The album shows ambition but reflects common issues in modern alternative rock, trying to appeal to broad audiences yet not fully reestablishing the band’s legacy. Some tracks stand out, but the overall work leaves mixed feelings. Discover Silverstein’s evolving sound on ‘A Beautiful Place To Drown’ and judge the mix of post-hardcore and pop-punk yourself!
