Here is another band that has the whole Rock/Hardcore with the emotional tinge going and in all fairness it isn’t half bad! The vocal change from Rock/Emo to Hardcore is almost instantaneous and you don’t really have time to think about the change as it all happens so quickly and leaves you wondering where the soaring hardcore vocals had come from, bearing in mind that 5 seconds beforehand you had been listening to vocals of pure 100% emotion it is extremely shocking to be feeling such aggression moments later. There are 10 tracks here and you do not know what to expect from track to track, for instance, track 1, ‘On Building’ is extremely melodic and emotional without a tinge of hardcore in the whole song but it is closely followed by ‘Stabbing Backwards’ which goes from Emotional to Hardcore as if there is a switch there to do it with, and in this track you get the contrasting genres and together they seem to work really well. ‘Stabbing Backwards’ is an exciting tune as is ‘Lancaster PA’ with you never knowing what to expect due to the instant changing of genre. It makes the tunes really interesting and you want to keep listening on to see if there are any other interesting twists so the band have got you hooked with it because you want to find out what comes next and in order to do this you must listen on, as unlike many bands out there today, The Beautiful Mistake are not predictable, in fact they are the complete opposite and this is what I love so much about the band. You never know what to expect with this band and I like a bit of excitement in my music and when you do not know what to expect next it is certainly exciting as just when it seems like the band are going to become more emotional than ever they seem to spring some hardcore on you so their style never gets boring throughout the whole of the 10 tracks that there are displayed here on this album from the band. Check this band out if you like a kind of Emo Rock/Hardcore crossover and I am sure that you will be quite pleasantly surprised at the quality of the music which this band produce and will agree with me that in a genre that can become extremely dull and predictable this band are really on top of things and trying to change it for the better.
