Twelve Hour Turn

I used to not really be a fan of this band. After giving this album a really solid listen this morning it really changed my mind.

A bit more mature and cohesive sounding on this release, Twelve Hour Turn kicks open the record with perfect opening track 'Water Under Bridges Rise'. Then, throughout the record you can hear Twelve Hour Turn's progression from their earlier material. There is more focus on consistency, stronger song writing, melody and attempt to separate themselves from the rest of the post-hardcore/screamo genre. They even take a shot of at writing a bit of a country song with the laid back, southern-influenced (duh) track 'I Was Raised To Break', where you can even hear a bit of slide guitar. I mean, can we talk about the harmonica solo on 'Don´t Let The Music Die, And Don't Replace Me'?

All and all, there's not much bad you can say about this record.

Dear Twelve Hour Turn,

It feels good to like you again.
Please come back.

Just as a bonus and because the other band on the split is so good, their split with I Hate Myself.
