The self titled debut album from the 5 piece have been given a re-release.
Alexisonfire have a good concept going here, contrasting melodic, sweet tunes and vocals with heavy, hardcore riffs and shouting but the overall scope is a little disapointing.
It’s not that it’s a bad album and Alexisonfire are talented musicians, it’s just that they are shadowed under bands such as My Chemical Romance have done it better.

I really wanted to like this band (For the simple fact that they have my name in their name) but Alexisonfire isn’t an album I would want to replay over and over.
Highlights though include, ‘Counterparts And Number Them’ and ‘Pulmonary Archery’
Like I said before, a good album but it’s been done better elsewhere.
