'Youngbloods' is the sophomore album for Australia's The Amity Affliction. The band are cut from the same cloth as Chiodos and Motionless in White with an abundance of screamo, growling and clean vocals woven into melodic staccato riffing. The intensity is commendable and Machine's production hones in on the melodies and aggression perfectly, yet the whole thing just seems recycled. Unclean vocals stack the verses, clean singing springs the chorus bits and the breakdowns are dominant. Apparently this sort of thing comes with instructions.
