I think the title of this review says it all its amazing and you'd be stupid not to have it.

5 out of 5 stars the best of british.......2005-02-01

Listening to bands such as Taking Back Sunday, Atreyu and other such quality US acts, i thought i might listen to FFAF , and quite frankly ,am i glad that i did. This 11 track release is simply the best UK album for many a moon. Not so highly touted as fellow Welsh rockers Lost Prophets, FFAF are streets ahead when it comes to class,originality,talent,musicianship and all other aspects that go to make up top notch rock acts in this genre. This follows on from the earlier album Seven Ways ....(which has a couple of tracks carried over onto this full-length album). The album moves effortlessly into the groove with opener Rookie Of The Year , and really bites into an evener higher gear with the truly magnificent Juneau( one of the albums real killer tracks).Other barnstorming tracks keep on coming (including the phenomenal Escape Artists Never Die---and this track/band certainly never will). Even the beautiful ballad Your Revolution Is A Joke is so magnificently performed/carried off and full of heartfelt emotion that as soon as the tracks have finished it leaves you with an irresistable urge/need to play them again.
As i am British, it is great that we now have a band that can actually stand comparision with the many superb US/Canadian bands in this field (and i cannot wait for their next tour/follow up record to this beauty.

5 out of 5 stars The best thing to come out of England since The Beatles.......2005-01-01

When I first heard of this band, it was in their early stages forming on the highly influential indie record label Ferret Records (think A Static Lullaby, Killswitch Engage, FATA). They have only improved since. As one fan states on FFAF's UK website, "I love FFAF like i love toast." And the English do love their toast. FFAF comes at the listener full force with all the trappings of metal, emo, hardcore, punk, and even throws in the occasional acoustic melody. The lead singer, Matt Davies, exhibits a full range of vocal capability ranging from the metal like sing-screaming in "The Getaway Plan" (on their first U.S. ep, "Seven Ways to Scream Your Name") to achieving barbershop harmonies in "Your Revolution is a Joke." The rest of the band is technically perfect in their execution, and unlike most bands of their genre (if you must give them a genre), the chorus' are executed using riffs void of the usual powerchords, instead substituting complicated arpeggios at times when the listener least expects it. The added fact that the rest of the band sings as well only adds on to the enjoyment you can expect from listening to this band. I have never really known exactly why i derive pleasure from listening to music, but by listening to this album, the answer seems in closer reach than it has ever been. I would recommend this album to anybody who is ready to experience something different from the norm of popular indie culture and be transported to a land where music has no boundries except for the ones that are set. In short, FFAF is the best thing to come out of England since the Beatles.
