 Greatest Band Ever!!!!!! October 4, 2007
Keith (Washington, D.C.)
Hands down the best band to come out of Drive-Thru Records ever. Vocals are amazing, just the right amount of feeling. One of the few cds you can put in and let it play over and over and not skip a track, EVERY SONG IS GOOD. If you have not heard this cd you are missing out.
 Not so bad after a few listens March 17, 2007

When I first popped in the CD after many recommendations (I normally don't buy cud's with artist I'm unfamiliar with), I was a little under whelmed. The first song on the disc, titled "New Beginnings" was pretty good. A creative and interesting chorus with a repeating riff and pounding bass that kept my attention. So far so good as I headed on to the next song titled "Letters to You", a song that has the energy of "New Beginnings" but with a lacking chorus.
The next tracks, "Post Script", and especially " Grey Matter" were a little weak on first listen leaving nothing memorable for me to hold on too.
The next song made the album for me though, "Perfection Through Silence". The song starts off with a pounding chorus and bass that doesn't just give you a taste, but a whole thirty seconds worth before heading in with the rest of the song (I believe every song with a great riff should have this). Great lyrics and chorus left me repeating the song about 5 times before I moved on to the rest of the album.
Unfortunately for me my favorite song is followed by my least favorite, titled "Awake". I just found the guitars to be annoying and aggravating, with an equally painful chorus.
Skip.
"Without You Here" took some time to grow on me, but it's definitely one of the stronger songs where vocalist Nate Barcelow really shows his emotion that could leave a tear in your eye.
The next group of songs, "Stay With Me", "Project Mayhem", "Untitled" and "Three Simple Words" left me with a, "Meh". Ones forgettable, ones just weird and tiresome, and the other is just...well just a little uncreative and cheesy.
I know what you're saying, "you dislike most of the songs, so why the generous rating?" Well, the supposedly last song "Ender", and the bonus, "What it is to Burn" have great melodies, emotion, and interesting elements throughout. Especially "What it is to Burn", which is hailed as an instant classic amongst most Finch fans, plus my mentioned favorites only got better with each listen.
After a few spins the album definitely grew on me, as I constantly listen to New Beginnings and Perfection Through Silence on a regular basis. Those two songs alone are worth the price in my book. So if you're curious, want something new to listen to, and like rock with a touch of emo; then don't be afraid to pick this album up. You're guaranteed to like something.
Finch's Best CD October 15, 2006
Kurt Cobain/Criss Angel! (It's too complicated to explain.)

If you have never heard Finch before, then this is the CD you should listen to. Their other CD "Say Hello to Sunshine" is deffinately not their best. "What It Is To Burn" has a lot more talent than their new CD. Don't Say Hello to Sunshine, Say Hello to What It Is To Burn. This cd may have a lot of songs that sound alike but after your 2nd or 3rd time listening to it, you'll realize that they're all different and they're all amazing. Their best track on this CD is "Ender" and "What It Is To Burn". My least favorite is "Project Mayhem", only because it's repetitive. It sounds the same throughout the whole song, and it just flat out isn't good. But besides that song, the whole CD is great. You should buy it. And as for the other CD "Say Hello To Sunshine", all I'm going to say is that it's deffinately not as good as this CD. So you should get this one.
One of the best albums of all time August 5, 2006

Simply stated, this album is a masterpiece. It has everything one would want from an album. It has great songwriting, great music, great lyrics, and most of all great emotion. This album will evoke emotions, probably nostalgic ones, but emotions none the less.
The album is mostly about the singer and his realationships. He covers all aspects of what it's like to be in love and to suffer love lost. All but one song is great. I could live without Project Mayhem. It just doesn't fit on this album. Minus this song, the albumn is one you will listen to to death. You will get sick of it from playing it so much.
The best thing about the album is that it's by a relatively undiscovered band, Finch. You will be able to introduce your friends to greatness, and they will forever revere your musical recommendations.
My favorite songs are 1) Perfection Through Silence 2) Stay With Me 3) New Beginnings and 4) Ender.
I hope you get this album. It will quickly climb to the top of your list and will stay in your CD player for months on end.
Finch at there best!! May 29, 2006

Finch is band from drive-thru records also home to other great bands like Fenix*Tx, New found glory, Finch seems to blend screaming and amazing heavy riffs. If you like Nirvana,Weezer,Deftones you will love finch as they could be considerd the pioneers of "Screamo" This album is so great in so many levels i could possible heavyly compare it to nevermind by nirvana as the band pulls you in with catchy riffs from New Beginnings,Letters to you, To the most captivating under rated song in the album in my opininon "WithOut you here" the band seems to have broken up as of late 2005 or early 2006 but by far its the closest Greatest album ive heard from a supposed emo band
the album recived a 4 out of a 5 because songs like project mayhem or kinda unbareable and the thought of haveing to change it everytime it comes out sucks but other than that its a awsome album i hope this review helps you!!
