THE REVIEW
The EP "There's No Sympathy For The Dead", although clearly spawned (analmente you might say) solely with the intent of making money, was a good Emo/Metalcore record.
This "Dying Is Your Latest Fashion" instead is a massive piece of crap. Rushed out to ride the wave of a genre that perhaps at Epitaph they sense is taking its last breaths, it truly is a shitty record. And I say this as a fan of screamopop!
The only tracks worth saving are those taken from the EP, namely "The Guillotine" and "There's No Sympathy For The Dead", plus the decent opener "The Webs We Weave". The rest is frankly way too schmaltzy, fake, plastic, boring, overdone, annoying even for someone who loves this genre as much as I do.

Their post-hardcore is very interesting, however.
The conclusion of the CD is magnificent: 'The Day I Left the Womb' wonderfully concludes the album: an acoustic song with a really beautiful lyric, sung wonderfully.
