I feel the same way. Like you, UI got into Silverstein as a kid, and whike they're still one of my top bands I feel them slipping away from relevancy. As much as I like Rescue I feel like they need to figure out what they''re getting stale. DtW is one of my all time favorites but I really don't want to hear that sound, which you point out is pretty much dead, anymore. They were sort of trendsetters on the sound but I always got the feeling they could have done more. Which is why Short Songs has gotten me stoked. I feel like they should strap down and do a straight hardcore punk record - maybe dropping the singing, but I think Shane can really pull the shouting/screaming kind of stuff off. From the previews it sounds like that sort of what they're moving towards on this record and I just hope this isn't a one time thing.
