Armor For sleep are a 4 piece post-hardcore band
from New Jersey. What To Do When You Are Dead is
their second album release and is a concept album.
It follows a story of a guy who dies and goes to
heaven. He starts to regret what hes done and revisits
places as a ghost.
The album starts of with Car Underwater which tells
the story of a guy who decides to end his life by
driving his car into a river which results in him
drowning.
The Truth About Heaven is the track that stands
out the most on the album and moves the story on
a bit; how the guy walks past his grave, starts
to feel lonely and begins to regret what he's done.
Moving on, Awkward Last Words explains how the guy
starts to beg for his life back; ‘I wanna
live again I wanna start everything over again’.
Then we have Stay On The Ground, which is probably
my favourite track on this album. It features Ben
Jorgensen at his best, with angry screams of ‘get
it, get it, get it right’.
Ok I could go on and talk you through the rest of
the tracks but im not going to do that. However,
the album finisher The End of a Fraud, which is
one of the quietier tracks on the album, features
some quite stunning vocals by Jana Pompa and completes
the story with lyrics of ‘I’m leaving
again for the second time around’.
Overall the concept album has worked really well
here and each song sounds different. The story is
told really well and not only is this album great
musically but the album's insert is one of the coolest
I've seen. It shows photos that go along with the
story, and theres also a Comprehensive Guide To
Your Afterlife booklet inside the case. The band
have really put a lot of effort into this album,
both musically, and artistically. Awesome.
5/5
