Rating: 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.

03 Situations (03:07)
The Situations are irrelevant now.
She loves the way that I tease,
I love the way that she breathes
I touched her ooohh,
she touched my ahhh,
it was the craziest thing.
I love the girls who hate to love because they're just like me.
A certain girl, she took my hand and ran it up her thigh.
She licked her lips and pulled my hair
I fall in love for a night.
She can't behave and I'm just a slave,
Don’t worry I'll be gone when the morning comes.
Darling, what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion.
Leave me, go where you belong,
Higher heels and lipstick napkins,
dying is your latest fashion.
The frustration, it's a regular thing
I hate the ones who love to hate because they're just like me.
A certain girl she took her hand and put in my lap
It's way too full she said "once you have me you'll always come back."
She can't behave and I'm just a slave,
Don’t worry I'll be gone when the morning comes.
Darling, what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
lying is your favorite passion
Leave me, go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins,
dying is your latest fashion.
I know you love to resist
and all it takes is a kiss
and you just love to hate me.
You know you love all the lies
so don’t act surprised
that I just love to hate you.
I kissed your lips, you pulled my hair
it was the craziest thing.
I love the girls who love to hate.
(Breathing)
(Whoa!) Darling, what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion
Leave me, go where you belong
higher heels and lipstick napkins
dying is your latest fashion
Darling,(leave me) what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion
Leave me (darling), go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins
dying is your favorite passion
09 Friends and Alibis (04:10)
Oh, I hate to be the one to bear the bad news
Yes, it is true
I finally fell in love
I fell so hard that I'm killing myself
Yes, I need out
Out of this grave that I've dug
And all the friends that I have gone through
And how much I deserve the pain
It's a shame
So hold your head
Hold it up high
Here's to the friends that were alibis
Keep this close by your side
When I come home we will have our night
Oh, they always told me I was gorgeous in a way
And that fateful day
I found who I was
So fill this hole with my prescriptions
I just keep feeding my addictions
And all the friends that I have gone through
And how much I deserve the pain
It's a shame
So hold your head
Hold it up high
Here's to the friends that were alibis
Keep this close by your side
When I come home we will have our night
We will have our night
You were the ones that stood by my side, whoa
And I was the one that fought all of your fights
Go!
(Hold your head, hold it up high) Whoa
(Keep this close by your side) Whoa
So hold your head
Hold it high
Here's to the friends that were alibis
Keep this close by your side
When I come home we will have our night
Hold your head
Hold it up high
Here's to the friends that were alibis
Keep this close by your side
When I come home we will have our night
Hold your head
Hold it up high
Here's to the friends that were alibis
Keep this close by your side
When I come home we will have our night
We will have our night

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.
