As Cities Burns debut record Son I Loved You at Your Darkers will go down as one of the best debut's in the post-hardcore history, and while Come Now Sleep is quite the progression, it might not be as much of a departure as most fans of the bands were expecting.
Since their last release, the band has underwent an extreme lineup change, including lead vocalist and bassist. Instead the bands backup singer has stepped up to the mic and showing of intense emotional singing which comes as a breath of fresh air amongst the auto tuned carbon copies of music today.
the writing on this record is superb, mixing fresh indie rock grooves, with incredible post-hardcore undertones, and even agressions on songs like "This is It, This is It."
Bottom line is there isnt much to say about this record other than it's a little more chill over all, very melodic, a little too shoegazy for me, but over all one of the best, and most thoughtful records of the year.
FINAL GRADE: A
