About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

As I Lay Dying is one of many, many bands to throw their hat into the Swedish-influenced metal-hardcore ring in the early 2000s, joining fellow metal-label signees as God Forbid and Shadows Fall (Century Media) and Killswitch Engage (Roadrunner). Frail Words Collapse is a solid example of its genre, carrying the stereotypical hallmarks of harmonized dual-guitar riffing (often reminiscent of In Flames or Iron Maiden), heavy double-bass drumming, and roaring vocals that occasionally slip into a melodic, clean-voiced emo style. There are also a few more dissonant, "technical" passages that nod toward Converge and their ilk. The songs here are solid enough and well executed, and the production is adequate (if a little too clean and digital sounding). This album will appeal mostly to devoted fans of the genre who are looking for another slight variation on the In Flames-influenced metal-hardcore style. William York, All Music Guide

August 02, 2005: With this album, As I Lay Dying established themself as a musical force to be reckoned with. They are one of the best hardcore bands around. For this type of music, the songs are so catchy yet they still maintain a sense of anger and agression which keeps this genre alive. Thank you, AILD, for making a stellar, very listenable, hardcore album.

March 13, 2005: This album is truly amazing. Everything about it is great from the jaw dropping double bass (listen to 94 Hours and you'll hear what I'm talking about) to the great riffs, to Tim Lambesis' ultra hardcore voice. What makes As I Lay Dying so amazing is the technicality of their music. That really stands out in a genre full of bad musicians. They're an amazing band. So yeah I guess all I have left to say is... BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!
