year: 2006 - review: song "hands open" is exactly the kind of shot in the arm the band needs more of. final straw's best quality was that it was consistant as hell. this one it's really hit or miss. mostly hit, espcially when they're being sonically dramatic and agressive. however, a couple of the songs are way too elctro heay without much power and rythym and track 3 is WAY too cornishly cheesy for my tastes, and i listen to coldplay! other wise, still good. the agressive attitude and psuedo-collage rock sounds of "hands open" make it by far the standout track and garret lee's production on guitars and drums is as amazing and strong as usual.
