All things considered, this album is a decent debut for a band like At My Worst. For a band on the local level that is developing a sound in a genre with the likes of Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Miss May I, and so on... they did not pull any punches. The album features songs that waiver in inspiration and tone but executed decently for the most part.
For instance, you are going to get a different experience listening to their 3rd track on the album "Coming Up Aces" as you would listening to the track "Eternal Stalemate". The former of the two tracks being predominantly clean vocals, while the latter of the two tracks is nothing but harsh vocals in a riff driven song. It sounds more like an album of a band trying to find their sound than anything, but yet still has something to deliver with each song.
Looking at my favorite track of the album, track #1 entitled "Vice", it starts with the drums playing a blast beat during the intro while the guitars and bass are playing a blistering riff. After a whole rest, the song kicks into the first verse with a riff that sounds very unique and METAL AF. Catchy riff after catchy riff into the chorus, we get a very catchy set of cleans from the lead vocalist. The song then ends with more blast beats that lead into a breakdown.
If you like metalcore, I recommend this band and most of the songs on this album.
