Bring Me The Horizon - Drown
HUGE transformation with BMTH's newest single. I openly welcomed Sykes singing in Sempiternal, and it's even gotten better. I'm curious as to what the rest of their upcoming work is going to look like, but I feel like they're changing with the times, and this could just keep them in the ring for some while. Good job fellas.

Brand New - Sowing Season(Lyrics)
So much energy in this song that just explodes so randomly. Blew my mind the first time I listened to it.

Record Collection (7"): Four Minutes Being Cool
Four Minutes Being Cool - Silverstein / August Burns Red Split
Side A: Silverstein - Coming Clean
Side B: August Burns Red - You Vandal
I got this record at Warped Tour along with August Burns Red's "Leveler" LP. It was there, and I didn't own a 45 at that point so I figured, why the hell not? and nabbed it for an extra $5. I'd later come to find that it sells online for around $30! Looks like I made quite the deal on this one. Plus it comes on this cool peach-creme color.
This first song by Silverstein, "Coming Clean" (originally performed by The Get Up Kids) is a pretty good one. I'm not too familiar with their material, but after listening to this song, it definitely makes me want to investigate a bit more. Sadly, I still have yet to do so. The B-side features "You Vandal" (originally performed by Saves The Day) by ABR. It's a pretty good song, but "Coming Clean" definitely outshines it.

Record Collection #12: August Burns Red - Leveler
I can't lie and say that I'm a huge fan of this album, but it's still a record that I can pull out of my collection and tell a story about.
August Burns Red - Leveler (2011)
1. Empire
2. International Cannon
3. Divisions
4. Cutting the Ties
5. Pangaea
6. Carpe Diem
7. 40 Nights
8. Salt & Light
9. Poor Millionaire
10. 1/16/2011
11. Boys of Fall
12. Leveler
Leveler is August Burns Red's 4th studio recording. It's a good album, but not one I was too crazy about after giving it a listen. We'll get more onto why later on, but first things first; If I'm not a huge fan of this record, why add it to the collection? Well that's because the vinyl pressing I have is apparently a Warped Tour Exclusive, so I jumped on it.
There are a couple things differing from this pressing and the original. Firstly is uses the alternate cover that was used for the special edition CD. In addition, the vinyl it'self is a minty green. I'm not certain that this wasn't sold anywhere else after the tour, but the merch guy told me that it was only being sold at Warped. With that kind of rarity, I had to get it. I know now that they have yet another pressing using the alt. cover, but its on an every cooler green and brownish swirl. I suppose I should mention that even though these pressings use the special edition cover art, they don't include the 4 bonus songs that are found on the CD.
Ok now onto the question that I opened this article with. It's not that it's a bad album by any means. Really, a lot of it is quite good. Songs like 40 Nights (sick ending) and Poor Millionaire are awesome. My problem with this record was that if somewhere were to shuffle songs from Leveler, with songs from their prior album, "Constellations", I wouldn't be able to tell which song was from which album. I was more involved in Constellations because it was fresh and new, but Leveler feels like much of the same. That's not to say the album isn't enjoyable, but nothings shines out from it for me.
