This new album is fuckin amazing. They are by far my favorite band of all time. The way they mix heavy guitars and drums with catchy poppy yet aggressive vocals and melodies is truely unique. Other bands try to make this sound but nobody does it like FYS. Been waiting for new material from this band for years and years and years and my expectations were through the roof yet they always deliver and it’s exceeded my expectations.

They're also killer live. Ridiculously tight as a band...how they can sing, play guitar, harmonize and still control the crowd at every show I've seen them at is beyond me.
Nice guys as well. Met Alan and Dan in San Diego and they were ridiculously nice. Signed my guitar and complimented my playing even though all I played was 80's thrash covers.
Awesome to see they're still cranking out phenomenal music.

Been fangirling over this band for 8+ years and I've no plans of stopping anytime soon. Been jamming this new album non-stop since it came out and I'm already hungry for more. Best band ever.

[@jpslayermayor9293]

Just purely from an audio quality standpoint of the recording this is the best sounding record Ive every heard bar none

[@nwdrums24]

Silverstein blends heavy and catchy quite well to except they don't have double kick. 2 of my favorite bands.

[@julyhaste]

The clip of the song at the end raised my hype levels SIGNIFICANTLY. Sounds amazing!

[@discgolfwes]

This album turned out fantastic! Not surprising though, FYS is next level.

[@thelucky0239]

[@TitansHardcore]

I really like the approach taken for the vocal recording! Very interesting. It gives an extra dimension to the record when listening to it now.

[@danielhorton9929]

At first I was disappointed when I found out that Kurt B. Was not producing this, but then after I found out Will was doing production, I was immediately relieved!

[@FeedmRice]

This might be the first time I’ve heard Alan’s speaking voice and I don’t know how to feel
