Album Review

The sophomore effort from Dead Poetic finds this Ohio-based band moving out of the hardcore ghetto, expanding its sound to include a bit more melody, a bit more subtlety, and one more member (guitarist Todd Osborn). That's not to say that there isn't plenty of screaming, naturally, but the screaming is starting to sound a bit like a sop to the kids rather than an integral part of the music-making. By next album, even money says it's going to be the heavyweight melodic rock & roll of songs like "Dream" and the shockingly perfect "Glass in the Trees" that carries the day. "Vanus Empty" offers unusually interesting lyrics ("So vanity's got this new gun that she wants to try on you"); "Hostages" is a jumpy sort of emocore rave-up, while "Modern Morbid Prophecies" lopes along at midtempo and offers only moderately coherent lyrics. Then there's the hidden track, an overlong instrumental consisting of lots and lots of guitar arpeggios. Pretty good overall, but if their learning curve continues at the present slope their next one will be substantially better.

aweswome

Pretty awesome song tracks not well known but great listening

great

This alblum is one of the few alblums where every song is a joy to listen to...if you like this kind of music that is

Yep, probably their best...

When I was a little runt, I definitely fell in love with what this band was trying to realize on their first album. This second album definitely accomplished a much fuller, better produced, well-written, and even more emotionally captivating effort.

Then the corporate piece of junk third album came out and I lost interest after that. And it's fitting because that's when they knew to stop.
