Following close to bands like Drop Dead, Gorgeous and The Devil Wear Prada, Alesana is a melodic hardcore band complete with layers of intricate guitars, the screamo/singing set of vocals, and the rabid energy that many in the genre are known for. And even though they follow closely to those bands, they still have their unique style that lets you know that this isn't the every day hardcore.

   That being said, these guys sometimes feel like they aren't tapping into the complete professional sound that others have. For instance, a band like Our Last Night's last album had flawless production and presentation, where at times this album feels like it's (well for lack of a better word) sloppy. It's not the whole record, and songs like "Seduction" show off what the album truly has to offer because it's infectious and melodic as the best out there.
