Please before you start to read, appreciate that me rating this album 4 stars, is 4 stars. This is a damn good rating. I've noticed many people rate items 5 stars just on the basis that they "like the album" or whatever, whereas I don't class this album as sheer perfection, which is what 5 stars should represent. There are only about 5 albums in the world I would class as such.
Now onto the actual review...
Since their first album 'Drive-By Monologue', The Hurt Process have had the priveledge of touring with Underoath. It seems that some of the Underoath intensity has crossed the border into that of The Hurt Process, turning them from what may have been described as a post-hardcore band (emo if you listen to Kerrang) into a more hardcore/metal style band.
They introduce double kick drums throughout, and more technical guitaring rather than pumping out the same chords over and over again, and a much higher scream to sing ratio than in the other album; which may not appeal to some people, but I believe that their sound in this album is much more honed and experienced than in the old one. They just seemed to have grown up, and their music has grown up with them.
What also stands out in this album, is the diversity between the different songs. For example "A Mind With Two Faces" is a heartfelt ballad, which moves directly into "My Scandinavian Ride" which is a visceral assault on the ear-lobes. The contrast between the different songs, and the fact you never get the same thing twice really, is what makes this CD so satisfying.
However, the lyrical content is quite shallow, talking about failing/failed relationships, in more or less every single song, which has become quite cliché and you can't help but feel they could have packed some deeper meaning into their songs than that.
Overall, this album is convincingly good throughout, and you never know what you're going to get next, and would be a great purchase for fans of bands such as Underoath, Hondo Maclean, Atreyu, Boysetsfire, Alexisonfire etc. It also comes with a lovely ornamental sleeve to store your case in.... nifty.
I reccomend it.

the hurt process returned with this last year and the big shock was how heavy it was at times,the dual vocals were angrier than ever and the melodies were better than ever,this is a sensational album,yes it has ballads which are part of the hurt process' songs but when they rock they really rock,so dont be afraid of this

Very Different Indeed

Most bands these days tend to go from a heavy as hell sound to one that is soft and bland. The Hurt Process has done the opposite of this and done it with mixed results.
I'm not one for emo personally, but i really enjoyed their first album and thought it stood out among other emo-core bands. The second i put this on i almost thought they were a new band.
The change came about after one of the vocalists decided to do some guitar work after the other guitar player left (he still does the clean vocals though). There are some really good songs on here, i guess i just havent made the adjustment to the new style yet.
Some standout tracks include My Scandinavian Ride, Boogie Nights In Michigan and the acoustic song The Night Before The Morning After.
If you liked the first album, you may not take to this one too much. Maybe you should download some songs to see for yourself. If you like your music heavy but not TOO heavy then this might be what you're looking for. Hey, it even comes with a free air guitar, how could you not love that?

The song Anchor starts with a ten seconds of almost a guitar solo, the song drew me in and from then on I was mezmerized by the whole cd. The most amazing thing they do is go from a hard fast song to a slow song. It is amazing. For instane the song Take To You is probably the hardest and my favorite song on the whole cd, but after a huge ending comes the possibly the best accoustic song Ive ever heard, The Night Before the Morning After. The song arrangment is genious. The riffs have metal influences but blend amazingly with the music. My only complaint is that the sticker on the front said for fans of Silverstein (good comparison), My Chemical Romance (not really), Hawthorne Heights (Hurt Process is a lot harder) and Fall Out Boy. Fall out boy!?? Yes I love FOB but they have zero screaming and are nothing like this. Either way this is a great, intense cd.

Review by Rahul Chandiok:
Generally speaking, when a band decides to change their sound in the post hardcore, emo, or punk rock scene, they tend to tone their music down to a more melodic and accessible sound. Underoath, for example, was a band with a devastating metal sound that displayed impressive emulation of some of the greatest forms of the European and American metal bands in the world. However, the band is now regarded as emocore being that their sound has gone from a metalcore genre, to a more melody-laced style of hardcore music.
Although it is generally common to see heavy bands turn soft, it is quite rare that one might noticed a band go from a melodic sound to a sound filled with heavier guitar riffs, blistering screams, and even the addition of a double bass in the percussion aspect. The Hurt Process' recent release, A Heartbeat Behind, is an album that has gone from a strong emocore standpoint, to one that features an impressive amount of additional hardcore and metalcore influences. Not to say that the humorous song titles and catchy melodic choruses aren't evident, but it seems as if the band as really taken on a sound that is a lot more complex and less mainstream than their previous offering.
Even their first single, "My Scandinavian Ride," features an intense roller coaster of destruction followed up with a flowing and melodic chorus that is, in a way, a juxtaposition of the vehement screams, yet also compliments it in great form. A Heartbeat Behind is a great album from a band that was generally regarded in the past as a band that wouldn't make much noise in the emo and hardcore communities. Clearly, this isn't the case as the Hurt Process have created an album that supplements every aspect of hardcore, metal, and emo into one colossus album that is sure to make waves this summer.
