New Jersey’s Senses Fail is back for another round with their smell, touch and sight still not functioning properly. Album number three is called “Life Is Not A Waiting Room” (thank god, because the chairs in those places are usually horrible) and on it they crank out a whole lot of poppunk meets emocore.
And it works great for these guys. Like a louder Taking Back Sunday or Saosin, they slave away over bouncy rhythms, melodic guitars and singalong choruses. “Family Tradition” and “Four Years” are two fine examples of songs that come out the speakers with a running start. But basically the entire album is one big adrenalin/sugar rush. Even if you don’t like this kinda music, Senses Fail’s cuts are simply too slick to stop. Those of you who are still mourning over the loss of The Movielife can rejoice, pick up “Life Is Not A Waiting Room” and watch the pain fade.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
