Rochester based emo band Roses Are Red has worked with my favorite producer Brian McTernan (Moments in Grace,Don?t look down,Engine Down) on their 2nd album for Trustkill records,"What became of me" perhaps ain?t that much different compared to the previous album "Conversations". Less screamo and a more polished production from McTernan are two things that are significant for the new album,their 2004 effort was a nice album but didn?t really stand out in the jungle of emo rock. But I feel that this quintet are better songwriters on "What became of me",I don?t find any chartclimbing hitsingles on this album but that doesn?t mean it?s a bad cd. RAR have done what I would like to call a cd full of strong album tracks,you can listen to this 48 minute long cd and just sink into the lovely soundscape of first class melodic emo! Really,really good!
