Details: Amazon.caIn Tales Don’t Tell Themselves, Funeral for a Friend have penned their catchiest, most mainstream-friendly album to date. The band’s previous album, 2005’s Hours, saw Bridgend’s emo-tinged rockers soften their sound slightly, hardcore breakdowns and shrieked metal vocals receding, and a more tuneful, melodic edge coming to the fore. On Tales, Funeral walk further down this road. There’s little trace of the angry hardcore tykes who wrote songs like « The Art of American Football, » but songs like « Into Oblivion (Reunion) » and the Smashing Pumpkins-tinged « Open Water » are presented with the sort of anthemic widescreen that suggest My Chemical Romance should watch their back. Elsewhere, though, there’s signs of a growing songwriting maturity that might one day spring F4AF out of the punk ghetto for good: Matt Davies’s lyrics reach far beyond emo’s typical boy-meets-girl concerns, individual tracks linked by a narrative about a shipwrecked fisherman desperate to be reunited with his family, while the violin peaks and mighty drum rolls of « Raise the Sail » suggest Funeral for a Friend are eager to extend their musical palette. An impressive evolution. –Louis PattisonProduct descriptionBack Up N Da Chevy
