Check out some reviews:
This is one of the best post-hardcore albums to come out recently. It's packed with honest emotion, melody, and rock like most bands can only hope for. Another plus is that it manages to avoid the influences and cliches of commercial hardcore or emo. Guitarist and vocalist Joe Enos, formerly of Florida hardcore/emo bands Madison and Carlisle, has a great unpolished voice and the music is diverse. Sometimes its similar to early Piebald and other times its a full attack of screams and brutality. Both are equally pleasing here. Best song title on the album: "Bitch, You Ain't Go No Old Navy Jacket."
[ Modern Fix ]
Be not misled by the ultra dissonant rhythmic metalcore surges and layered screams/shouts that open the first track, as things quickly shift into the lightly raw singing vocals and heavy yet melodic emo styled chord progressions that are much more indicative of the mid- to late-90's sounding emo that these guys drop throughout this record. Lots of singing and vocal harmonies over openly melodic chord progressions, lush clean breaks and chilled out passages, as well as caustic picking patterns and chugging aggression with loads of screaming and yelling, etc...[ Aversionline.com ]
There was a time when emo wasn't a term co-opted by skinny, whiny white In Arcadia are as melodic as they are driving. Sometimes the songs are even performed in a rather sloppy, urgent manner that finds them having much in common with early Sunny Day Real Estate, 400 Hundred Years and Planes Mistaken for Stars. There are moments of melodic introspection that can be deemed as pretty while at the same time there is equally as much discordantly raw guitar driven angst to be found. If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It, is a pure treat and hopefully will reach the ears of those who dig well written, sincere emotional hardcore.
[ Under The Volcano ]
Heavy and anguished, but not too brutal, In Arcadia delivers sincere hardcore/screamo with ample traces of post-hardcore elements for modernity. Enos' vocals prove dexterous as they weave between emotionally charged harmonies and angst-ridden assaults of shrill cries and fetal position breakdowns. The instrumentation is equally impressive with fiery guitar melodies laced throughout that seem to dance nimbly around soft interludes then lead into thick, grueling sessions of tear your heart out rage and fury....[ EvilNeedles.com ]
In Arcadia's members are the overachievers of the music scene. By the sixth song on this album, these guys have displayed their chops in playing straight-up hardcore, punk-core, post-hardcore, pensive indie rock, and downtrodden, depressed indie rock. The amazing part is that they excel at most of it - the hardcore is blistering, the post-hardcore churns with an otherworldly passion, the pensive indie rock is genuinely creative, and the beautiful, downtrodden indie rock of "Fathom the Briguns" is simply instrumental. This band has chops out the wazoo, and they use them in every possible configuration they can think of. "Megadeth Fiero" mashes a punk riff and an indie riff together for the lead riff, and "Theres No Crying in Baseball" unleashes some tasty hardcore bits on us. The Appleseed Cast wouldve loved to have written the intro to "Bitch, You Aint Got No Old Navy Jacket" before In Arcadia turns the song into a post-hardcore barn-burner. If you like post-hardcore/hardcore/punk-core/indie rock, In Arcadia is your band. These guys have fused all these genres together into one huge quilt of awesomeness entitled “If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It. Maybe Im behind the curve in proclaiming In Arcadia, or maybe Im ahead, but nevertheless, any band that can throw a piano into a post-hardcore album and not come off as overly sentimental is pretty ridiculously good.
