This Music Definitely WON'T Be The Death Of Us!

So, I grabbed what could be my most anticipated album since Dance or Die today. (DODWAV doesn't count, it wasn't an original album.) This Will Be The Death Of Us, by Set Your Goals is the album in question. Good, but not EXACTLY what I was expecting.

I got SYG's Mutiny as an experiment. I'd heard a lot about them in Alternative Press, and saw their album was about pirates. That's about all I knew when I bought the album. So, imagine my delight when I pop it in to hear fast paced punk, laced with a singing style just as unprofessional. I was hooked.

Flash-forward to this evening, when I threw the new album in the player of the Crunk Truck v2. I was DEFINITELY surprised to find vox that sounded like they should be in a pop-punk band of the likes of All Time Low or Forever the Sickest Kids. Sure, it wasn't predominant, but it was there. The new sound definitely sounds different, but a couple times through the record got me through that little hiccup, and now I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

My favorite point on the album is definitely Hayley Williams' (Paramore) performance in the song "The Few That Remain." With DEFINITE hip-hop influences, Hayley throws it down like I've never heard her sing. It's incredible. I'm not a fan of Paramore, normally. They've got too poppy of a sound. But after hearing the combo of their lead singer and SYG, I've got half a mind to give them a shot.

End result? If you want to push, shove, make noise, and rise against the oppresion, grab this album. JACK ENDORSED. Haha.
