Great album from a great band! Alexis kicks so much ass! fast, crazy riffs and screaming, interesting build-ups and a great mix of hard parts and softer parts. This album is one of those few that has made me think: "damn, this shit is awesome," when I first listened to it, and many of the tracks send chills through me! Alexisonfire is an amazing and unique band, and I look forward to see them in Oslo november the 27th, even though they probably will play songs mostly from Crisis, which was a bit disappointing compared to their first two albums. This is their best album and I recommend everyone who likes alternative post-hardcore to buy this!
Key tracks: 44' caliber love letter, A dagger through the heart of L.A. and Polaroids of polarbears.

good ol Alexisonfire. First cd, it is a good cd, especially if you are a big hardcore fan. This cd has some very good songs on. I still recomend you get Watch Out, though the two cd's are a good amount different. The guitarist doesn't sing much on this cd like he does on the new one, good for some fans and bad for some others. It pumps you up, crazy guitars and drums of course. can't beat Alexis baby.

Whoa!!! This shit is good. More than the average melodic screamo band, these guys know how to create great guitar leads. Very intense with some cool screams from the lead singer. A lot better than their follow-up (Watch Out). For fans of Funeral For A Friend, Nor Am I, Thrice...

Amazing album. It's melodic, but yet with an raw edge to it. It's emotional hardcore with a punk attitude. It sounds like.... Alexisonfire! The mix between clean vocals and screamo are brilliant in this album. I give it 4 stars.

good lord this cd kicks all kinds of ass. they have 2 awesome guitarists and all their vocalists all have a unique sound to their voices. if your lookin at buyin their stuff, start with this. its all the screaming and good stuff, and its infinity better than their second cd. so get it, its worth the money plus a lot more.

dude alexisonfire is VERY good.If you like Thrice and From Autumn to Ashes and stuff like that its worth all the cash.They have some of the strangest lyrics which are also some of the best.They also have some very creative guitar parts and great screaming/singing.This one is better than Watch Out!!!! but that ones pretty good to.

A pretty good album from these guys. Love how they mix the raw screaming with a bit of the slower side of the band. Alexisonfire also knows how to play gutiar and drums , they have very unique sound. Thou at times i wish it was a little bit faster as the lead vocalists will scream only two words at a time then pause. (But just a thought others might really like it) Overall a good buy suggested for fans of Poison The Well. Plus u get a bonus video

yep. this album fucking rules and alexisonfire cranks out some pretty hot shit on this release. i'd have to say that considering it's their first record, these guys know what the fuck is going on and aren't afraid to show it. there is such an incredible vibe about this album that i ended up burning a copy so i could listen to it in my car too. such talent and more great things to come from this band. and though i've only had it for a few days, the new album is even better.
