A Thorn for Every Heart

The Profile

A Thorn for Every Heart is an American emo/post-hardcore band formed in California in 2003. After the EP Silence Is Golden, they released the debut album Things Aren't So Beautiful Now; the follow-up It's Hard to Move You faced label issues before later surfacing.

The band is a Californian quartet. The debut album follows the EP Silence Is Golden and includes tracks such as "The Predication", "A Night To Remember, A Morning", "Streetcar", "Summer So Bleak", "99 With An Anchor", and the title track "Things Aren't So Beautiful Now, pt. 2".

One review tackles the debut Things Aren't So Beautiful Now, calling it conventional emo with solid production but limited originality. The critic notes metal-tinged moments, strings, and prog-metal hints, yet finds the album tiring after repeats. Vocals are judged inadequate for the arrangements. Overall verdict: competent but unoriginal.
