These Green Eyes: Relapse to Recovery
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Contents: At the end — Paramedic — Kick the crutch — Tell me everything — Drunk driver — Two minute warning — Blood sweat and beers — Sucker punch (Won't get away with it) — Last call at the Dolly — Words — Time of our lives.
Alison Giesler wrote in the New Haven Advocate: "Locals These Green Eyes have melodic punchy rock down to a science. Relapse to Recovery features 11 moody songs about serious stuff: losing friends, self-loathing, self-deprecation, repairing relationships, etc. These songs should be a downer, but they aren't meant to knock you down and leave you there. Singer Colin Cunningham's strong vocals and the varying supportive harmonies wrap words in a shroud of hope and inspiration, guiding them through the forest that is standard post-hardcore instrumentation (guitars drenched in various effects and heavy, steady drumming). This record, while about failures and shortcomings, is actually empowering. But not like hardcore's holier-than-thou garbage about respect and territory. These guys are so beyond that" (3/12/09).
