This band not only combines the styles of screamo and pop together, but they actually made it sound amazing! What excites me more about this band...
Forever Ended Yesterday

These Hearts Think Screamo is all about rebellion and hatred? Think Pop is all about whinny brats who don't realize how good they have it? Both accounts are wrong when you take in bands like These Hearts!

Kicking off with the song "Apology Rejected," with epic guitar riffs and ear busting screams that seem to come out of nowhere, even all of my friends were surprised and loved it! This bands genre, one I can only describe as Pop-Core, perfectly blends elements of both Screamo and Pop into a symphony sound that makes my head bang while also making my feet move!
I love every song on this album (though "Denial is Not Just a River in Egypt" isn't the best, it has a good sound, but I don't understand what it's about), and the message is so positive! From a part of the bible (Romans 15) to life experience (Live to the Point of Tears) this album touches my soul and moves my heart.
God gave these guys a talent, and I love how they use it for Him! The song "Romans 15" is an amazing and inspirational song. The first thing they did in the song was shout out the first verse of Romans 15 which says "We [who are](the) strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak [and not to please ourselves]," a verse that says what Christians are meant to do; help others like Christ did, and Christ Himself said that we will do greater things than He has on this earth.
These Hearts are kind to people off the stage, from personal encounters that i have heared, and teaches love and kindness on stage. I would highly recommend buying this album!

Welcome to the stage: These Hearts!
This band not only combines the styles of screamo and pop together, but they actually made it sound amazing! What excites me more about this band is that everyone in it is always so friendly! A user on YouTube told a story of him at a These Hearts concert where they were getting ready to leave--packing up merchandise, yada, yada--but they still talked and hung out with him! A guy they had only just met!
Personality aside, I gave this a 4.5 rating because of how perfect they were able to mix two completely separate genre's together, as well as being Christian about their lyrics. Truth be told, this is not the first album I heared of them. The first song I ever heared by this band was "Apology Rejected," first song on the album "Forever Ended Yesterday."
So why did I give this album a 4.5 instead of a 5 star rating? I mean, I said it multiple times that they perfectly blended these styles together. So where did that .5 star go? To be honest, it was the song "Denial Is Not Just a River in Egypt." Aside from the cliche name--something I don't care about when rating--the lyrics didn't speak to me; I didn't understand it! I like the song, it has a great sound, but the lyrics are an important aspect of music as well.
The song "Living to the Point of Tears" is my favorite on this, the song being about his cousin who had died. It touched my very soul. For this album, since there were 5 songs, I was going to have one star per song, but this song made me add half a star more.
I had stopped listening to music with this sound before because the band I found were not Christian bands, so finding this band and finding out they are a Christian band made me that much more excited!
So if you like Pop-Core, then look no further! This is an album I would recommend buying!
