![]() These slower, more melodramatic tracks feature in abundance on the album, with ‘Resilience’ probably being the best track vocally, but again feels a little meandering. ‘Emergency Contact’ does build well throughout though, whereas ‘Even When I’m Not With You’ feels like it should go somewhere but just never follows through. ![]() I like Pierce The Veil’s more pop-sounding efforts, particularly ‘Circles’ and ‘Floral And Fading’ from 2016’s Misadventures, but those songs are ridiculously catchy, whilst these two just aren’t. ![]() ![]() My hugely positive thoughts on first single ‘Pass the Nirvana’ unfortunately can’t be echoed with the second and third singles released, ‘Emergency Contact’ and ‘Even When I’m Not With You’ (tracks four and three on the album, respectively). Frontman Vic Fuentes’ signature high pitched, slightly whiny, vocals may start to grate throughout the course of the album, but for now it’s a pretty catchy track and as solid of an album opener as any. There isn’t a big breakdown or riffs as intricate as they’ve done in the past, but the track feels like a well-done, more mature, development of that sound (even including some claps reminiscent of the clapping in ‘Besitos’, one of the bands most popular tracks). It would make sense for some Pierce The Veil fans to feel a little alienated with this release, but it instantly became one of my favourite tracks from the band, and built up a decent amount of hype for the album to follow.Īlbum opener ‘Death Of An Executioner’ sees the band return to a more post-hardcore sound that fans are used to. I was instantly hooked on this track from first listen, with a grungier sound much more akin to a band like Deftones, and an absence of the typical soaring riffs and breakdowns you expect from Pierce The Veil. The release of Pierce The Veil’s fifth album The Jaws Of Life has been highly anticipated since the release of the first single (and second track on the album) ‘Pass The Nirvana’ last autumn. Panic! At the Disco are officially done, Fall Out Boy are back, and both Paramore and Pierce The Veil are releasing albums on the same day. It may only be February, but 2023 is already shaping up to be a big year for the most annoying people you’ll ever meet (emos).
