Fans will appreciate the band's rejection of a drastic makeover to instead to churn out a hugely solid set of songs blasted with fist-pumping choruses, crashing dynamics, swirling guitars, and gang vocals galore. The focus here is more on tense emo rock with a hard pop edge than scream-bloody-murder screamo - since there is less emphasis on screaming - yet the music remains wholly Senses Fail. Still Searching is like 2004's Let It Enfold You, but two years older - tighter, fuller, and more honest. But this decision absolutely works out for them. Consequently, it's a bit surprising that for their sophomore effort, Senses Fail has instead embraced the original sound that gained them attention in the first place it's even more unexpected considering guitarist Heath Saraceno (of Midtown fame) is now counted in their ranks, since his experience could have easily taken the guys in a totally new direction. As the genre became clogged past its breaking point, everyone involved suddenly wanted to break free from an emo/screamo tag by altering their sonic approach. The year 2006 found many of Senses Fail's pals taking decisive steps toward transformation.
