Review - :
Coming quickly on the heels of 2004's {^Sirens and Condolences}, the men of Long Island's {$Bayside} continue to find themselves pegged as an {\emo} band, but the {$Anthony Raneri}-steered group has a less limiting grasp on {\indie rock}. While the explosive hard-charging opener {&"Hello Shitty"} is a ferocious exclamation mark, the song is an anomaly amid the white noise acoustic {\rock} of {&"Don't Call Me Peanut"} and the optimistic tack of {&"Tortures of the Damned."} {$Bayside}'s enthusiastic drive propels {&"Half a Life,"} which is one of several exhibitions for the wares of guitarist {$Jack O'Shea}. If the complexities of relationships seem like trite song fodder these days, {&"Existing in a Crisis"} proves that it can still be done with effect, but {$Raneri} and his compadres still come up short on {&"Montauk,"} an {\experimental} tune inspired by the erratic film {#Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind}. Just the same, they deserve credit for trying to reach beyond their comfort zone. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ John D. Luerssen, All Music Guide
