More Morello, Please

• Artist: Morello
  
• Album: Twelve Ways To Breathe
  
• Year: 2006
  
• Why I picked it up: The album art was really interesting, with an anatomical image of a person and inking in parts of the sides. It gave off a strong punk/post-hardcore vibe that I felt I would enjoy.

Morello has a very nice sound which I truly love. The mix of clean, gruff, and shouted vocals in this style of post-hardcore is amazing. The guitar riffs are wonderous, the bass lines are solid, and the drumming compliments the other sounds amazingly--even if it does get a little weak at times. The album is phenomenal, with the only downside being that some of the songs sound too similar, with little variation between them.

If Thursday and Rise Against were to have a bastard child, he would sound like Morello.
