CD Description
A hard-touring Ohio band with a debut record that didn't reach the Billboard charts until a full seven months after itsinitial 2004 release, Hawthorne Heights plays a bracing brand of emo rock. The group combines the punky tunefulness andspeedy rhythms of the Descendents with a heavy, prog-influenced sound that owes more to the "math rock" and "screamo" scenes. "Silver Bullet" begins with complex Rush-like start-stop unison fills, before giving way to an ultra-catchy chorus that would make fellow Midwesterners Cheap Trick smile, while "Ohio Is for Lovers" adds a healthy dose of guttural throat-shredding over lyrics that examine love and death. "NikiFM" uses metallic riffing and careening lead guitars to evoke a seemingly obsessive relationship. Equal parts raging post-hardcore and gentle melodicism, THE SILENCE IN BLACK AND WHITE is a dynamic, appealing emo album.
Customer Reviews
bloody brilliant
This album is a must have for emo/screamo you have to get this album i bought it on just hearing 'ohio is for lovers' and i love this album if you get one album this year make it HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS!!!
Good..but not spectacular
I must admit i got this album on the strength of one song which is not what i usually do but, never the less, i took it home and listened to it. It struck me straight away that the song i had heard, Ohio is for Lovers, was one of the strongest on the album, however some of the other songs paled into insignificance. Despite a good sound, a singer with a good voice and some really good hooks this album is nothing spectacular, however it still regularly spends time in my CD player, this is a good addition to fans of this sort of music yet it will not change your opinion on the genre as it is nothing ground breaking. Still worth buying though.
AWESOME!!!!!
This is one of the best albums i have ever heard. Ever track is brilliant. i must admit it took a bit of time to grow on me but now i cant stop listening to it. Their new album released on 27th Feb is also worth a listen, both great records, tho silence in black and white is the outright winner. Buy the album and see them live, they are wicked live!!!
