I haven't heard anything from them since "Casually Dressed..." and "Hours". How does this stack up?

their last album was amazing. this is sounding like it will be on par with it!

Then you've missed Welcome Home Armageddon which is their best album.

this actually sound awesome!!!

It's far from brilliant. Clearly their worst effort to date. Formulaic, and generic as hell.

not digging these clips besides Nails. this one could be a future classic

I will have to check these out when I get home but the two songs I have heard so far sounded good. This band is always solid in my opinion.

guitars sound very samey through most of the songs but this made me much more excited for this album than either released . somewhat disappointed at the lack of slower songs.

I'm just concerned that this one might drag on trying to get through it

If this is half as good as Welcome Home Armageddon, I am pumped!

After listening to the full album from start to finish about 10 or so times now I can safely say that for me it's the best FFAF album since Casually Dressed. I'm definitely a fan of the heavier side of post-hardcore and Conduit is easily the heaviest the band have ever sounded. I was never fan of their more alternative rock influenced material and I honestly believe Funeral are at their strongest when the riffs are loud and Matthew Davies is angry. Their new drummer from Rise To Remain clearly gives their sound a crunchy metallic edge, and at times it's absolutely punishing. I do wish the album was longer, but that's only because it leaves me craving more and more. I'm personally really glad the band had the balls to make this album because in such a concentrated form there is no room for error, and I think they've nailed it.
