Different than their label mates, I/E explores a more thrash oriented side of hardcore, to go along with their snippets of melodic guitars. Instead of going the scream/sing combo route (ala Underoath), they choose a more growly shout/ punch drunk hardcore edge to take the stage more frequently then a singing voice and melody. I really enjoy the talent that their guitars protrude while they venture into harmony filled riffs and mix it with Destroy The Runner-esqe vocals.

   Their harder side seems superfluous in retrospect as it gets in the way of the other non brutal sections. Some of their breakdowns and rougher guitars sound alright but the inclusion of off kilter guitar notes in the thrash sections just make it feel even more like it shouldn't be included. Don't get me wrong though, the chaotic nature of the whole album works well and while I enjoy the harmonious parts more, the raging guitars don't get in the way.
