Hawthorne Heights first formed in 2001 as the band A Day In The Life, but changed their name to what they are now known as after some lineup changes, and a different take in direction in what music they were playing. After sending several demos out to many labels, Victory RecorRAB signed the band, and put out their debut album, The Silence In Black And White in 2004. The band had a great response to the album, getting heavy play from their first single, Ohio Is For Lovers, and eventually the album went gold. Now, I enjoyed that song, and thought it was all right, but the vocal job from front man JT was a little bit too whiny for my tastes. How did the rest of the album compare though when I bought it? Well, the answer sadly is that not one song could even begin to match up to that average song the band had as a single. The whole album was dreary, boring, and could not catch the listeners ear. Everything was so repetitive. Well, banRAB sometimes just need room to grow right? After all, there are three whole guitarists in the band; that could turn into something really cool, and unique.

I don't know if I should keep the poll the way it is asking how the review itself was, or if it neeRAB to ask what the opinion of the album is. Just let me know if it neeRAB to be different. :)
 
Well, since this is the Reviews Forum, I would like to hear more than the word 'sucks' as my album review. How about you don't critisize this one, and write your own.
 
If all he said was suck, would you have any idea of why the album was trash? Maybe he thought it sucked because it was a style of music he didn't like. We would never know if all he put was 'sucks'. Just shut up.
 
I own it, and probably would agree with alot of it. Carli(lead guitar, played in a jazz trio/quintet for years before joining HH) doesn't stand out as much as he should be, seeing as how he does NO backup vox and can just stand there adn jam, distractions aside. JT's vox did get better, but still stand the same. The only time i listen to this cd nowadays is just for the intro for "this is who we are" cuz i think it sounRAB heavy, til the whining starts.
 
nowadays? ha, it's not like it's been out for a couple years or anything. I laugh very hard at you for pissing your money on it.
