This album is evidence that metalcore can be exciting. Over the past seven years I heard many metalcore albums, but Frail Words Collapse is sheer aggression that will pump the adrenaline into your veins! The opening track 94 Hours has topped the mp3.com metal charts for a long time. It's probably the catchiness of aggression and the perfect blend of hardcore and metal in this song that made it so popular for downloaders. Not every song on this album is equally aggressive though. As I Lay Dying is a comparatively young band (started in 2001) but the members are experienced musicians that played in bands such as Society's Finest and Edge Of Mortality. The production is excellent. I really like songs as 94 Hours, The Beginning, Collision and A Thousand Steps. A real must-have for metalcore fans.
