Flogging a dead donkey, the fad's had its phase, there's no room in the inn

I suppose 'generic' is the word that comes to mind. We're All Broken construct typical mathematical song-structures, layered with emo whines and extraordinarily nonsensical lyrics. "We pack the pounds/filling our bellies/eeeeeewwww move over-we screw only good looking" as the chorus of 'Ambrosia' goes.

They seem to be just another copycat at the tail-end of a genre that's on its way out, maybe they can gain some exposure from tagging along with Fallout Boy, emo's last stand, but time is running out. 'Baltimore [Acoustic]' is a lot better than its predecessor, but still sounds just like the sounds of 1999, its just so last year! But 'Hail Vagabond Bride [Revisited]' is quite different, employing some breakbeats and standing out with a 92-voice children's choir, which does set it apart from first impressions you make of this band.

However, even a 92-voice children's choir and excerpts from Arthur O'Shaughnessy's 'Ode' (quoted by Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka) throughout the track, aren't quite enough to save this prized limited-edition 7-inch from sinking to the murky depths of the over-saturated emo ocean, sorry fellas.
