Great Armor For Sleep
"
I was mildly bored by the first song, but everything else has that great armor for sleep sound. This CD is almost as awesome as "what to do when you're dead. Definitely worth the $4 you can get it for on
Amazon.


Doesnt live up to the single
It was a great song and had a really new sound to it, so I picked up the album to see how the rest of it would be. I bought this cd after hearing "hold the door" on the radio. . . I was dissapointed. The rest of the album is so cliche, songs about reality tv stars (about 5 years too late guys) and a sound that wasnt nearly as new or enlightened as what I heard on hold the door. My suggestion would be to just by the mp3 and leave the rest of the songs be.


5 Stars For Them
One thing that I like about this band [there are many things to like. I am a fan. . . . ] is that they have a unique sound all their own, always have. Yes, the songs are deep, for some too much so, intense, sure but well crafted, not too over produced. Raw yet polished. The vocals up front, the message delivered. Punchy, solid bass and drums, great guitar tones. I am a fan of Ben's voice, again, very unique. There are so many bands right now that kind of sound "the same". . . . it's getting tiring. . . . Not Armor, by any means.
The "Williamsburg" video is something I recently saw on TV, I guess it is turning some heads - it's a great song. . . all the songs on this disc are really well done. GET IT!!! Check them out when they come to town. .


A new direction for Armor For Sleep
Don't get me wrong, their last album was a solid hard rocking emo effort but let's face it, it was hardly original. The first time I heard the song Williamsburg, I was completely hooked on AFS. Smile for Them ups the melody, sometimes at the expense of overall heaviness their last two albums offered, but it works here. All I heard before getting this album was how unlike What to do when you are dead it is, but that's a good thing. Unless you're Blink 182, in the music industry repetition isn't always welcome. Smile For Them is the type of album that can separate Armor For Sleep from the rest of the "emo" scene much like My Chemical Romance did with the Black Parade, Paramore with Riot and Taking Back Sunday with Louder Now. I think a listener will appreciate this cd more if they keep an open mind and resist the urge to compare it to previous AFS releases. This album belongs in a category all by itself.


What caught my eye!
I hadn't heard of Armor for Sleep before but a cousin of mine mentioned them and the name stood in my head. so when I previewed this cd I automatically fell for the music. Smile for the camera is a great song. I purchased this cd and haven't been disappointed with it as of yet. I believe everyone has different tastes in music so this might not be for some people but I love Armor for Sleep. . they have a sound that I am very attracted to. I have to go back and get their older albums now!!! If you buy this cd I believe you won't regret it!!.
