I like ASL, but this album lost steam with me after like a week. Literally five listens in I'd begun to lose interest and not long after it I completely lost it. Every now and then I decide to listen to a couple of the songs, but overall it's completely fallen flat for me. It was good while it was lasted though.

I listened to almost the whole album on Purevolume and every song blended together. Thankfully this genricore will soon be forgotten. It's funny you mentioned ETID in the RIYL section because ETID actually has talent whereas ASL are just recycling a dying sound.

I thought this album was really good and FUN. They may have taken ETID's gutter phenominon sound but they made it their own with the whole post-hardcore vibe they got going for them.
I will never get bored of the prestige. That song kicks ass. Its unforunate this album was never reviewed by a staff member.

Nice review :) about time someone got around to reviewing this.

I'd only argue that its hard to give them credit for learning lessons and developing their sound over the last 6 years, its almost an entirely new group of guys; but nonetheless, credit to Dan and Phil for continuing the hard work and keeping the band alive and rockin' out

I see what you mean, but even the progress between their Self Titled and Rattlesnake! is a feat.

Thought it was awesome. I liked the self-titled too, but this blew it away in my opinion. Joe's screaming sounds crazy.

I've been a fan of every ASL album, even Faso Latido (an album that ages well)....but this latest work just doesn't cut it.

I still need to pick this up. I'll probably be getting it for Christmas.
I like ASL enough that I don't mind the change to the "popular" heavy sound at the moment.

I hated their self-titled release when it first came out, but over the summer it really grew on me and I'd have to say that the self-titled is my favorite release by the thus far. Of course, I haven't heard this one yet.

I stopped listening to them when they tried to do southern rock. I still love their first album though.

i'm addicted to the album. i hated it at first. then i gave it a few more listens. found some songs i liked, then i found a few more. and then pretty much the whole damn thing grew on me. idk why, but this rarely leaves my car stereo. everything about them has improved tenfold. the musicianship, the lyrics, the vocals, the pace, the mood. it's not perfect and it's not gonna change music, but it's a good ass record that should be given a chance.

how can you not get stoked listening to this album?
i hop on my skateboard and throw it on and fuck it just gets me pumped

i picked this album up yesterday after hearing a few songs a few weeks ago, I wasn't sure about it but I saw it there and couldn't resist... i really love it though. Its a great cd. Their first album is still the best, but after failing on Faso I agree that this is what they needed. Even their last cd before this was decent (awesome at first, but it died on me) this cd is definately what they needed

This album is amazing, not sure why they get so much hate. "Mourning Would Come" is hands down one of my favorite songs. Not just by them, in general.

these guys went from a band that so many bands aped to a band that isn't even as good as some of their imitators. come on, Faso Latido is a million times better than this
