User Album Review
I must say that I wasn’t as instantly impressed with A Shade Of My Former Self as I was last year with TCTF’s debut e.p. The Social Meltdown. This new release sounds more polished and less gruff, with a more mainstream sound provided by producer Mathijs Tieken. A lot of the more original elements, like the Southern Swag Every Time I Die influences and the more dissonant riffing have been removed, which makes the album sound pretty generic at times (the breakdown in The Enemy, featuring Heart Of A Coward’s Jamie Graham, for instance is vintage A Day To Remember). There is still a lot of Underoath in the sound, but overall it all sounds very slick and smoothed instead of angry and dangerous. If heavy music could sound radio friendly, TCTF would probably come pretty close at some points, without skimping on the heavy mosh calls and chuggachugga riffing.
All that being said, with songs like Carte Blanche, A Testament and In The Wake Of Pride, the band has recorded some awefully catchy modern metalcore anthems. On top of that, Caroline remains a very impressive vocalist, both in the growling lows and the warm cleans. The breakdown at the end of Heartless, Breathless. is so agressive it gave me Throw furniture around and mosh holes in the walls! type goosebumps when I first heard it. Lovers of the genre will without a doubt find a lot to like or even love here. --- reviewed by swnk.org
