Album Description
These five lads from Phoenix prove once more that word about good music travels fast. They caused Neckbeards, a local Phoenix venue, to close after hundreds of fans tried to force their way into a sold out show. This is their debut on Rocket Science and it'll be supported by the band's appearances on the Smartpunk stage on this year's Warped Tour, and on other tours.

Customer Reviews

GOD bless the fall
The first album by this band, and the album with former singer Craig Mabbitt , who many miss ( Craig now is the singer for Escape The Fate, of all bands)

Ive seen this band twice in concert, and they are good live. They impressed me at Warped Tour and i even got to meet Craig.

This cd is a decent first try by a new band. It has some spirtual meaning, and displays some definate potential. If they can keep playing good live and making more songs like "Higinia" and "Black Rose Dying", which were what caught my attention most of all.

In "Higinia", theres a part where hes screams " You will not die" over and over and finally finnishs the last word "die" with a raised, chilling , voice that i must admit was kinda powerfull. Together with the deeper spirtual meaning contributed by the members faith in something higher than themselves, i think its commendable. They impressed me right there, and im not some enormously uptight religious person, though i try to be honest with who i am. But thats me.

And "Black Rose Dying" has some honestly guinely powerfully savage screams that are authentically despret and cathartic, as the singer gasps franticly and lets out blood curdling screams. You can feel the emotion so much in it, it definatly isnt forced. And to me, that was blessthefall's hint at genius.

They are very young and just starting out, and havent harnassed that brillance through out the album, but i just wanna mention that i noticed a spark of greatness. Nothing tremendous. But i saw something.

Im not typing out a real thorough review becouse i dont have much time. But i think this album is worth checking out and the band is worth supporting. Hopefully things wont fall apart with Craig Mabbitts departure.

This cd as a whole has a good amount of songs on it that arent extremly memorable. But its their very first album. Its good effort. You wont find great musical innovation or anything though. The songs might speak to you, they might not. Its not bad. Theres lots of room for improvement.

Good Stuff!!!
This CD surprised me. I have pleasantly been surprised on how good this CD is. Can't wait for their new CD.

A bit stagnant in the diversity department
The Good
"A Message to the Unknown" is an in-your-face assault of fury with shades of melody thrown it for good measure. "Higinia" focuses more on vocal harmony, but still tosses in plenty of blood-thirsty howls. The rapid-fire drum work is simply devastating. "Rise Up" displays some heavy riffs, as well as ear-piercing vocals. "Pray" is a dark horse track, due to its soothing acoustic rhythms and tuneful vocals. Don't be fooled into thinking the group is going soft, because half-way through, they bring the thunder. "With Eyes Wide Shut" sets a haunting tone.

The Bad
"Guys Like You Make Us Look Bad" sounds just like the song that preceded it ("A Message to the Unknown"). As the album plays on, you'll swear that Bless The Fall's guitar player only knows one guitar lick.

The Verdict
A decent mix of hardcore and melody, but it's a bit stagnant in the diversity department.
