Two-thirds of
were born in 1977, which means that their latter-day
isn't very Catholic. Instead of sticking to the rigid rules of American
-- which means you can't stretch the song past three minutes --
take a cinematic approach to their songs, throwing in elements of
,
, post-
, and post-
. It's a melting pot of
styles, basically because the members of the band are so young, they haven't conformed to the standards of the indie and
subcultures. Sure,
still use loud guitars -- they're all over
-- but they create a distinctive, melodic, and energetic sound that's equal parts heavy
and light
. And while they may indulge in jamming a bit too much, they remain a
band at heart, capable of turning out epic
like
and the lovely but loud
with equal flair. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
