NOTES
....................................................
As I Lay Dying is one of many, many bands to throw
their hat into the Swedish-influenced metal-hardcore
ring in the early 2000s, joining fellow metal-label
signees as God Forbid and Shadows Fall (Century Media)
and Killswitch Engage (Roadrunner), among many others.
Frail Words Collapse is a solid example of its genre,
carrying the stereotypical hallmarks of harmonized
dual-guitar riffing (often reminiscent of In Flames or
Iron Maiden), heavy double-bass drumming, and roaring
vocals that occasionally slip into a melodic,
clean-voiced emo style. There are also a few more
dissonant, "technical" passages that nod toward
Converge and their ilk. While not an obvious clone of
any other specific band, As I Lay Dying doesn't really
add anything new to the mix from a musical standpoint.
Then again, the songs here are solid enough and well
executed, and the production is adequate (if a little
too clean and digital sounding). This album will appeal
mostly to devoted fans of the genre who are looking for
another slight variation on the In Flames-influenced
metal-hardcore style.
