This is a really good Cd by It Dies Today, they are one of the best in the metalcore scene, I would give this a 5 star, but 3 or 4 songs are just too heavy, It Dies Today make some seriously awesome tracks like "a threnody for modern romance" "The radiance" "Severed ties..." "Marigold" but the other tracks are just too much. Those tracks start out heavy but not too much, the singer is screaming his lungs out, it's allright, but then the whole band slows the tempo by a half and the screaming increases and that's when most people will stop listening. Now don't get me wrong this is a great cd but i just think it dies today should make more singing tracks.
