![]() On some songs accents are set by the use of piano and other instruments/sounds. Overall, tight writing, the instruments work very well together. Same goes for the drums, though that is the instrument I understand least about. The bass breaks out here and there, and does some nice stuff, but nothing very special. ![]() The basslines are good, but mainly follow the guitar. But, the riffs are great, and stretch somewhere between punk, melodic rock, newer metal etc. You can hear that you need two six-stringers sometimes, but a bit more detailed guitar work wouldn't have been bad. Overall, the other instruments work well together, though I sometimes asked myself if it is really necessary to have two guitarists. I already said a bit about the vocals, so I just state here that he get's the job done pretty well IMO. You could say it's a very political album IMO.Ĭome to speak about the music itself. That basically describes the topic of the lyrics pretty well. Like it is mentioned in the booklet, 'Protest is Patriotism'. Topics are the ongoing downward spiral of society, corruption of governments and of the views of the normal man on the street. The lyrics are very intelligent, on a very high level compared to other bands (except for some clichee like lines like "So save your wishes for the sky", 'Last year's nest'). Plus, work with two guitars, pretty typical for newer Emo or Screamo bands.īut don't think you will be encountered with lyrics about lost relationships and similar stuff. ![]() And I guess that that was the thing that gave me the impression of emo. Most of the time, you hear melodic vocals, long stretched melodic choruses, or chorus lines and pre-choruses that sound pretty 'suffering'. But that's the smaller part of the album. Fast paced, shouted vocals, deep and hard guitar riffs. Songs like 'Realease the Dogs' or 'On in five' are pretty good for mosh pits and stuff. There are still songs that have a touch of Hardcore (and I mean touch, not pure Hardcore). Nevertheless, I took it home and gave it a longer listen. ![]() But after the first chorus of the second song, 'Last Year's nest', I thought: "Wow, how emo." The only song I knew before this album by BoySetsFire was 'After the Eulogy', and so I expected something towards the direction Hardcore/Metalcore. They are currently celebrating their 25 th anniversary with a tour including North America and European dates.This album quite suprised me, when I first picked it up and gave it a listen in my local record store. The band are known most not only for the intensity of their live dates, but also the political convictions conveyed in their lyrical themes. BoySetsFire was formed in Delaware in 1994 by singer Nathan Gray, guitarists Josh Latshaw and Chad Istvan, bassist Darrell Hyde, and drummer Matt Krupanski. Tomorrow Come Today is the third studio album by progressive hardcore band Boy S ets F ire, released in 2003. ![]()
