I this this album is pretty cool, Can't wait for the new album though, i prefer them more heavy to be fair.

Funeral for a friend are great this album is a great contrast to their others as well. this album is much more melodic with brilliant songs like 'walk away' and 'into oblivion'.

FFAF can do most of the heavy genres; they did Metal and Emo on Casually Dressed and Deep In Conversation, Heavy Rock and Indie on Hours but now I think they've got the perfect balance. Tales Don't Tell Themselves opener and first single; Into Oblivion is not a fair representation of the album because its a poor first impression. However from track two to the last note, the album is a flawless document of great song writing and catchy choruses. Matt Davies has a good rock voice, it's shifted any emotional baggage and lost the teen angst metal and he's using it to its best use now. Out Of Reach, The Diary and the two-part All Hands On Deck give the album its best moments but everything here is on the button and its good to have FFAF to tell the tales..
