Rival schools released their debut album, which was praised by the critics, 10 years ago. Then they broke up. They reunited in 2008 and this is their sophmore release. All of the band members had pretty extensive resumes prior to forming Rival Schools, which may be why they split up only one year after their first release.
There's a lot to love here, and I like this whole album a lot (though not as much as the critics.)
Their musical style is described as post-hardcore. I don’t know what that means. They remind me of some of the more melodic, 1980’s metal bands (e.g, Extreme, Def Leppard, Mr. Big, Queensryche) though not exactly like any of them.
