The latest in the hot flurry of emo bands that are plodding eastward from aMORica, Armor For Sleep are, like so many others before them, playing solemnly hackneyed, highly plagiaristic emo debris into our sweet and tainted homes in a serious attempt to connect with an audience of disconnected, disaffected youth who find some sort of nihilistic comfort in power chord-sullied pop music and harmonised, unimaginative teen lyrics.
As ever, there are two great songs on here that fill the unashamed emo cynic with hope, only to be let down by the other eight. A _slight _redemption can be made with the strange little guidebook theme-linked to the title, otherwise there's nothing else to say that you've not read before.
