I don't know exactly where green tables play into this but I can say that this album is really, really good.

Whether it be the intense, converge-esque moments, the post-rock passages that seem to have an emo take on Explosions in The Sky, or maybe it's just the passionate wails of "Realise time won't heal a goddamn thing" or "One day my dreams will meet my fears", Mesa Verde have crafted an album filled with emotional energy off of grinding drums, passionate vocals, and melodic guitars.

Awesome vocals. Awesome instrumentation. Amazing album. Post-Youth is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Mesa Verde, originally hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, is another up-and-coming act from the hardcore/screamo
scene. They released two solid EPs over the course of 2005 and 2006, and have finally returned this year with their
first full-length LP.
Their post-rock driven style of screamo (influenced by bands like City of Caterpillar, no doubt) is just chalk-full of
raw emotion, with harsh, biting vocals delivered upon layers of clean and distorted guitars and monstrous drum fills.
Anybody who is familiar with some of the more underground screamo bands probably knows what to expect here.
Moments of absolute chaos are broken up by slow, calm instrumental segments that inevitably transition into more
distorted guitars and passionate screaming.
And while Mesa Verde doesn't really push any of the genre's boundaries forward, they do what they do well. Very well
in fact, and that's good enough for me.

Take the most passionate moments from Converge's You Fail Me, mix it with the dark post rock ambience of Envy and add a tea spoon of the pure anger shown in Modern Life Is War's Witness and you've got yourself Mesa Verde's debut; The Old Road. Despair, anger and loneliness never tasted so good.
