If you were to add " Dive In" to the tracklisting of the band's debut, it would be the strongest song on the album. " Besitos", "The Boy Who." or " Bulls in the Bronx"). There aren't as many fills, or fun verses (i.e. Mike also seems to have been given a short stick, as most of his beats are standard emo "hi-hat, snare, hi-hat, snare" lines. Now while that is acceptable on some songs (you want the vocalist to be center stage for more intimate, personal songs), it is not on others where you'd want to hear more of Tony Perry's fast picking or Jaime's bass lines. A smattering of tracks are well mixed, balancing each member's part. The album's production is also lacking a sense of unity. Which is a shame, since the band's heavier songs have proven to be some of their better (" Hell Above", "Bulls in the Bronx", and " Caraphernalia").
You get more songs like " I'm Low on Gas.", " Tangled in the Great Escape", " Disasterology" and " Fast Times at.". Overall the album ventures into the band's more experimental, emo-pop styles. Can't guarantee more reviews like this in the future, but if you enjoyed this format let us know! To buy the album on iTunes click this (link). It's finally here! The long awaited 4th album from San Diego natives, Pierce the Veil! We "held on till may", and now can finally sit back and enjoy all that is " Misadventures".
