As I Lay Dying-Shadows Are Security ****
Shadows Are Security is by far the heaviest album As I Lay Dying has ever released. Where Frail Words Collapse was pretty heavy but more of a harder edged album over all, SAS is just straight heavy.
The riffs are solid, and when a solo is player (though rare to hear a solo from As I Lay Dying) it totally kills! Jordan proves once again that he is among the elite in the modern world of metal drumming.
Tracks like 'The Darkest Nights' and 'Through Struggle' are among the bands best. The former being a (almost) subtle ballad with epic musicianship, and the latter being one of the bands most brutal tracks. Complete with a chugging guitar riff and great vocals/lyrics to accompany.
Over all Shadows Are Security and As I Lay Dying as a whole brought nothing new to the table with this release. But it is a solid album and one of the genres strongest to come along in the last ten or so years. So if it is your thing it is worth the price.
Good album that could have been greatMay 2, 2008 N. Perz(St. Louis) AILD is probably the best Metalcore band out there. SAS is a solid album with really good songs construction and guitar work. Lots of power and energy. The only problem is: the vocals suck.
Yes, I know that growling and screaming is what Metalcore is all about (which is a big reason why so much Metalcore is garbage). Still, if they would get a singer who could/would sing, AILD would probably be my favorite band.
Leaving aside the lack of vocals, however, SAS is a very good album. (P.S., catch their live show if you ever have the chance).
Recommended.
METALCORE JUST GOT BETTER!March 9, 2008 Brock Maganz(oakland,california) This is simply as i lay dying's best album heavy brutal and just a f*ckin masterpiece.I swear unlike other heavy bands you might not remember some of the songs but in this cd you will recall every song.I promise you will love this album even if you're not into metalcore,if you never heard this band before you simply might think they are death metal.Screw everyone who doesn't like this album they just can't deal with the fact that a christian metal band is one of the best and heaviest and called the gods of the genre.I simply love this album better than their newest one but this guys will always be one of the best FRAIL WORDS COLLAPSE is also a good album more angry and faster get that one too.This album deserves more than 5 stars yaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!

I like the album booklet, but the music itself is just mediocre. I wish there were more guitar solos, and I can't stand the guys vocals. I guess I don't mind the screaming, as I like "The Fall Of Ideals" from All That Remains. But this guy's screaming is not tight, it's very sloppy. Anyway, don't get me wrong, the music is fast, drums are tight, guitars are chuggy, but I wish the vocalist would try something else out.
