Review
Alright, buckle up folks, 'cause Pierce The Veil's 'Misadventures' is one hell of a ride. After a four-year hiatus, these guys came back swinging with an album that'll knock your socks off and maybe even your neighbor's. It's like they took post-hardcore, threw it in a blender with some skate punk and pop rock, and hit puree. The result? A sonic smoothie that'll leave you buzzing.
Now, don't let the title fool you. 'Misadventures' isn't about some dudes stumbling around lost - it's more like a carefully orchestrated chaos. Vic Fuentes and the boys serve up a mix of heart-pounding tracks like 'Texas Is Forever' and 'The Divine Zero' that'll have you bouncing off the walls, alongside more chill tunes like 'Bedless' and 'Floral & Fading' that might just make you feel some type of way. And let's talk about those lyrics - Fuentes isn't just spitting words, he's pouring his heart out on the mic.
This album isn't just about breakups and makeups, though. These guys got real, tackling heavy stuff like the 2015 Paris attacks in 'Circles'. It's not all doom and gloom though - 'Misadventures' managed to climb to #4 on the Billboard 200 and even made waves internationally. Not too shabby for a bunch of guys who probably still get carded at bars, huh? - Leo
