Alexisonfire’s latest offer­ing to the world of hard­core was some­what dis­ap­point­ing com­pared to pre­vi­ous albums. Watch Out! is def­in­itely among the genre lead­ers as an album, but sadly, Crisis falls some­what short of the extremely high stand­ard the band have pre­vi­ously set them­selves. That’s not to say that this album isn’t good – it is. The music just doesn’t improve on pre­vi­ous efforts, and the vocals are frus­trat­ing. Even the track names aren’t as ori­ginal as they have been in the past. It’s a shame, because I was look­ing for­ward to this album very much. Hope­fully, Alex­is­on­fire will return to their pre­vi­ous stand­ard with their next album.
