Luckily, this is perhaps something they will learn over time. The main problem with the album, however, isn't the use of electronic elements, or the over reliance on breakdowns. It's not even how 'generic' the album is, sticking so closely to the template used by the bands peers. Instead, the real problem is that in doing so, it's hard to get rid of the inescapable feeling that you have heard this all before, only better, somewhere else. By offering nothing different from the many other bands doing this exact formula, they have opened themselves up for direct comparison to bands that are simply far better at it than them.
Bands who contain better lyrics, song structure and instrumentation. Bands who they simply cannot come close to. That's not to say there is anything wrong with being 'generic', is not always a bad thing.
They only have to look as far as fellow Metalcore act Memphis May Fire to see that you don't need to be innovative, you just have to be good enough at the genre to rise above the rest.
At The Skylines fail on all account, making an album that is repetitive and contains no lasting value at all. They should take a long hard look at whether this is really the sort of material they can be proud of, because there is nothing worth listening to here. Tweet Recent reviews by this author.
