There are very few bands left from this era of melodic hardcore (and for good reason; most of them are poop) but I couldn't be happier that Silverstein continues to be the torchbearers for the genre. I have a major soft spot for bands re-recording their old music and with how much Shane Told's vocals have improved over the life of the band, it's a hell of a treat to hear all of these seminal tracks with a fresh coat of paint. I know a lot of bands try to get really twisty (Face to Face) or go acoustic (Bayside) or something else when they get all retrospective, and I don't hate it by any stretch, but I'm completely happy with Silverstein just doing the same shit but way better (well, okay, one acoustic song). And they put this whole thing together on their own without any labels or anything! Just a pure labor of love. Hell yeah.
(They don't allow Bandcamp embeds for some reason but you can find it on Bandcamp here!)
