If there ever were a band so complicatedly quaint--caught between the boundaries of such trends from which they gained their platform, and the true propensities at the very core of the group, seldom embraced, yet hinted at, time and again--Senses Fail would unequivocally be it. Since emerging in the all-ages/DIY scene at the height of the early aughts' sing-scream convergence of screamo and metalcore, the band has deliberately embarked on a slow metamorphosis of public perception which, coupled...

Release Date: March 26th 2013 There are a lot of bands in music today that I've always wanted to get into, but for whatever reason, I didn't. A few bands I can name off the top of my head that I've always wanted to get into were Say Anything, Three Days Grace, and finally, NJ post-hardcore band Senses Fail. This is a band that I've seen a lot, but for whatever reason, they always went past my radar...

It's hard to believe that Senses Fail have been doing their thing for ten years. From a musical casting call over the internet to this, the best of Senses Fail; aptly titled "Follow Your Bliss", it's been a long road, and they've lost a few members along the way, but it's a road that's been well traveled, and one you can see clearly on this compilation...

During the weeks leading up to the release of Senses Fail's new album, Renacer, a lot of people have been using terms like "rebirth" or "renewed" to describe the change of pace in Senses Fail's sound. While those phrases certainly fit into a nice, tidy narrative for some, the reason why Senses Fail has released its best album ever is because they have nothing to lose...

4/5 Forget what you think you know about Senses Fail because Renacer sees the band burying their pop tendencies beneath breakdowns so brutal that even Hatebreed fans will be sated. Recorded with Far guitarist Shaun Lopez, the album sees vocalist Buddy Nielsen screaming like an NYHC veteran as the band mirrors his aggression via the sonic assault of tracks like "Holy Mountain" and "Courage Of The Knife...

Ah, New Jersey. The Garden State has taken some lumps in recent years courtesy of the bozos from The Jersey Shore, but the music that has emanated from the state has been indisputably top-notch for the longest. Popular music has always been represented, whether it be Frank Sinatra and Frankie Valli making their mark decades ago or Whitney Houston dominating in recent eras...

Much like their peers in Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail may have surprised some people with how they've outlasted their post-hardcore/scene peers. And just like the Ohio quartet, the guys in Senses Fail are still unleashing some of their best work. And after facing some early career label drama and hype, the New Jersey quintet has released solid album after solid album, and they finally get to celebrate that fact with their best-of collective, the aptly titled Follow Your Bliss...

Sound: On their 3rd full-length album Life Is Not A Waiting Room, Senses Fail delivers 12 tracks that, although do tend to branch out into styles every once in a while, stays relatively true to the band's classic sound. Producer Brian McTernan was once again brought into the studio, and he does seem to be an expert at creating a larger-than-life, sleek sound. The guitars always come to the forefront, and the final mixer did them a great service...
