I had no idea this was coming, and it came as a wonderful surprise. I've always been fond of A Skylit Drive, partly because of the singer's capability at singing in an extremely high pitch, but also that his voice sounds so good in the blend of screaming and beautiful melodies.
Compared to Wires And The Concept Of Breathing, the previous album, which included a lot of clean vocals and soft songs, A Skylit Drive has gone over to being more Post-Hardcore than Rock again (even though there's still elements of it present).
As I'm a fan of funny song titles, I was looking forward to hearing Thank God It's Cloudy Cause I'm Allergic To Sunlight, and just as I predicted, it was one the best tracks on the album. It just seems like classic ASD. Brutal screams, beautiful clean vocals, and a nice little addition; some electronics!
The next song, Air The Enlightenment, comes as soothing rain. Ambient, clean, soft, delightful. It's placed at the exact right place on the tracklist since something like Air The Enlightenment was just what one needs: a little break from brutality. Too bad it's so short. The title track The Children Of Adelphia leaves nothing more to wish.
One of A Skylit Drive's best albums out there. Be sure to get it as soon as you can.
Best Track: The Children Of Adelphia
Score: 8/10
