The lyrics are often regarded as what people believe as "emo" nowadays, but if emo really did stand for "emotional", then practically all music out there should be called emo as well, like Britney Spears. The real emo is actually very different compared to the emo that MTV brainwashed everyone with, but I won't go into depth about that because there are plenty of entries of emo that talk about the real deal.
@ThisWeedIsMine4 I didn't lol. Me comment was: My friend hates A Skylit Drive but I love it. Guess who's listening to A Skylit Drive right now? I think you replied to the wrong person.
@thehappiestcamper A lot of people like to associate modern post-hardcore with emo and screamo, especially since some post-hardcore bands selected those as their genres on their Myspace, but that is because Myspace doesn't have anything near post-hardcore as a selection, so selecting emo and screamo are probably the only other closest genres that people would familiarize with post-hardcore.
@thehappiestcamper although the real emo and screamo aren't very similar to modern post-hardcore at all). Please don't call post-hardcore "emo" and "screamo". It's post-hardcore.
Deus Ex Machina - whereby a seemingly inextricable problem is suddenly and abruptly solved with the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object.
When this song came on I just randomly started dancing, I completely forgot that my brother's friends were at my house. This song makes me just want to move! I love it!!<333
Epic song. Cory's drums sound amazing on this album. I LOVE the way the snare sounds. The tone on the toms sound really nice too. It sounds way diffferent on Adelphia tho :(
Saw them on the first night of The Emptiness Tour in Philly with Alesana
They were so amazing <3
I got to meet Jag, Nick, and Cory
All of them are sweethearts. Nick liked my hat and Cory kissed my cheek and I got hugs from all of them
Alesana, unfortunately, wasn't around after the show; I only got to briefly meet Jeremy at the end, but Shawn gave me his guitar pick after the last song so it's all good c:
Saw them at Warped in Dallas a few weeks ago having never heard them before. My friend wanted to know if the vocalist could sing live like on the CD, and he damn sure can. They killed it live and I've been checking them out a bit lately. This song kicks all kinds of ass, and this album seems to be their best. I'm becoming more of a fan and I don't even listen to this kind of music anymore, with the exception of a couple of old favorites.
"I'm Not a Thief, I'm a Treasure Hunter" is a quote from Locke Cole, from the Final Fantasy VI. "Knights of the Round" is a summon in Final Fantasy VII. "Balance" quotes the story Final Fantasy X in the chorus. "All It Takes for Your Dreams to Come True" is a quote from the President Shinra in Final Fantasy VII. "This Isn't the End" is a quote from Aerith Gainsborough in Final Fantasy VII. "Pursuit Lets Wisdom Ride The Wind" is a quote from Final Fantasy V.
