Album Review

Nashville, TN-based post-grunge/emo/alternative outfit Framing Hanley’s sophomore effort is a less metallic beast than 2008’s The Moment, but what Promise to Burn lacks in speed it more than makes up for in melodic angst. Anthemic and mostly miserable, the album sports its fair share of open highway, “nobody understands me/can’t we make this work” pity jams, but when they are as catchy and streamlined as “War Zone,” “You Stupid Girl,” and “Back to Go Again,” it’s easy to forget you're listening to some dude read from his tenth grade diary.

Customer Reviews

Not as good as their first

I don't know. I'm just not digging it as much as 'The Moment.' It seems more mushy mushy to me. I miss the rock feeling that 'The Moment' started.

Not as good as their first...

Their first album was WAY better. It had more rock to it. This is just really soft and mushy. Deffinatly not impressed

3 stars is being generous

I was really impressed with their first album, some of their songs have become a few of my favorites. This 2nd album is...worth a listen. Maybe a 2nd listen...but it won't be the most played in your playlist or be that CD to never leave your player. Stupid Girl is by far the best song on here, which is always disappointing when the pre-released song is the only one you love. Bittersweet Sundown and Warzone are both ok, but other than that the entire CD departs from Framing Hanley's rock style and turns VERY poppy, mushy, emotional, and quite honestly, bad. Some catchy parts and lyrics here and there, but overall this album was a HUGE letdown from Framing Hanley. Again, not enough to deter me from following and supporting the band....but most of these songs won't break into double digits in the "play count" column.
