With their full length debut, Finch pull off the remarkable feat of blending the sensuous and beautiful melodic suss of Jimmy Eat World or Weezer with the raw power and aggressive delivery of Deftones. This album is exploding at the seams with hook after gorgeous hook, walls of dense yet articulate guitar, driving, thunderous beats and vocals that ache, soar, and in places, could strip paint. Finch have pulled off what so many other bands have failed to do and created a hybrid of emo, punk rock and hardcore that works on all of these levels whilst simultaneously sounding fresh and new. The songs vary from slow and brooding (yet typically exploding in some fantastic crescendo or climaxing magnificently) to fast and driving, beautifully catchy and melodic or, in the case of "Project Mayhem" featuring Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw, they kick up a disjointed metal noise that is part Meshuggah, part Atari Teenage Riot, part Drowningman while still managing to feel at place on this awesome CD.
For anyone who likes the aforementioned genres, Finch are worth checking out. Their "Falling Into Place" EP (two songs of which appear in rerecorded versions on this CD) is equally worth getting hold of to see a band absolutely at the top of their game, showing some of the more established bands across these genres how to make a record that is emotional and effortlessly moving but that also truly, utterly and completely rocks.

I bought this album after hearing Letters to You and What it is to Burn onTv, Both incredible songs. After buying the album, i realised that these were not one offs, just two in a collection of 14 amazin ones.
Every song on this album makes you want to stand up and jump. The music fills you with such emotion and energy that you just want to burst out. Finch provide an interesting cross between punk and hardcore, so that ther are still catchy riffs but with more energy and less poppy.
There is not one bad track on this album, but a few stand out:
The two singles, Letters to you and What is is to burn, probably the two best tracks on the album, Perfection through silence, a catchy yet mind-blowingly powerful song, Ender, showing how Finch can be more mellow when they want to be, and Without you Here is also incredible.
I would recommend this album to anyone who likes punk but would like to hear it with a little bit more of an edge.

when you first put this album into your stereo straight from the get-go your going to hear one of the best debut albums ever and be ' blown away '.
from the first track it's clear that your in for a ride full of heavy guitar riffs with a punk styling and a singer with such a good voice you wouldn't believe.The drummer creates such good percusion and the guitarists are such an unbelievable pairing , they thrive off of each other, one with a catchy punk/metal layden riff and the other providing great rhythm ( not to metion the underneath emotional screaming ) making all the songs so melodic , so simple but yet so undeniably good. buy this album , you wont be dissapointed. I think the best band drive-thru have signed since New found. Your gonna' love this album , I promise.

Emo has done worse.
Finch, to me, have always felt like the American equivalent of Funeral for a Friend. This was their debut album, and it's a fair piece. Read more

This is what I call an amazing album!!
I first heard Finch on the tv and I really enjoyed their music. I am a very stubborn person so around that time I was attached to my casettes, I refused to give up them up. Read more
