0.0 | | October 26th 12 | Skycamefalling's album is a rare gem, while it is too rough around the edges to be perfect with its hollow production values, limited harsh vocals and sometimes repetitive sounding sections, it makes up for it with sheer energy, while the harsh vocals are limited, they are powerful in the range that they're in. The guitars are vicious and the instrument arrangements can be unique in certain areas. All in all, an enjoyable album. The highlight however would be the title track 10.21, which is in excess of nine minutes of soothing guitar that really crafts a relaxing atmosphere, a sharp contrast from the rest of the album.

2.5 average | ChuppaC | November 29th 20 | Either black metalcore is really not my jam or this is a boring album. Can't get past these types of vocals either. I'm not in Hell yet.

3.5 great | Blud Vidal | May 3rd 20 | Skycamefalling are persistently overlooked, but this album is a testament to the musical potential they never fully realized. Though 10.21 may be hampered by some poor production value and almost-tediously repetitive structure from song to song, there are flashes of brilliance throughout. Christopher's harsh vocals surge across each track with a potent, raspy vehemence, often linking up with the punky power chords Cameron employs and the punchy fills Brian uses to punctuate each track. Cameron's addition of piano invites a welcome complexity to seep into each track, but on the theme of poor production I do believe Skycamefalling hampered themselves a bit here. I feel more experimentation with song structures, more distinct fretwork, and less inhibition from Brian on drums would have opened this album up much more and allowed it to ascend into early 2000s metalcore royalty. That all being said, this is a consistently strong record with a few standout tracks and a worthwhile listen for any 'core fan.

Undeniably the best mixture of metalcore and Post-Rock of its time.
,,10.21'' might be conceptually simple and straightforward idea, but perfectly executed idea. Mixture of harsh, complex metalcore music with some Post-rock passages and atmosphere has never been done this tastefully. Right from the start the album opens up with instrumental ,,Intro'' that hits with unorthodox textures, then ,,With Paper Wings'' kicked in and I was sold on the record, this song has 3 fairly different and unique passages, opening up with the first 2 minutes of top-tier metalcore, then switches into melodic dreamy post hardcore with some cleans and ends with dark piano, and all of this worked together so well. ,,Laura Palmer'' ,,The Nothing'' ,,Porcelin Heart Promise'' ,,Shallow Like Sand'' ,,November's neverending'' are written in much more ,,Typical'' fashion, linear structure, couple of phenomenal slower passages to add some atmosphere and top tier metalcore with some ,,Math Rock-y'' drumming. Though the most unique part of this album would be the instrumental side, the math rock inspired interlude in the middle of the album or Post-rock powerhouse ''S/T''rYeah 10.21 has some minor problems, but every album has. Maybe the vocals aren't necesarilly unique or memorable, same goes for the Lyrics. Maybe the production is sometimes clumsy and the closer ,,An Ocean Apart'' is slightly dissapointing end, but other than that FLAWLESS
