![]() That basically describes the topic of the lyrics pretty well. Like it is mentioned in the booklet, 'Protest is Patriotism'. Topics are the ongoing downward spiral of society, corruption of governments and of the views of the normal man on the street. The lyrics are very intelligent, on a very high level compared to other bands (except for some clichee like lines like "So save your wishes for the sky", 'Last year's nest'). Plus, work with two guitars, pretty typical for newer Emo or Screamo bands.īut don't think you will be encountered with lyrics about lost relationships and similar stuff. And I guess that that was the thing that gave me the impression of emo. Most of the time, you hear melodic vocals, long stretched melodic choruses, or chorus lines and pre-choruses that sound pretty 'suffering'. ![]() But that's the smaller part of the album. Fast paced, shouted vocals, deep and hard guitar riffs. Songs like 'Realease the Dogs' or 'On in five' are pretty good for mosh pits and stuff. There are still songs that have a touch of Hardcore (and I mean touch, not pure Hardcore). Nevertheless, I took it home and gave it a longer listen. But after the first chorus of the second song, 'Last Year's nest', I thought: "Wow, how emo." The only song I knew before this album by BoySetsFire was 'After the Eulogy', and so I expected something towards the direction Hardcore/Metalcore. This album quite suprised me, when I first picked it up and gave it a listen in my local record store.
