"yeah ill admit the first time i started to listen to this cd about half way through i turned it off and yelled what the hell is this (...) then a few months later i decided to give it another shot and i actually found a lot to enjoy in this album. they still have most of the elements they had in their first cd, which is a true classic in this genre of music, just a lot more clean singing added to it. if you actually listen to the music in itslelf it is so much better than dont forget to breathe, the guitars on this cd are really well done as forthe drums too. even the clean singing is a lot better on this than their last cd, not better as in superior but it just sounds cleaner very well harmonized. now i absolutely loved their first cd and i didnt really expect them to release another one just like it and not because of their signing to a major label either. these guys were so young when they recorded that first cd and its been a few years so obviously they are going to grow and mature as musicans and people. anyway im not going to change anybodys mind cause hardcore and dont forget to breathe fans that are dead set on hating this will never change but for anyone who is looking for a solid record from a great band this is a great choice. i really liked the song shotgun not sure if thats the exact title but you can tell which one im talking about."

Very balanced and well written

"From the introduction straight through to the end, Faso Latido just kicks you in the face and makes you wanna scream and nod your head. The cd is filled with epic singing that harmonizes about half the time and usually finishes with screaming that carries the sound to a higher level. The bass takes off a lot and leaves the guitars intertwining or alternating or both. Theres a few solos here and there that just rock. Overall the songs are very happy and UPLIFTING with some deep slow parts that grab a hold of you and take you for a ride. I love when bands slow the singing down, as ASL does, while everything behind them keeps going. Finch does this in their new album. If you like Faso Latido then check out 'Say Hello to Sunshine'. Its funny, one of the reviews said the only song they liked was radio flyers because its the closest song to the old ASL. That happened to be the one song i didnt care for on the album and i like the old ASL. Just goes to show, people hear music completely differently.





When i saw that this album was given 3 stars, I was a little shocked and disappointed. If your a fan of Don't Forget To Breath, and who isnt, then maybe your looking for the old hard fast ASL. But as its been said many times, bands have one by one been moving from their traditional roots to more of a toned down sound; blindside, avenged sevenfold, and underoath to name a few. They may have gotten softer, but theyve all grown in many ways. When youre listening to music, listen to it until you UNDERSTAND it before you decide you dont like it. THIS USUALLY TAKES AT LEAST 2 OR 3 LISTENS!!!!!!!!! this is so crucial. youll find so much more music you wouldve passed over.



Ive been listening to this cd for months now and it just keeps getting better and better. Definitely one of my favorite albums."
