The Color Morale is my favorite band in the hardcore genre as this moment. But Know Hope was a disappointing album, after hearing "We All Have Demons" which was a great post-hardcore album and "My Devil In Your Eyes"...I was underwhelmed by Know Hope. Know Hope isn't a bad album at ANY means, but boring after the first two listens while songs from We All Have Demons and My Devil In Your Eyes, "Demon Teeth", "The Dying Hymn" to this day have me hooked with it's great breakdowns and catchy choruses. Know Hope tries to break away from the generic post-hardcore sound, and it does, but it lacks that punch or catchiness the other two albums. Now, the lyrics, this is what makes these guys my favorite band in this genre. Garret Rap has been through a lot like MOST of us, and he let's it ALL out in this album. The harsh vocals are no longer growls but more fry..ish vocals or sometimes just plan yelling, this takes awhile to get used to because the TCH had such great harsh/distorted vocals and cleans for the genre, In my opinion of course. The album starts off with Burn Victims which is in my opinion is probably the most exciting song on the album. Then Smoke & Mirrors is a another good song for maybe like 3 listens...I shortly got bored. The lyrics are good, not their best, but they're good. "Sometimes it's good to build up walls, not to keep anyone out" is VERY cheese, which is why I say the lyrics aren't at their best. They were a ton better in the last albums. But this album is not a bad listen if you're in to post-hardcore. 6.5/10
