Lungless have released their third album titled "The Love That Remains." This album follows in base, the style the band has created on their last two albums. However, this album seems to have a bit more of a melodic touch than before. These guys have a pretty standard post-hardcore feel to them in a way that this is what most bands are now doing. They have a similar sound to that of Like Moths To Flames or a newer Underoath. If you like those bands, you could like this album. They have done a solid job here. When looking at the recording quality, the band again keeps it up and gives a nice sound. It is nice to know the band is consistent in this aspect of their music. The instrumentation is solid, but not to the point where you can really say wow, or have gone to the point of being progressive. These guys just play stead post hardcore music. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are not bad at all, they keep up to the level of their previous efforts and push them in your face. We like the softer more sung lyrics, as you can certainly hear what he is saying, while the heavier more screamed vocals aren't to the point where you can't hear them. All in all, both vocals are clear to where you can get the meaning of the songs and not hear strained screams in your ears. Pretty decent job on this. With the lyrics, the band has gone for songs about relationships, feeling alone, being in a dark place, not knowing what is next. These are pretty dark themes, but are what many young people are feeling. We like to think that it is positive for the singer to get these out, and for the listener to hear they are not alone. This is a good message right now for a band like this. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Beauty In Death" your attention as this is the single for the album, plus it gives you an idea as to the rest of the albums feel. Lungless have made an album that expands upon their style and sound, while giving it a little more melody. We do like what they have been doing, but we also feel they could get out and show Ontario their music more. We certainly like this. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
