Album Review

From the chaotic opener "And the Hero Will Drown," until the complete frenzy of "Falling Down," St. Louis' Story of the Year shows a persistent flare for the dramatic on their debut disc from Maverick Records. Taking influence from a variety of modern rock, the quintet delivers a solid, Dashboard Confessional-like spirited first effort from beginning to end. They slow down on crunchy ballads like "Anthem of Our Dying Day," "Swallow the Knife," and "Sidewalks," showing that Story of the Year can be graceful and melodic as well as relentless. Energetic outbursts like "In the Shadows," "Razorblades," and the title track "Page Avenue" shows a band hell-bent on composing youthful anthems for the 21st century, hitting their target more often than not. Produced by John Feldman of Goldfinger, Dan Marsala's unyielding vocals certainly highlight the disc, along with the band's steady and layered instrumentation. The band's energy feeds off of agitation and frustration, and while they don't really offer anything new, their solid execution of the 12 songs on Page Avenue certainly impresses.

Customer Reviews

An Awsome Debut
     

Story of the Year hits hard with their debut album, Page Avenue. This is a good album for anyone who's into the softer side (don't get me wrong, it's still hard) of hardcore music. There's hard, fast paced songs, and even the lighter, slower stuff. In my opinion, "Divide and Conquer" and "Sidewalks" are the best songs on the CD. "Divide and Conquer" is one of the harder songs on the CD and is good for just rocking out, while "Sidewalks" is one of the slower, mellower songs that's something you can just relax to. Overall, this CD is awsome, and is one of my favorites, so check it out. Hopefully you won't be dissappointed.

Go Story of the Year

Biography

Formed: 1995 in St. Louis, MO

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '90s, '00s

Story of the Year took root in the late '90s under a different name, Big Blue Monkey, in St. Louis, MO. At the time of its inception, the band's sound was much heavier (think Deftones), and the lineup that would become Story of the Year was not yet in place. Big Blue Monkey played frequent shows in the St. Louis area, issued several EPs, and endured the lineup fluctuations typical to any struggling combo. Creative and persistent self-promotion caught the ear of producer John Feldmann, who in turn...
