Product Description

CD Description
Fourth album from the Welsh screamo heroes, the follow-up to 2007's 'Tales Don't Tell Themselves' and the first to be issued on their own label, Join Us. This release sees them marrying the more overtly stadium rock-inspired style they explored on the last album with the brutal breakdowns of yore, whilst retaining their killer knack for melody. The result is a cohesive, well-structured set which is perhaps their most rounded to date. Includes the single 'Waterfront Dance Club'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid 4th Album, 1 Nov 2008
I've followed FFAF since I picked up Casually Dressed in my local music shop several years ago having never heard any of their material before. I wasn't disappointed. Like the other reviewer I have always felt their strength has been in crafting big strong melodic rock songs peppered with some excellent 'metal' musicianship. Memory and Humanity doesn't deviate from this foundation and provides another quality, highly listenable album.

The absence of the screamed vocals, (being only present on a few tracks) will probaby deter the Casually Dressed fundamentalists, but to be honest I prefer the more natural vocals it works better with the style of music. Screaming is all well and good in the context of angry political rantings and hardcore death metal, but for me it sounds a bit 'forced' and out of context here.

I was not even aware of this album until i went to their excellent live show. The new material sounded just as good as anything else they played and like many of the crowd I was surprised when they pointed out that they had just released a new album, under their own record label, (hence the lack of expensive marketing). I've listened to the album several times now and there are some excellent tracks encorporating all the classic elements of their sound. It's not a huge departure from Hours, Tales or CD for that matter (bar the sreams), if anything it blends elements of all 3 previous offerings. The result being a good solid 4th album that shouldn't disappoint existing fans and also provide a good starting point for newcomers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to the Wales, 14 Oct 2008
By Mr. A. G. Sambrook (London (hack *spit*)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just to clarify I think FFAF are one of the most talented Metal bands around. I chipped in with my two cents on 'Tales' and I thought that album was a stunning concept album, full of huge riffs and a tightly driven storyline (similair to Mastodon's Leviathon album about Moby Dick).
This is more of a return to Causally Dressed and Hours territory but only with a bit of screaming I'm afraid. So if that's all your here for then I'm afraid you're out of luck. I hear the new Bring Me The Horizon album has lots of screaming in so go buy that.

If you liked the FFAF sound anyway (with or without screaming) then this album should be an essential buy!
'Rules and Games' kicks the album off in style (I love that riff and drum beat) when I first got the album I kept sliding this song back to the start as I couldn't stop listening to it, it slides nicely in to 'Mouchette' which is a bit smoother and more of a downbeat track with a gravel riff.
'Kicking and Screaming' is as they describe a pop-rock song turned to eleven (and is one of my favourite tracks off the album). 'Constant Illuminations' is one of the hard songs on the album and the closest to Casually as you can get. 'Maybe I am' is similair to 'Mouchette' in terms of its downbeat feel and is a nice song. For some reason it reminds of Jimmyeatworld.
'Wolves' has an amazing driving guitar and is a stand out song. That guitar noise is awesome! And the climax of the song is outstanding.
'Building' is a nice ballad, and FFAF seem to always do them really well so this is no exception.'Burning Tree' is one of the other of my favourites from the album and I love how the riff moves the song in to a fantastic chorus and finale. Genius.
'Someday the fire...' is another great rock song all the way to eleven. A more sedate beat but a fantastically produced rock song with a tubthumping chorus.
'Waterfront' is almost a kick back to Seven Ways with its intro but the latter half is more Hours, and it's a great song. 'Charlie don't surf' is the second ballad of the album and has a nice drive to it.
'Ghosts' and 'Constant Resurrections' both bring the album to a downbeat finish, Ghosts is a little more frenetic but Constant is an album ender with a piano and guitar breaking way for a band that plays to silence.

FFAF confessed that this album was more of a return to the themes of Casually but the sound had moved on. And it's true, it's progressed and you can still tell it's the same band making the music it's just their ability to write really tight songs has increased ten fold.
To be honest I've been dying to hear this album and it didn't disappoint me in any way at all. It rocks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as anthemic as "Tales"..., 14 Oct 2008
By S. P. Long "Simon Long" (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is FFAFs fourth album, and is very much a continuation of the style of "Tales Don't Tell Themselves". Fans of the band's earlier work are going to be as disappointed with this as they were with "Tales" - the screamed vocals from the first two albums are again conspicuous by their absence, in favour of a more mainstream rock sound. That said, taken in isolation, this is another cracking album. It's perhaps a bit of a step back from the stadium anthems of "Tales", and is a bit less immediately catchy as a result, but the songs are strong and FFAF's ear for a good melody hasn't deserted them.

When I heard "Tales" for the first time, I immediately declared it the best album of 2007 - I'm not quite as positive about this one, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't make my top 5 for 2008.
