California post-hardcore band Hail the Sun’s 2014 album Wake has proved to be the band’s definitive album. The album keeps the listener captivated and on their toes. The band’s dynamic capabilities are shown throughout with slower songs like Relax/Divide immediatly followed by Disappearing Syndrome, a heavy hitter. This is certainly an album that should be listened to as intended: front to back, starting with Rolling out the Red Carpet and ending with Anti-Eulogy. Each song transitions beautifly into the next dealing with themes like death, anger, substance abuse, relationships and religion.
Final Verdict: Honestly, I can’t find any problems with the album. It’s perfect in its entirety.
Score: 5/5
