This is what I FEEL.

I’ve loved and supported SWS from day 1, and still do. I also gave the
album a good listen 6 times over so I’m not just posting a review without
knowing what I am reviewing.

I honestly did not “FEEL” this album. I think it
is their worst release they’ve ever done. The acoustic EP, lets cheers to this
and WETSAETH were perfect masterpieces and amazing works of art!!!! D:

Musically it is lazy; they changed from their heavy post
hardcore sound which everyone has grown to love and went to a more generic,
lighter rock sound (with the occasional heavier part). Many of the songs are
very catchy, and heavily relay on choruses. I think this change of sound was
not sleeping with sirens growing as a band, but to fatten their wallets and to
get on the radio.

Lyrically it is not
THEM either. They never use to curse so much. Kellen has sung “d**n” a few
times and “bull s***” one other time in the course of all sws’s releases (not
counting the f**k you cover). But in feel they say all of the above and the F
bomb is dropped quite a few times too. They never had sexual content either
like on (Dajavu). Nor did they act cocky
and like they’re the best (The best there ever was)

Now, it’s not that I
care about cursing, or sexual content or any of that. What bothers me about
this is the fact that they have not established themselves as that kind of
band. They were the band who had positive lyrics which has helped many people
though their struggles and hard times in life, saying “Don’t give up because
you’re losing (Hold on)” and the like. A few songs are good on feel, but none
are as good nor have the heart of any from the previous albums.

So when you put it all together, it seems as if sleeping
with sirens has lost touch with who THEY are. It seems like they made this CD
not for us fans, but for SALES and to get on the radio. Why would they suddenly
change to an easier sound? Post-hardcore is rarely (if ever) played on public
BIG radio stations and is less accepted among the general population. I predict
feel will sell more than their other albums and gain them much popularity in
the mainstream music scene. I could also see them play on live TV now too.

At this rate, their next CD will be completely different
100%. No similar meaningful lyrics or any screaming (even in the
background). At the moment it seems
sleeping with sirens is pursuing money
and fame, not saving lives with music.

I’m not saying feel is not enjoyable, it is pleasant to the
ear and there are a few goo songs on it. But if you take a deeper look as I
have, you’ll see more has changed besides the sound…

Completely agree.

Yeah, that is what I’m hoping too….
