Finally Found It
I have not put a lot of stock in the Screamo genre, but Alesana has succeeded in making a beautifully emotional masterpiece with their first full album.
Stick with it if you don't really get into the spoken word Icarus, it makes for a perfect transition into one of the best tracks on the album, Ambrosia. From there I'm hooked every time I put in this album.
Unfortunately I'm very confused with the bonus tracks. I'm glad they realized that melodic type "The Third Temptation of Paris", and the similar breakdowns in their other songs were some of their best work(although they didn't remember this when making their second album), but the bonus songs just don't fit.
The transition from Nero's Decay almost fits, but the acoustic piano with the obviously modified voice just ruins the mood. The remix of apology is slightly easier to take, but i am always waiting for the song to pick up and it seems like a ghost of the original.
So Get This Album!, there is enough variety that there should be something you can get into.

) Alesana hailing from NC is a great band, on frail wings of vanity and wax is an amazing cd, this is the re-release with bonus extras such as live videos and bonus tracks, if you are a fan of screamo/emo music or are a fan of blessthefall then this cd is for you. On frail wings of vanity and wax mixes screaming with singing for a great sound, to sum it up this cd is well worth buying.
