Alexisonfire: Crisis

(Distort, 2006)

Discovery: See previous entry

Result: Enter the Alexisonfire album that sold me on the band. It remains my favourite AOF record, and brings back excellent memories of live shows, road trips, and singalongs. The near-perfect blend of heavy riffage, gorgeous vocal melodies and screaming that somehow sounds like singing. I love every song on Crisis (with the exception of the strange "You Burn First" which I love some days and hate the others) and am happy to rock out with the kids on this one.

Stand-out Tracks: "This Could Be Anywhere in the World", "Boiled Frogs", "Rough Hands"
