While the demo was leaked October of last year, “These Things I’ve Done”, still stood out as one of the best off the album, and will probably end up a fan favorite.

However, the boys quickly redeem themselves with “Déjà vu”, energetic and packed full of fun and sexy lyrics. This song may have been the lowest point on the record, as it’s on the repetitive side, is a little bland, and has a nasty air of egotism about it. The next track, “Congratulations”, featuring Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire, left a little something to be desired. “Low” follows with powerful lyrics and solid instrumentation, but the arguably singular high point of the track may be Kellin’s flawless vocals. Definitely the heaviest track off the Feel, “The Best There Ever Was”, featuring Fronz of Atilla, packs a powerful punch with some of the hardest screams yet.
The song is a bit deeper and more layered than their earlier work, but it oozes a much of the same passion found on the older albums. “I’ll Take You There”, featuring Shayley Bourget of Dayshell, is a musically intricate piece, complete with loads of complex guitar and bass compositions and some elaborate hooks and riffs.
The blending of rap and hardcore, meshes surprisingly well, and makes one extremely catchy jam. Now I’m not really a Machine Gun Kelly fan, but the fourth track “Alone”, featuring the rapper, was an unexpected twist from Sleeping with Sirens. Played on the softer side, it’s music that makes you feel alive and lyrics that truly mean something. “Free Now” was my favorite off the record, because it showcased Kellin Quinn’s unflinchingly phenomenal vocal range. It is laced with heavy melodies and intense breakdowns. “Here We Go” is a fast, in-your-face, and quite possibly pop-punk inspired anthem, that really gets you on your feet.
The album opens with “Feel”, presenting an inescapably catchy chorus and only a nibble of the delectable musical feast heard later on. To the skeptics, I can say with fullest sincerity that the album is musical proof of the band’s continuing evolution from scene boys to serious post-hardcore men on both the songwriting/musical production and business fronts. With clear improvement from the days of With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear and even Let’s Cheers to This, pulling in a myriad of musical influences, Feel may be their best album to date!įeel is either an album that you’ll love unconditionally or you’ll dislike wholeheartedly, because it is so vastly different from Sleeping with Siren’s previous work. On April 6, 2013, Sleeping with Sirens released their newest record, Feel. With nearly five years of experience and two previous album releases, Sleeping with Sirens has grown from being just another drop in the watered down sea of crappy scene metal bands, to becoming the tidal wave of post-hardcore badassery that they are today. As one of the ever familiar faces of Rise-core, you know the SWS sound, you know their look, and you definitely know that these Florida boys are seemingly unstoppable. Undeniably one of the current powerhouses of the post-hardcore scene, Sleeping with Sirens has become a true force of nature in the world of alternative music.
