As Cities BurnHell or High Water (2009)Tooth & Nail Records Reviewer Rating: User Rating: Contributed by: Brian (others by this writer | submit your own) Published on June 2nd 2009
As Cities Burn started on the Solid State roster as playing a sound that was pretty typical of the label -- melodic, metallic, slick and screamy post-hardcore á la Beloved. They took an even more melodic turn on their following album, but now, with their third full-length, Hell or High Water is quite an unprecedented progression.

I'll reiterate what Allular said. You can find "Gates" on plenty of blogs. Get it and it makes this album that much better. The epic ending was on "Gates", the last song on the iTunes release, which should've been on the physical release. They've been playing the song since their "last" tour in 2005. The fans who bought the cd (like myself) got shafted. Find it online and you have your epic ending. Very good album, I liked Come Now Sleep better, but this is almost as good. Into the Sea is now one of my favorites by them. "minimally maintains mildly mesmerizing moments." This band sucks now bottom line I actually liked Come Now Sleep a lot. | Features
