- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

We Came As Romans place enormous emphasis on the positivity of the message in
  their music, and to be fair, it is a rather refreshing and encouraging
  perspective. It’s not, however, the most obviously brilliant thing about this
  album. You may stay for the keep-the-faith message, but you’ll show up in the
  first place for a rich and powerful release brimming with depth and sentiment.
  True, it’s a bit all over the place and packs everything but the kitchen sink
  into its songs, but they’re exceedingly lovely, and make a stirring impact.

For someone admittedly not acquainted with their earlier efforts, it takes a
  while to warm to the instant implosion of screaming and guitars here. It’s not
  bad, but it doesn’t do much to stand out or endear itself until the melodies
  arrive in the latter half of “Mis//Understanding.” The clean vocals of Kyle
  Pavone are beautifully clear and ethereal and give the song a vivid resonance
  that it would lack were it a more traditional rock song. The collision of
  symphonics with rock is a touch overpowering at first, but quickly becomes a
  defining and enhancing aspect of the music. “Everything As Planned” opens
  strikingly, with a very theatrical symphonic sweep underpinning a more
  plaintive rock song. The lush, grandiose score gives the song a real sense of
  heart, which the more visceral elements serve to complement and pronounce.

The melodies throughout act as a kind of calming influence, adding a
  harrowing, sentimental vibe. “What I Wished I Never Had” is a particularly
  primal and forceful track, excelling in its tough and commanding sound, but
  the melodies that float through it give it a sweeter and more accessible
  touch. “Cast the First Stone” is a heavy song with a haunted heart. Though it
  is fast, assured, even relentless, there are lots of atmospheric twinges
  ensuring that the song never quite remains what you expect it to be. “The Way
  That We Have Been” then introduces a string sample, further confounding
  expectations. The vocals waft in and out over a hazy sound, before a blast of
  carnage completely destroys the floaty intro. The two distinct styles come
  together towards the end for a huge crescendo which packs all the power and
  punch of a straight up metal track, but retains a graceful touch due to the
  strings.

The album maintains this general trend throughout, in a series of increasingly
  heavy songs fused to a more harmonious soul. It’s difficult to fault, as the
  tracks all sound fantastic, but it’s worth noting that this means there’s
  little in the way of individual stand outs. The record seems to be one that
  has to be appreciated as a whole, never really letting up or changing style
  for long enough to gain some diversity. Yet, as noted above, this isn’t
  necessarily something to fault. There are some beautiful decorative touches
  later on, as in “A War Inside” and “Just Keep Breathing” which both feature
  flashes of freewheeling piano to add a dextrous and poignant air to the music.
  The string section reappears throughout, most impressively perhaps on “What My
  Heart Held” and the final track “Understanding What We’ve Grown to Be.” It
  adds something of resolution to the rushing guitars and a grandiose, more
  theatrical style to the tracks. On the latter in particular, it provides a
  dramatic conclusion as the record goes out on a seminal high note.

We Came As Romans have, thus, navigated the troublesome sophomore (full
  length) album move with ease. The record is a consummately realised work,
  showing sublime artistry and vision. The use of symphonic elements in heavier
  music can be an acquired taste but here the band have illustrated the flair
  and style that it can add. Individual songs or singles mightn’t seem as easy
  to appreciate, but as a whole, the album is a triumph.
