Hawthorne Heights - ZeroHawthorne Heights - ZeroRelease Date: June 25, 2013Record Label: Red Entertainment
The first time I heard Hawthorne Heights, I didn't much like them. Being honest, I thought their debut album, 2004's The Silence in Blackand White, fell into the same trap as a lot of debuts -- many of the songs sounded the same...

Hawthorne Heights - Zero

AP Rating:
When we last left Hawthorne Heights, the Dayton, Ohio, quartet were two EPs deep into a three-part collection. Since then, the group have added a fifth member, guitarist Mark McMillion, and seemingly ditched the third EP in favor of their fifth-full-length...

Hawthorne Heights usually garner a lot of flak from music fans, but in between some of the generic and mundane stuff, they do manage the arbitrary single or three that ain't too shabby at all. I guess it's that nostalgia in me toward the days when Victory used them, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday and Silverstein to much better musical effect. Zero isn't their best material, and it isn't that impressive on the whole, but it's not as bad as many would assume off the cuff...

Release Date: June 25, 2013 "Oh, how the mighty have fallen..." At least, that's what I would say, given I was having a conversation with the 8th grade version of myself regarding Hawthorne Heights' latest effort, the aptly titled Zero. Having recently taken more of an alternative rock/pop-punk styling with their music in comparison to the post-hardcore leanings Hawthorne Heights was founded on, there are plenty of redeeming musical moments throughout Zero, but unfortunately not nearly...

The first time I heard Hawthorne Heights, I didn't much like them. Being honest, I thought their debut album, 2004's The Silence in Blackand White, fell into the same trap as a lot of debuts -- many of the songs sounded the same. 2011's EP Hate piqued my interest in the band again, and last year's Hope only reaffirmed it...

When we last left Hawthorne Heights, the Dayton, Ohio, quartet were two EPs deep into a three-part collection. Since then, the group have added a fifth member, guitarist Mark McMillion, and seemingly ditched the third EP in favor of their fifth-full-length. Billed as a concept album, Zero tells the story of a group of idealistic young rebels who band together to rage against a tyrannical corporation that's invaded their middle-America hometown...

As an individual who listens to music on nearly a constant basis, one of my greatest pleasures lies in hearing a band I had lost interest in make good music again. It doesn't have to be a perfect comeback or an exact return to form, but witnessing the improvement of a band that's disappointed me in the past is always exciting. For a while back around 2004, Hawthorne Heights were huge and adored by many only to be dismissed by most of the world a few years later...

Four earnest-looking young men have produced a very earnest-sounding album that explores all the usual guy stuff: insecurity, messed up romances, and a world that hates them or at least feels that way. Believing the world hates you is more reassuring than the truth: the world barely knows you exist. So, the best thing to do is pound out some heartfelt rock and roll.Hawthorne Heights bounces up to the edge of metal, but never crosses over, preferring to stick with downer pop...

Hawthorne Heights are back with the second EP in their three-album-trilogy: Hope. While Hate showcased their fury, frustration and aggression, Hope is a more melodic and optimistic-filled EP (not quite a hippy album, though), exploding with lung-bursting anthems and heart-melting hooks. Much like the trend started with Hate, this second instalment of this trilogy proves the DIY route has been the rebirth of HH...
