You, Me, & The Violence explodes out of the gates with Pilori , a statement of personal independence among society s faults and fractures. Birds In Row continue down this road, expressing disdain in songs like Cages , Guillotine , and Walter Freeman . All of them musically harboring a tangle of emotional vocals and rabid distortion. Just when it feels like the album is almost too overpowering, Birds In Row unfurl a moment of clarity in Last Last Chance , a haunting guitar and vocal break. The control of their dynamics is masterful work. You, Me, & The Violence and Grey Hair are near perfect examples of this, shifting between searing and serene in tone. And if you weren t in awe of Birds In Row in the first eleven songs, the twelve minute closer Lovers Have Their Say will leave you floored.
