If you are one of those who consider ARCHITECTS some kind of betrayers of the math formulas, you probably hate their fucking guts, but the rest of the world is on the verge of falling in love with them. There’s a reason for that. Sam Crter and his people have found the safest way to the hearts of the majority. There was a time when Bob Ezrin (do I need to explain who Bob Ezrin is?) advised Alice Cooper to ‘play every song on piano and if you can’t do this, the song is shit’ This fundamental truth rules the music indeed. ‘The Here And Now’ is a perfect example of the theory that says if you have a good melody, everything can be built around it. In this new album ARCHITECTS are sophisticated (Learn To Live, Red Eyes), grown men (Day In, Day Out), considerably rough and arrogant (Delete, Rewind) and even melancholic (An Open Letter To Myself). They don’t want to be the next Bullet For My Valentine or Funeral For A Friend. They keep away from the new breed of Asking Alexandria. Along with Bring Me The Horizon, ARCHITECTS are among the brightest hopes of the English scene, which hasn’r seen such upheaval for the last 20 sometning years. After this album the band will slowly but surely become really huge; they will play bigger festivals and if nothing goes wrong and the next studio effort is as good as this or even better, these guys will conquer arenas. Nowadays when we have Avenged Sevenfold selling a good number of 450 000 copies of their last album in The USA alone, it’s good to find an alternative to a band that was accepted even by the most stubborn purists. This alternative is ARCHITECTS.
