Canada’s post-hardcore quintet,
Alexisonfire (pronounced Alexis on fire) returns to the
scene with their 3rd full length album entitled “Crisis”.
Alexisonfire formed in 2001 and quickly gained attention
with their selftitled debut, and their success snowballed
with the 2004 follow up “Watch Out!”. Now fans
get to sink their teeth into another morsel from the band.
Alexisonfire really capture the essanse of the whole post-hardcore
style that bands like Boysetsfire helped popularize. I
really have to say that I’m impressed with the writing
for this album. It’s not overdone, it’s not
sappy, it’s really solid record, period. The mood
of it is overall just good. The melodies are captured well,
the percussions are perfect as is. Because we all know
that some drummers like the take it to extremes and end
up creating bigger flaws than before and making it not
fit with the rest of the music. It’s heavy when it
can be and soft when it needs to.
I can truly say that it’s pretty good for what it
is. Plus the artwork for it is pretty cool too. I give
Alexisonfire kudos for making a record that well, doesn’t
suck. And I give the album itself a four out of five.
