РІР‚СљOne May ArmyРІР‚Сњ with itРІР‚в„ўs placement on the album feels like the РІР‚СљThe StraysРІР‚Сњ from Madness. There are peaks and valleys because it feels like some of the more poppy elements to the first half are heavy on being an anthem. In sequencing, itРІР‚в„ўs almost that the songs meld together РІР‚вЂњ where the band really empathizes their need for a more mainstream sound. Both songs fit in the narratives as a rallying cry for the РІР‚СљforgottenРІР‚Сњ, both acknowledging it and using it as a badge of honor. In songs like РІР‚СљTroubleРІР‚Сњ and РІР‚СљCheersРІР‚Сњ, thereРІР‚в„ўs the boom-clap rhythmic element where the guitars are toned down in order to highlight the innate catchiness of the chorus. Gang vocals at like the center piece and a song like РІР‚СљLegends,РІР‚Сњ the first single from the album is a good litmus test of this. The first part of the album follows a similar script within the structures of songs. His vocals serve as a melodic unifying puzzle piece for an album that is more melodic and less emphasis on the higher pitch in previous albums.

Gossip puts SWS even farther away from itРІР‚в„ўs building block of 2010РІР‚в„ўs With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear. Madness became a primer between the bandРІР‚в„ўs post-hardcore past and itРІР‚в„ўs penchant for something more mainstream. Sleeping With Sirens strives to begin again, a new label in tow ( Warner Brothers Music) and a new outlook in what horizons are set forth towards the future.Р’В If you look through the bandРІР‚в„ўs discography, itРІР‚в„ўs been a slow march to the uniformed sound of their newest album. Even a headlining spot on the 2016 iteration of Vans Warped Tour seems so long ago. In order to grow, you have to let go the places you hold on to the most. Certain types of lyrical themes donРІР‚в„ўt fit the way they used to or a certain sound doesnРІР‚в„ўt fit like that flannel shirt you used to wear when you were a kid.

A symbiotic relationship in aging when it comes to life and music.
