ARMOR FOR SLEEP
What To Do When You Are Dead
Equal Vision Records
6.5/10
Armor For Sleep is probably too emo for most hardcore metal maniacs, but even so, you have to admit that this group has an affinity for writing a memorable melody. These guys are much closer to Good Charlotte or Story Of The Year than many fans might care to admit, but regardless of this fact, Armor For Sleep shows themselves to write dramatic, catchy material that stays with you for hours.
“The Truth About Heaven” finds the group pulling off a definite college radio smash. Bizarre photographs adorn the album’s liner, which lends a Pink Floyd abstractness to the group’s overall image. Other solid cuts here include “Remember To Feel Real”, “The More You Talk The Less I Hear” and the odd sounding “Basement Ghost Singing”.
Overall, there’s not very much heavy metal happening here, simply a heavy dose of emotion that will surely have the young ladies swooning.
