Songs to Scream at the Sun

After preordering the new Have Heart LP, 'Songs to Scream at the Sun', I got the download of the former which came with the package. Immediately put it on repeat, and started to give it 3 solid listens. 'The Things We Carry' was a groundbreaking debut album, and I didn't think Have Heart would be able to match the Passion, Intensity and Songwriting of their Debut, let alone top it. I turned out to be dead wrong, as Songs.. is a step above everything else, and most other contemporary hardcore releases. Every song is a solid onslaught, without any filler or down parts. The lyrics of Pat Flynn are better than ever and really strike home with me, and could with anyone. The sheer intensity of sound is incredible, and the recording and mix itsself sounds so tight. Bostons is probably the best track, but it is hard to stand out in an album as amazing as this. Unless the new Iron Age is better, this will probably be the release of 2008. 5/5

Your friends say Boston's beautiful...
