I thought it was funny that a Canadian band used an image on their album cover of a washed up and destroyed amusement pier on the Jersey Shore. When I first saw that I was like “Is that Casino Pier after Sandy?” And it definitely is.
I think they started shifting more towards a Thrashier style on Today’s Empires and probably even more with each album?
Pretty much. I think their heaviest album is probably Failed States which is the second most recent album.
The list no one asked for of my ranking of their albums since Today’s Empire:
1.) Supporting Caste
2.) Potemkin City Limits
3.) Failed States
4.) Victory Lap
5.) Today’s Empire, Tomorrow’s Ashes
