Review : THE NUMBER TWELVE LOOKS LIKE YOU – “Worse Than Alone”

The Number Twelve Looks Like You – “Worse Than Alone”
released March 10, 2009 on Eyeball Records

Open letter to TNTLLY: Please replace former vocalist Justin Pedrick with an additional guitarist, preferably one that can sing. Musically you all have potential, with glimmers of greatness akin to Dillinger Escape Plan or Between The Buried And Me. But without better compositions and improved vocal dynamics, it all just sounds messily slipshod. They say if a band hasn’t figured out their sound by the fourth album, they need to reexamine themselves; I suggest you do so. What’s worse than being alone?  Being alone and writing whiny experimetalcore songs about it.
