Release date:
February 11th 2003
Genre(s):
Emo, alternative rock
Rating:
3.5/5
"Another emo classic from the beloved Further Seems Forever, this time even edgier with new vocalist Jason Gleason's gritty vocals. The album itself has a standard layout - a few emotional slower songs; I Am, Aurora Borealis (in long form) as well as some anthemic sing-a-longs; The Sound, Pride War. But what really makes the album unique is the band's more daring compositions like the title track, How To Start A Fire, which completely a abandons regular song structure. The stand out song on the album for me, is the penultimate track, The Deep with it's heartwrenching lyrics and wonderfully intricate guitar melodies. I wish the album had more moments like this as a few songs just sound so similar they just blend it to one. Overall, I think the album is great but apart from a few really good songs it lacks replay value unfortunately."
