Boy Sets Fire - After The Eulogy



This "After the Eulogy" CD is a great album and Boy Sets Fire is a great band. This was the second album from this Delaware political post-hardcore leading act, originally released by legendary Victory Records in 2000 and by the time had been released by Wind Up Records in 2001. Contains 14 tracks, This CD brings back those glory days when the fine line separating really bad metal from really boring hardcore was erased. This is a great punk/emo/hardcore release. Boy Sets Fire play intense music which each song has powerful emotions and driving personal politics. Very political, these guys have no qualms in voicing their opinions which they do every chance they get. They show their disaprovement with corporate america as well as those currently in power through their powerful lyrics. I love the singers voice and the way they mix in the screaming is perfect. Many people don't like this album because they claim it's not hardcore. Well, it's not supposed to be. People are too stuck on labels. Musically, this "After The Eulogy" featuring an impeccable match up of full-bore rhythms and pummeling guitars with a towering wall of guitars jumping into stripped-down noodling and back with the cold efficiency of emocore acts, show Boy Sets Fire knows how to get the job done when it sets its mind to it.
In Conclusion, if you're into the music, just check this one out. This album is so good. It never gets old. It has great replay value.
