metalcore post-hardcore

Should I tear this album apart and just be honest or should I just be really fake about it all and just say..."well they seem like nice guys so they are good"? Well I don't know the band so I can't take road. God, forgive me. This is just bad. It's so generic that my eyes are hurting from frustration. It looks like they found the recipe to make a metalcore band and they followed it to a T. Bass driven but still with melodic breakdowns and then don't forget the same old same old vocals and then you always have to have the guitarist who does the high pitched sing alongs. The secret ingredient is of course the depressing and melancholy lyrics that just seem over acted. The picture supplied with the liner notes makes these guys look even more generic. I don't really like the judge a book by it's cover but they look like youth group kids who got a few tattoos after they heard their first underoath album and threw away all their ska cd's from 3 years previous. It's not a personal attack. It's just a link I see between the music and the photo. It's just bad. I guess the originality fairy was off the day they decided to do this band.
