Thinking about going to their In Love and Death show this month. That would be an awesome nostalgia trip.

Honestly super interested in what new music is going to sound w/ Justin in the band. I saw them at Taste of Chaos last year and was actually blown away at how great of a show it was
This new live CD is actually kind of re-sparking my interest in them. Of course, it's mostly their old songs but he sounds real good.
I wish I still liked these guys. I remember going to see them at local shows in Provo, Utah. I just couldn't get in to anything after In Live and Death. And their live act sounds pretty rough with Jeph screaming.... I dunno I always listen to their newest efforts in hopes of liking it though
the_used_fan is missing out! Love the first two albums and some of the 3rd. Is Artwork worth revisiting? It used to get a bit of praise on AP.
Tbh talking about it here has made me realize I need to go back and revisit it myself and see if I still remember it as fondly but yeah he does on some songs but not very much.
Artwork is pretty under rated imo Vulnerable may be my personal fave but I think Lies For The Liars is their best when it comes to songwriting and production etc.
Cool to hear that. I also think it's a good record (despite not being among my favorites by them). Which songs do you like in it?
It's a very special record to me, it has a positive message that I needed to hear at the time. My favorites are Hands and Faces, Shine, I Come Alive and Together Burning Bright probably.
Agree with all the Artwork love, I've been behind that album since it dropped! I'm listening to Live & Acoustic At The Palace right now, it's fine enough, but I think acoustic albums should probably not be live, there's a lot of crowd in this one
Re-listening to Artwork almost done and yes I def still stand behind my statement. Sidenote: Berth is great and I normally don't like live CD's but I don't mind that one. I remember winning a contest on a site called EmotionalPunk I think it was back in the day and I won a copy of Berth and Lies for the liars but I never got them so lame.
