Yeah, I know it's really -core, but this band is just plain fun to listen to. If any band manifests a roller coaster in its listening experience, that is August Burns Red. From the very beginning, it's hard not to enjoy the unpredictable breakdowns, the lightning-like lead guitars, the... well, to get past the verbiage, this is basically a standard metalcore album, it's just actually fun to listen to and not really generic Killswitch-lite. It's also interesting to compare this to the following album and see what ways they still hadn't quite grown up. A lot of the breakdowns on this album are a bit more uniform and there are a lot of tempo changes that don't really make much sense (although they still sound cool). Regardless, I think this is super fun jamz.
