This is From First To Last's first release on Interscope Records, moving up in the music industry from Epitaph Records (which did do the band very well, making a name for themselves). Over the years the band has gone through label shifts and member changes. so it's no shock that this self-titled release has a nervous energy throughout. From First To Last are flying around in the category field. They aren't punk and not typical screamo. yet not hard-core either. They mix a type of all these styles, which I think helped with their success. because they appeal to fans of all different genres of music.
This album definitely is driven by angst, fierce guitars, and aggression -- every song displays it. therefore putting them in a hard-core category as far as I'm concerned. "Two As One" is a tight and sharp in-yer-face rocker. This album also has post-punk type anthems, as well as heartfelt yet still on the heavy side semi-ballads like "We All Turn Back To Dust" that changes tempo from heavy to a lighter rock with a sing-a-long chorus. It's good to see the band still doing well at a time when bands don't normally survive going through what they have.
Bought this cd because my daughter wanted it. She loves it, she says shes listened to each song at least 500 times and has memorized them. So, I guess that means it is awesome, and 13 year old kids will like it very much. I got the clean version and she said it didn't make any difference, it was still great.
