Soliloquy - (10/10) This is just an intro but it's a damn good one. This line seems to sum up the entire album: "Hello world, suck the life right out of my voice and breathe it back into yourself."

The One Armed Boxer vs. The Flying Guillotine - (10/10) This was the first song I heard by them and remained so for quite some time. It's the most punkish song on the album and a great opener. Perfect blend of screams and tempo changes, I love it!

Note to Self - (10/10) This was my second favourite on the album. It's got an emo feel with angsty lyrics (see album title) "Two roads...Split off from here, and my life goes running in opposite directions. Exaggerating the barrier between who I am, and who I want to be."

I Liked You Better Before You Were Naked On The Internet - (8/10) This is almost like an intermission kind of track. It's cool, but it feels out of place, it should have been track 8 or something. P.S. The song title has nothing to do with the song.

Featuring Some Of Your Favorite Words - (10/10) Well, this is my current favorite song. It's got some of the best lyrics I've read in a long time. It's about how you can never but what you're thinking into the proper fitting words. It's truly amazing.

Emily - (7/10) Whoever arranged what order these songs went in should be shot. They shouldn't have had intermissionish song, then rocker, then acoustic. It just doesn't flow. As for the song it's not up to par with the rest of the album. It's got the weakest lyrics and the singing doesn't fit the gorgeous guitar part.

Secrets Don't Make Friends - (9/10) Lyrics are awesome. Sonny (lead singer) kind of sounds like Bert from The Used in this. Maybe I'm crazy. I only gave it a 9 because my expecatations are set so high from tracks 2, 3, and 5. This is still awesome.

Populace In Two - (10/10) This song is so awesome. The lyrics are as emo as they come, but in a rocking kinda way. "Even if I spend 2004 listening to Morrisey in my car.
I'm better off alone than I would be in your arms." Greatest lines on the album.

Kiss Me, I'm Contagious - (10/10) The most hardcore song on the entire album and definitely the most fun to rock out to. The lyrics are funny as hell as well. It's about cowboys. Hehehe. This song makes Alexisonfire look like The Cure.

Ride The Wings Of Pestilence - (10/10) If you're feeling sadistic, read the lyrics to this song. It's pretty gruesome! But it's still an awesome way to end the album. "I've been dreaming about you in a pool of your own blood. Your eyes gouged out by the work of my thumbs." !NOTE!: Keep all knives, scissors, and any other sharp object away from these guys.

[Hidden Track] - 10/10 Haha what is this a rap cover? This is pretty damn cool and the lyrics are funny. I don't really like the rapper at the end of it but it's still awesome.

Buy this CD right now. Other than the fact that the order of the songs should be re-arranged this is an awesome buy. Besides, you can program it to whatever order you want on your CD player.

FFTL is easilly one of the most diverse bands of their genre. It's all here- Emo, emocore, post-hardcore, metal, and even acoustics.

In short this album will have you thinking your listening to a compilation of various emo/emocore/post-hardcore/pop-punk bands.
I found that even though the album is constantly changing pace, I still found myself enjoying songs from genre's like techno pop on this CD.

Even if you just like Emo, or Emocore, don't shy away just because of the acoustib tracks or the different stuff. Your going to like it all.

FFTL has a lot of humor in this one, obviously they're making a comic play on the whole teen angst thing. They take a different view on it than most other bands. In some songs it's hard to tell if they really have the emotion there or if they're just poking fun at it. It's funny.

Well....here's ur track by track review be-atch.
I review hard so...


track 1-intro-soliquey---4/10---this isn't even really a track it's just an intro that trails into track 2. But it is kinda cool.

track 2-the one armed boxer VS the...---8.5---this is easilly one of the better songs on here. It's fast as hell and a great precursor to the rest of the cd. Sort of like a telling of what's to come.

track 3-Note to self---8/10---this is the song that got me into this band. It's another really great song but not their best. More of a catchy feel that hits you hard the first time and keeps reminding you how pissed Sonny is.

track 4-I liked you better before you were naked on the internet---6/10---this is my least fav track on here. It's a basicly a techno pop song that is really different from the rest of the CD. Still, it's a cool song.

track 5-featuring some of your favorite words---8.5/10---a fast hardcore song about writers block. The singing is very catchy.

track 6-Emily---8/10---yeah it's an acoustic song about a chick named Emily, (Sonny's long distance girlfriend). Despite the displaced awkwardness in an acoustic track here, this is a true emo anthem.

track 7-Secrets don't make friends---8.7/10---this song is better than the 8.5 but not quite to 9. It only truly shines at the end where Sonny and the backup screamers go in and out trading off an assault of "secrets dont make friends"

track 8-populace in two---7.5/10---nothing super special here. Just a breakup song with some really good lyrics.

track 9---kiss me i'm contagious---9/10---this song will shatter you. It's the only true screamo/emocore song on here but they do it so well! It has an old west theme and the whole thing is just good.

track 10-minuet---7.5/10---an acoustic inturlude...very beutiful. It's just a pretty song.

track 11-ride the wings of pestilence---9.5/10---best song on here. Go watch the video now if you don't know what i'm talking about. It's a total teen angst anthem. lyrics like: "dear diary my teen angst bull**** has a bodycount, I believe it's six going on seven now"

track 12-untitled---7.5/10---um...it's a weird song...with rapping. But it's still good.

I hate this band, as well as the bands other screamo counterparts such as Hawthorne Heights and Atreyu...they all suck! It seems like all the chords and everything is exactly the same, all there music is totally repetitious and dull, and besides that, there is no originality whatsoever. Oooh cut my wrists cut my wrists Im sooo Emo... STFU and get lives guys.
Don't waste your money on any of this crap.
