The debut full-length by Sheffield
metalcore merchants
Bring Me the Horizon adds little to the existing knowledge base of the style. Lead singer
Oli Sykes looks disconcertingly like
Saturday Night Live star
Andy Samberg and sounds less like the Cookie Monster (the usual point of comparison for
metalcore singers) than like one of those silly voiced creatures in the cantina in the original
Star Wars movie: his high-pitched gibber of a voice is
Bring Me the Horizon's most notable feature as well as its most immediately irritating. Aside from that annoyance,
Bring Me the Horizon are vaguely interesting musically in that they often resist the urge to simply pummel every song into high-speed blastbeat submission: there's a greater sense of dynamic than usual in these ten songs, including the well-deployed use of
hardcore-style mosh parts in between the furious headlong blasts. Sadly, however, the generally unimaginative songwriting and
Sykes' mannerisms spoil most of the potential fun.

wicked
I must admit that I dont like hardcore/metal type of music but I do love Bring Me The Horizon. To me they stand out from the other long list of screamers and death metal bands, with quality music, quality performances talented muscians and amazing lyrics. You must listen to this band they are bloody brilliant.
