Every time a Touché Amoré I pray that I will understand the hype with this band. On one hand, I see the lyrical appeal because they are not on the emo bandwagon with basic and cringy lyrics. They present some quality poetic emo lyrics in the vein of Silent Planet, Emery (older emery at least), American Football, and even PUP. But, sonically every album, and their fifth full-length Lament here, is so sonically safe for the screamo and melodic hardcore scene. Everything about this album seems unoriginal or already done. But whatever maybe in four years on their sixth album it will catch onto me.
