you're welcome Cameron  . the emotional roller coaster that Derek can create with the early 20th century colloquialism is nothing short of jaw dropping. the acoustic tracks are some of the best songs they have ever written. the sheer depth that they've plunged into solidifies their position atop the hardcore mountain. it's twice as good as Travels, and Travels is a classic. |

The "story" is my favorite so far but i cant say the same for the music. The acoustic tracks are a big plus though. Now i dont have to fast forward prophit in plain clothes when im in the mood. Musically, I would take Sluts and both albums over this new one. Maybe I just need to listen more.

Defeater's new stuff isn't as good as Lost Ground in my opinion From what I have heard so far I concur...but I'm going to wait till I get the new Vinyl in and spin it a few good times before I'm 100% on that |

Though there are still new bands around that make me all excited about hardcore, none of them manages to release a record that make me want to listen to only that one record for a week in a row. However great a record may be there are still enough other records I want to hear in a week.
Defeater is probably the exception to that rule. I have to admit that the first time I heard 'Empty Days', I was a bit dissapointed. After the 'Lost Ground' ep I expected the band to come up with ten versions of 'The Red, White and Blues' I guess and they didn't.
'Dear Father' is a song that could have been on the 'Lost Ground' ep but tracks like 'Empty Glass' and 'White Oak Doors' show a band that has progressed from their 'Travels' debut and dare to go further. Some parts of those songs remind me a bit of Touche Amore's 'To The Beat Of A Dead Horse' while other songs give me the same feeling as I had when I first heard American Nightmare's debut 7".
With 'Empty Days' Defeater probably released one of the best records of 2011 and one of those few classics that come around each year. If that's not enough there's also 'Sleepless Nights' four great acoustic songs which are as good as any material by Chuck Ragan or other punkrock singersongwriter hot shots. 'I Don't Mind' is a song that finds a place in your mind and doesn't leave for days.
Defeater might not appeal to everyone who's into classic hardcore, but if you're open to a band that has the courage to step outside the borders I doubt you will find anything better then these Boston boy

Fucking love this. The story is amazing, and musically, the album is almost flawless. Preordered the vinyl, can't wait to spin this shit. I didn't have high expectations, but I think I honestly like it just as much, if not more than Travels.
