if you've never heard before today, the best way i can describe the vocals is (and this is going to sound funny, but his voice is great) chiodos meets the chipmunks.

the music is kind of in the style of the fall of troy, but not all spastic and crazy. it's good.

pierce the veil is a band that you can't put a label on and say "oh it sounds just like" and throw in a band, because they draw influences and have parts that sound like one band, but parts that sound like another.

the best songs on the cd are "chemical kids and mechanical brides", "currents convulsive", "the balcony scene", and "wonderless". definitely a great first release from this band.

"This is definitely an album to buy. The vocals are amazing, and the lyrics too. My favorite song has to be "The Balcony Scene" or "Wonderless." The show is also a must to add to your to do list. Be sure to check them out with Chiodos."
