Synopsis

Product Description

South Florida-based post-hardcore titans are back with their fifth studio album, rolling out a wide angle take on heavy music that's so fully realized in its boundary pushing, it makes it impossible to imagine the genre in any other way. The band works with non-traditional instrumentation, cinematic influences, and bigger-than-ever guitar and vocal melodies. Recorded with legendary producer Steve Evetts (Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Cure, Story Of The Year).

CD Reviews

Poison the Well does it again

Josh | Houston, TX USA | 07/08/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like another reviewer here, I've been a fan of Poison the Well for quite some time. What I never seem to understand is why people complain about how they've changed. Of course Poison the Well has changed since The Opposite of December. They have dug deep into their musical talents and more importantly, their lives. If you can hear the lyrics on this album, you will feel them as well. At this point, I've listened to this album more times in completion than I did when Versions first came out (and I love Versions). The other reviewer I've read probably heard a few songs before giving their honest opinion. The best way to describe the way this album flows is a mix between You Come Before You and Versions in the sense that The Tropic Rot brings the more raw emotion that Poison the Well brought with You Come Before You, and the more polished and musically pioneering sound of Versions."

Just keeps getting better and better

The Expanse | Atlanta, GA | 01/17/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"PTW was a slow grow for me. The first album I got by them was Versions...a noisy, static-filled, chaotic rock record that sounded like Hank Williams got kidnapped by The Refused and provided half the studio instrumentation. (And the record worked - very well - but that's not the record I'm reviewing now :)) This one is way easier to like on the first listen, and continues to develop, because of how strong the songs are. These guys make a fast punk beat sound so much heavier than any other band. They have a great ear for balancing the clean and screamed vocals to create dynamics within their pounding songs. They continue to push the envelope of hardcore, leaving all breakdowns and gimmicks behind and giving me hope that there's a future for the genre. (track to sample: "Antarctica Inside Me")"

Best album to date

Sneaky Pete | Colorado | 09/15/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Taking the intensity of "You come before You" and mixing it with the experimental dynamics of "Versions" equates to one of the best hardcore albums that has come out in a long time. This is a genuinely unique album that steps away from the traditional recipe of most heavy music to offer a true evolution. Poison the Well has absolutley nailed it on this release, a must own."
