Perspective plays a key role in Silverstein's new album, "Discovering The Waterfront." It is a central theme in songs that explore self-determination and coping with change. Addiction to negative relationships is another recurrent theme, from the opening track; "Your Sword Versus My Dagger" to "My Heroine," lyricist/vocalist Shane Told is beyond candid as he tells stories of obsession, hopelessness and ultimately redemption. The music is flawlessly executed, with powerful instrumentation and the melodic/raw vocal juxtaposition that Told delivers seamlessly. Silverstein formed in Burlington, Ontario, on the outskirts of Toronto in 2000. Emerging from the thriving hardcore scene in their hometown, the band began honing their sound, and recording whenever possible. Two EPs followed and a former member of Grade began talking the band up to his friends at Victory Records. The band signed with Victory shortly afterward. They released "When Broken Is Easily Fixed" which went on to sell over 200,000 copies worldwide, earning the band a spot in Alternative Press' 100 Bands You Need To Know in the spring of 2005. Review: Such a iconic album - This is the definition of great post-hardcore music. I don't know how I didn't find out about them sooner. The fact that they have no really bad lyrics is a plus too, bad lyrics can ruin a musically great album. Their lyrics are beautiful and emotional, in fact I would say some of the best lyrics in a this genre. The album sounds great, the vocals, screams, drums, guitar and everything. I also love how in the booklet there are notes from the singer (Shane Told) on what every song is about, I don't know if this is only in the deluxe reissue, which is the version I have, but it is very neat. My favorite tracks would have to be, Smile in your sleep, Ides of march, Discovering the waterfront (Which is my favorite), Already dead, and Call it karma. Anyone who likes this style needs to own this, even if you think you don't like silverstein, trust me you will not regret it. This is a band who puts real emotion,and real thought, into there music, so support them and buy this album. Review: Great album. - Condition was great. I was so happy to be able to get this product. Very cool looking and sounds great. Overall this was a great buy.

Buena edición de color con master agradable en general (posiblemente lo más debil son frec altas)
Consegui tambien el de shipwreck in the sand y este suena mejor en 2 sentidos cuando menos: en que tiene más volumen creo que derivado de que son menos minutos por lado y en que el ruido superficial es considerablemente menor en este, prácticamente se oye si acaso un par de pops o clicks menores por lado, posiblemente menos que eso. Me llegó el de color grey putty que es un gris con marmoleado de unos cuantos colores en bajas proporciones como morado/rosa, azul marino y grises mas claros. No es el color más atractivo de la historia pero sí posiblemente más atractivo que muchos otros colores lisos, igual creo que ya de entrada que sea de color es más llamativo que a que sea el clásico negro sobre todo si no se afecta la calidad de reproducción que en mi opinión ese es el caso. Trae un inserto con las letras y créditos de las canciones de una sola página y pues la funda interior sólo de papel áspero por lo que se recomienda cambiar o reforzar internamente con otra funda de plástico. Lo recomiendo más que la edición del Shipwreck in the Sand cuando menos, si ya conoces este album y te gusta creo que te sería de una calidad bastante aceptable, agregándole el factor coleccionismo del vinil de color y si esta a buen precio, mucho mejor.

Un des meilleurs albums du groupe
Discovering the Waterfront est sans doute l'album qui a fait passer un cap à Silverstein, tant par ses thèmes abordés, le soin apporté aux accompagnements musicaux, ainsi qu'à la variance de voix du chanteur. Les morceaux sont travaillés et respirent la maîtrise, qui pouvait parfois manquée précédemment. Le groupe confirme tout le bien qu'on pourrait attendre par le biais de leurs anciennes productions, et nous amène ici un classique de Post rock à réécouter encore et encore.
