Old Man II, with it's bright guitar landscapes that fight with large, chunky riffing, is refreshing and enthralling. Song Of Shame acts as a cautionary tale about a person's dance with his vices, ultimately succumbing to them despite his self assurance that he would not. Watch Me Sink's beginning riff and the drummer's metronomic usage of his cymbals and toms create the landscape of one of the best buildups in the first half of the album.
Have Heart's over the top usage of gang vocals in this song, a practice that can make or break any good hardcore release, are put to good use in this song. The band uses them to help paint the frantic landscape of Watch Me Sink and tell the story of a person who is embattled with their own negative perception of their environment.
It goes to show every element that this band employs in their sound is intentional and used in order to help craft an overall mood and atmosphere. Everything is placed right where it needs to be in order for Have Heart to carefully package a sound that resonates with it's listener. Watch Me Rise stands as by far one of the most statuesque songs ever written in modern hardcore and has become a ballad for the new generation of it's fans.
Watch Me Rise employs everything that has worked for Have Heart in the previous songs and brings them together. The themes of self-reliance, the frantic landscapes, the attention to detail, the minimalism, and a message.
All are employed to the best of their ability in this classic closer to a classic album. One fair and understandable complaint that can be made about Have Heart is their attachment to the straight edge lifestyle. It is no secret that they were straight edge when they performed. Pat Flynn and company were known to wear X's on their hands during performances and were usually a headlining band on straight edge themed shows.
However, those two words are never explicitly said throughout the album's duration. In comparison to current straight edge bands like Kingdom or their predecessors like Judge, their songs and messages are far more accessible to people who may not share the same beliefs. This capability to draw in listeners who don't agree is the final attribute that makes this album spectacular as it goes to show that The Things We Carry was created by people who were wise beyond their years and certainly wise beyond their genre.
Such is the curse of the core; however, Have Heart doesn't succumb to this pitfall. This is why. First, and foremost, we need to look at the lyrics. Vocalist Patrick Flynn understands two very important concepts that many other vocalists miss, thus making them mediocre. Flynn realizes the existence of other musical styles that aren't hardcore.
Yes, I know this can be hard to fathom for many but it's true. The most notable example of this is buried within the lyrics, but for those who can't listen to anything more experimental than Quicksand or Fugazi, the liner notes mention that Flynn quotes not only Shipwreck, but Neil Young as well. Apparently rummaging through your parent's record collection is good for something after all. Song Of Shame 8. To Us Fools 9. Something More Than Ink The Machinist Watch Me Rise.
