Life is Not a Waiting Room

     So I actually have a pretty generous review for this one. I love the whole 'mistaken identity' theme of the cover and I'm glad I went with my instinct. This album is Life is Not a Waiting Room by Senses Fail. I've never heard of this particular band, but I've been in and around their circuit for quite some time now. I've never actually been able to coin just one genre for this type of music; I've heard it referred to as screamo, rock, punk, metal. Whatever it is, I dig it.

     I'm glad to say Life is Not a Waiting Room starts out strong, and though it has some low points, it's pretty steady in quality. Half the songs were good and half the songs were just okay. It was in an order where it varied so I'd enjoy one song then be indifferent about the next. My favorites off of this album were probably Chandelier and Wolves at the Door; they were a lot less poppy which is why I didn't like some of the other songs. The lead singer has a high-pitched and very mainstream type voice, almost a little annoying, but he could make it glimmer when he wants to. One thing I have to give them points for is how no two songs sounded exactly the same like many albums who differ very little from song to song. Might have just been the order and how it flip-flopped from extreme highs to extreme lows, but it works.
