My
third time hearing Bag of Bones and first time not on cassette, I agree most
with the screamo idea, as when there are vocals being sung this can sound like
Straylight Run or The Stryder or even Day at the Fair, but when it gets heavier
it could be Thrice or As Cities Burn.
There
is also a song on here that is primarily spoken word and that’s a nice way as
any to sort of show people your range, so I’m digging it. It is in that way that this can remind me
also of I Am the Avalanche or I Kill Giants.
Still,
despite the great music here one of the most redeeming qualities to Bag of
Bones remains the lyrics. As he so brilliantly states at the end of the
first song: “and I’m still standing here / it’s not fair, I wanted happiness /
but I’ll settle for whatever feels the closest”.
