It creates a dramatic atmosphere and compels the listener to listen to the whole album, in sequential order. It ebbs and flows even better than its predecessor. It shows a maturing of sound, lyrical theme, and of expression.

Listening to "I Am Alive In Everything I Touch," what you will hear is the tightest, most structurally sound album of Silverstein's now long and fruitful career. It has those jarring riffs, it has the soaring vocals, it has sing-a-long moments, it has layered themes, lyrically and musically. But, if you're trying to dip your toe in the post-hardcore, metalcore waters, you aren't really looking for those elements anyway.Įssentially, this albums has everything I look for in this genre and everything I expect from this band. You definitely won't hear some god awful fusion of Metalcore and Rap. You won't hear any soulful, obscure Kanye-eque samples. You won't hear any crazy experimental sounds. But, that's my biggest gripe: The biggest single issue is that the album is traditionally Silverstein. That is, it's only an average song for Silverstein, which is to say a well above average song for the genre. For instance, "A Midwestern State of Emergency" was lackluster. Still, before I extol it's virtues, let me be clear, it is not without flaws.

I was dead wrong.įrom start to finish "I Am Alive In Everything I Touch" excels. I wasn't slightly wrong or even a little wrong.

Well, kids, when you assume you "make an ass out of me and u." I was wrong. I naturally assumed that with a release that strong, that heartfelt and impassioned, they would hit a wall. "This Is How The Wind Shifts" seemed like a peak of Silverstein's abilities, to me, circa two years ago. Review Summary: Well, kids, when you assume you "make an ass out of me and u." I was wrong.
