"Maybe this one was a little disapointing to me because I seen all the 5 stars and I was probably expecting more of the same...but that wasn't the case... Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it was a bad album... but it just wasn't anything special here... the clean vocals sounded whiny.. and wimpy... and just annoyed me at times... I would of given this album 3 and a half stars if i give half stars... because it isn't that bad...but not worthy of 4...."
A beautiful hardcore album

"scars of tomorrow can be picked out from alot of the other hardcore/metalcore/emocore,whatever type bands,because they have a sound unique to their own.they use alot of melodic overtones on guitar.and throw breakdowns in at unexpected times.the singer uses his voice,yes his voice,not just his throat.his screams are very original and his voice is clean and goes with the music.each song is easy to differentiate,not blending into one another like most hardcore songs.the durmwork is phenomenal,he doesnt let up the whole cd.these guys have really mastered the craft of creating this kind of music,and put their peers to shame.my new favorite band of hardcore.outstanding work.be sure to catch them on tour with atreyu,and believe me i wish i could.for fans of atreyu,unearth,and poison the well."
I love rhis album

"I first heard of them on garageband.com. the song i heard from them i really did not like. then when they released rope tied to the trigger, i heard "Abandonment" and i fell in love with it; i had to buy the cd.After i heard it, it never left my cd player for 2 weeks. these guys have talent and i hope they put out some great stuff in the future."
This cd can sing you to sleep while it tears your soul out

"Scars of Tomorrow have created 11 tracks of hardcore beauty. There is not one weak song on this entire album. The standout tracks on this album are "suffocating words" and "reflections". The songs were written and played perfectly and the lyrics are outstanding. If you like band such as Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, All that Remains, Atreyu or hardcore music at all, pick up "rope tied to the trigger", it will not dissappoint!"

"This is one of the best releases in the genre. These guys do it as good or better than anyone else in the metal world right now. You have great songwriting, and thats what sets them apart from most of the crowd.
There is definitely a trend here. No one can deny that if you have a Killswitch album album you're likely to dig unearth. The list goes on and on, but whats wrong with that as long as there is some origninality in the song writing. As long as I don't think I'm hearing a specific metallica riff, or lyrics almost exactly like pantera I'm alright. And I coudn't pin down any particular song with these guys.
So if you're not jaded on metal core hardcore whatever other label people come up with, then check this album out because its a legitimate part of good heavy metal"
