Thought I'd add my [...] on this album. This is certainly one of the best CDs I own. I also have their next 2 albums, 'Catch For Us the Foxes' and 'Brother, Sister' and personally I consider the best, although all three are very good.
Lead vocalist, Aaron Weiss is a lyrical genius. Just reading through the lyrics, trying to figure out the metaphors adds another layer to the album. The guy is a religious nut, not in any imposing way or anything but he has a cool, street-preacher mentalism.
The music is consistently awesome. It's heavier than their follow ups, there's more anxiety and passion (not emo!) with a healthy dose of screaming, but ir remains coherent.
If, like me, you prefer the earlier, grittier sound, listen to their EP 'I Never Said That I Was Brave'. It's cheap. It rocks.

Blazing the trail for a totally new genre of hardcore rock, MeWithoutYou throws amazingly provactive vocals and sizzling guitar riffs into the already popular hardcore sound. The Vocalist doesn't scream, but yells, every word is crystal clear, and filled with emotion and feeling beyond anything the hardcore genre of music has offered as of yet. The band is so full of raw power and emotion that you can sit down and enjoy the cd from begining to end. The album is amazing and includes a beutiful acoustic hidden track about 10:55 minutes into the last song. In conclusion this band is a prodigy of the hardcore genre of rock, and not to be take lightly.

The most emotional album I have ever heard. 4 1/2
15 Jan 2005
Format:Audio CD
This album is going to be a classic. Unlike a lot of music where people scream you actually feel what he is feeling. Sometimes it is so raw that I get goosbumps when I hear some of these lyrics. Lyrically this maybe one of the best albums I have ever heard with the opening lines of Gentlemen, "We never met you and I, we were always inside, we were so far inside one another and I'll live without you love but what is one glove without the other?"
I am usually never into screaming at all some of my favorite bands are Interpol, Modest Mouse ect. but this album touches me because it maybe the most genuine music I have ever heard. On paper the lyrics do not sound very moving but when the singer screams, "I once was alive, when you held me" you just feel what he is saying.
I saw these guys live this summer and I think they maybe better live because you get more of the emotion. I am from close to where they are from and the girl that most of the songs are about was at the show. Which was kind of awkward but added to the experience.
Music wise this band is also very good. The instuments are sometimes very hard and sometimes very soft. There are some spacy fillers that are also very good.
Mewithoutyou is like no band I have ever heard. I look forward to seeing them progress and make great music but I don't think they will come close to A to B: Life. Hopefully they will.

amazing, amazing, amazing

MewithoutYou is simply unbelievable! I don't think you could just call it hardcore, I guess it's more hardcore than anything else...but not just hardcore. I've heard some describe it as punk meets hardcore meets emo meets folk, etc. You just can't label it; I call it poetry! "Through a garden overgrown, no it's a long walk home. I said I'd not come back...I'm coming back and you'd better be alone." Like the last guy said, the whole beauty of MWY is their live show. To be honest, after seeing them live for the first time I was a little disappointed when I listened to the cd, but I said a little. I've seen them 3 times; when I saw them at Furnace Fest 2002 they threw flowers (or sod or whatever it was) everywhere! They, or I should say Aaron, knocked stuff over as usual and pranced around the stage like a true romantic. I think I saw him kissing people's feet in the audience. If you like their music, go see them live. If you don't like their music, go see them live. It's entertaining at the very least. Simply put, mewithoutYou is one of the most inventive and brilliant bands out there, so buy the cd!

MeWithoutYou is nothing less than brilliant
5 Dec 2002
Format:Audio CD
What an amazing album! Finally, a hardcore band that has the capability of being melodic as well as yelling emotional vocals. MWY is extremely talented and they portray an uplifting, Christian influence through their music. Every track on the album is great.
The standouts on the cd are:
track 1. "bullet to the binary"(great intro and outro, brilliant lyrics, exciting bridge)
track 3. "nice and blue"(great lyrics, perhaps the best bridge on the album)
track 4. "everything was beautiful and nothing hurt"(soothing lyrics, solid bass and drums, incredible outro with some of the most passionate yelling/singing on the cd)
track 6. "gentlemen"(amazing, catchy vocals and a very good beat\great chorus)
track 8. "we know who our enemies are"(nice guitar, great tandem vocals, and once again, fantastic outro featuring amazing lyrics and great guitar)
track 11. "silencer"(beautiful guitar, penetrating drums, and some of the best lyrics on the album)
If it seems like I said most of the songs on the album are standouts, it's because every song is just unique and sweet in its own way. This cd is a must have by a incredible new band that should be prominent for a long while.
