Greatest Band Ever!!!!!!
Vocals are amazing, just the right amount of feeling. Hands down the best band to come out of Drive-Thru Records ever. One of the few cds you can put in and let it play over and over and not skip a track, EVERY SONG IS GOOD. If you have not heard this cd you are missing out.


Not so bad after a few listens


The first song on the disc, "New Beginnings", was pretty good. When I first popped in the CD after many recommendations, (I normally don't buy cd's with artist's I'm unfamiliar with), I was a little underwhelmed. A creative and interesting chorus with a somewhat repetitive riff and pounding bass that kept my attention. "So far so good" were my thoughts before heading to the rest of the album. "Post Script", and especially "Grey Matter" have weak melodies leaving nothing memorable for me to hold on to.

The song "Perfection Through Silence" made the album for me. It starts off with a pounding riff that doesn't just give you a taste, but a whole thirty seconds worth before heading into the rest of the song, (I believe every song with a great riff should have this). Creative lyrics and an inspired chorus left me repeating the song about 5 times before jumping to the following tracks.

Unfortunately the strongest song is right before the weakest, entitled "Awake". The guitar and vocal melodies are annoying and aggravating - everything but pleasant listening.

Skip.

The rest of the songs are okay but not great - forgettable, weird and tiresome.
You might be confused by the high rating; "you dislike most of the songs? 4 stars?". The last two "Ender", and the bonustrack, "What it is to Burn" have great melodies, powerful vocals, and creative sounds throughout. They are truly incredible and atmospheric tracks that are just as good as in "Perfection Through Silence".

The album has a lot of misses, but a few strong tracks give incentive for repeated listenings. .


Finch's Best CD
Their other CD "Say Hello to Sunshine" is deffinately not their best. If you have never heard Finch before, then this is the CD you should listen to. "What It Is To Burn" has a lot more talent than their new CD. Don't Say Hello to Sunshine, Say Hello to What It Is To Burn. This cd may have a lot of songs that sound alike but after your 2nd or 3rd time listening to it, you'll realize that they're all different and they're all amazing. Their best track on this CD is "Ender" and "What It Is To Burn". My least favorite is "Project Mayhem", only because it's repetitive. It sounds the same throughout the whole song, and it just flat out isn't good. But besides that song, the whole CD is great. You should buy it. And as for the other CD "Say Hello To Sunshine", all I'm going to say is that it's deffinately not as good as this CD. So you should get this one. .


One of the best albums of all time
It has everything one would want from an album. Simply stated, this album is a masterpiece. It has great songwriting, great music, great lyrics, and most of all great emotion. This album will evoke emotions, probably nostalgic ones, but emotions none the less.

The album is mostly about the singer and his realationships. He covers all aspects of what it's like to be in love and to suffer love lost. All but one song is great. I could live without Project Mayhem. It just doesn't fit on this album. Minus this song, the albumn is one you will listen to to death. You will get sick of it from playing it so much.

The best thing about the album is that it's by a relatively undiscovered band, Finch. You will be able to introduce your friends to greatness, and they will forever revere your musical recommendations.

My favorite songs are 1) Perfection Through Silence 2) Stay With Me 3) New Beginnings and 4) Ender.

I hope you get this album. It will quickly climb to the top of your list and will stay in your CD player for months on end.


Finch at there best!!
If you like Nirvana,Weezer,Deftones you will love finch as they could be considerd the pioneers of "Screamo" This album is so great in so many levels i could possible heavyly compare it to nevermind by nirvana as the band pulls you in with catchy riffs from New Beginnings,Letters to you, To the most captivating under rated song in the album in my opininon "WithOut you here" the band seems to have broken up as of late 2005 or early 2006 but by far its the closest Greatest album ive heard from a supposed emo band
the album recived a 4 out of a 5 because songs like project mayhem or kinda unbareable and the thought of haveing to change it everytime it comes out sucks but other than that its a awsome album i hope this review helps you!!. Finch is band from drive-thru records also home to other great bands like Fenix*Tx, New found glory, Finch seems to blend screaming and amazing heavy riffs.
