After a mezermising debut, how do you match it. By making it more tolerable. This album is a lot more meldoic than their debut and is more easy listening (it still is incredbily crazy though).
This album is also alot more structured and alot more catchier as well.
I do favour this album, very slightly to their debut because it reminds me more of what Protest The Hero are doing now.
I'm also sad to say that after this album, they sadly broke up, which is a complete shame because they were one of the best bands from the 00's.
1. Bland Street Bloom - What a 7 string groove. After listening to this album, I did detune my guitar down to A# and learnt how to play the intro. What an amazing song, great chours, amazing over dubs with vocals and some amazing instrumental work, what more can you want.
2. Flogging The Horse - A crazy song about animal sex. How crazy can you get. Great song with an amazing ending. The video for this song is also quite cool, because I never saw what these guys look like live.
3. Way Beyond The Fond Old River - Amazing chorus and an amazing pre chorus. Just overall a fantastic song.
4. Summer Rain - The craziest song on the album. The middle section would put Meshuggah to shame, wittering around hitting the lowest note they possibly can. Polyrthyms at their best in this song.
5. In This Light - It's almost like a ballad, but it's very eerie. Great song, with a great chorus.
6. Sanguine Seas Of Bigotry - One of the best songs on the album in my opinion. Mikee & Justin show some spectaculaire vocals. Amazing chorus.
7. Mermaid Slur - More poetry. In my opinion it doesent match up to When Will The Forest Speak...? Mainly because it's length isn't as long.
8. When The Moments Gone? -Great chorus. Very crazy but just enough to tolerate.
9. Part Of The Friction - Fantastic lyrics. Some great vocals and instrumental work.
10. Where Do We Fall? - The most melodic song on the album. Very Funeral For A Friend. Great chorus and some fantasitc melodies.
11. Another Sinking Ship - Amazing song with some amazing instrumental work.
12. As The Earth Spins Round - A great way to end the album. Amazing fade out section at the end.
CONCLUSION: Buy both of their albums. Fantastic pieces of music.
