Story Of The Year - The Constant


With a fan base that always seems to be growing Story Of The Year seem to make better and better albums. The constant is the forth studio album to be released by the band on Epitaph.

It’s hard to find a good balance between screams and good vocals but this is something that the band seems to do quiet well. The way that they blend the vocals in just as the screaming ends is fantastic and it’s not like there is tons of screaming, as more and more bands seem to be taking a softer approach that is what Story Of The Year have done.

Although being a great follow up to the bands last album, The Black Swan, The Constant doesn’t really stand out as a must have album. The opening song The Children Sing will for the first couple of seconds will have you questioning if this a Story Of The Year or just P.O.D’s Youth Of The nation but after the intro the song is actually one of the best on the album.

The constant is an album that you can tell a lot hard work has gone into producing with heavy guitar riffs and vocals that are sometimes over powered this is an album that you need to have a listen to but with so much good music coming out at the moment, there’s no rush.

3/5
