And here we are talking about one of the most beautiful albums of the last decade. "Alexisonfire", for many, is the classic slick band that managed to ride the trend of playing "Metalcore" / "Post Hardcore" by infusing choruses with melody. In reality, the "Alexisonfire" of "Watch Out" is much more; just discover the small intelligent nuances that make this masterpiece a success, and it will be really easy to fall in love with it. Taking off the blinkers along with the earmuffs, we will find ourselves faced with simple but undeniably captivating guitar "Riffs", explosions of emotions just by listening to the two great voices: "George Pettit" and "Dallas Green", who manage to interact perfectly with each other with ethereal interludes to damnably explosive screams, demonstrating an innate ability to do so. Every scream and every single note is dripping with passion, transport, and expertise, and everything is put together masterfully. All the members contribute to the best of their abilities, managing to create a "Platter" that is formidable.

The album kicks off with "Accidents" followed by "Control," tracks with hard yet absolutely catchy "Riffs," and continues further with one of the most beautiful pieces on the album: "Side Walk When She Walks," slick enough to love it in all its melody. Not forgetting to mention "Shark And Dangers," the most "Post Hardcore" track on the album, which starts with one of the most beautiful intros ever and then settles into arpeggios that will lead to a breathtaking finale. The entire album enjoys a stratospheric production and an inspiration that they weren't able to replicate even with the subsequent "Crisis," although the latter is still an enjoyable work. In "Watch Out," there are no "Fillers," everything flows wonderfully, and if you think that "Alexisonfire" is just another band fabricated to move the easiest and most carefree metalheads, well, you're greatly mistaken.

In short, an album that is incredible and that words could never fully explain.

Unmissable.
