Debut and first ever release from Glass Cloud, probably my favorite project Jerry roush has been in. Jerry’s vocal style in this band is my favorite he’s always done, his style was pretty sick in of mice and men and sky eats airplane but in this band it’s just better. This band kind of came in with a huge bang and impact, I didn't even know Jerry had another band until this released I was pretty excited to listen to this to say the least. This album is still one of my most played album mainly because there’s nothing to really hate on the album, it pure metalcore at its finest. Jerry’s cleans and screams are two different ranges which kind of make it much more exciting to listen to and its own icing on the cake. A few songs that stood out on this album have to be, Ivy & Wine, She Is Well And Nothing Can Be Ill, Memorandum.  She Is Well And Nothing Can Be Ill stood out mainly because the intro was a bit different from what the other songs sound like and the clean vocals have a bit different range then they do on the other songs. Memorandum kind of has that jazzy feel to it and it’s a slow song in with the melody and flow of the song, kind of makes it much more interesting to listen too as well.
Breakdown:
Cleans:  Jerry’s cleans might be one thing that makes people like his vocals the most, his screams are good but not as impressive as his clean vocals. His range is just so well and his voice fits with the flow of everything so well.
Screams: Jerry’s screams have always been something worth listening too, his style changed a little bit on this album but it’s still worth listening too.
Instruments: This band is a mixture of heaviness combined with softness to make up their own sound. They do a great job at it too, but the guitar and the way the guitar sounds kind of sets them apart from every other metalcore band.

Rating: 9/10
