 Classic
This is a classic hardcore/metal CD. Awesome solos, great songs. I bought this CD years ago and I still listen to it constantly.

 This Album gave me the musical taste I have today
I first heard this cd blasting at lunch the first day of senior year in high school back in 2003. I'll admit up until that point I really only listened to gangsta rap, and the heaviest thing I listened to was probably Incubus. When I heard this, I fell in love with the fast drums (particularly the double bass although I didnt know what that was yet) and the melodies of the dual guatar. The vocals, added to the intensity of the overall product. I didnt know music like this existed. I mean it wasnt being spoonfed to the masses via MTV and the radio, so this was like a new thing for me. I was hooked to hardcore/metal from that day forward. Looking back on it now "Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses" really isnt that special, but this cd was responsible for my personal music revolution, so it holds a special place in my heart. Since being exposed to this album, I have been engrossed in the rise of metalcore and deathcore, which traditional metal enthusiests would label a trend. I don't care what they have to say. Bands like Lamb Of God, The Black Dahlia Murder, As Blood Runs Black, Darkest Hour, and The Acacia Strain are good for metal. That doesnt mean I don't listen to what some ppl would consider "real metal" such as Dissection, Kalmah, At The Gates, Amon Amarth, (old) In Flames and Dark Tranquility. What I'm trying to say is if it wasnt for Atreyu, I wouldnt have listened to metal at all. This album is a perfect introduction for someone who hasnt been exposed to hardcore or metal. Yeah I've moved on to bigger and better things musically, but for something produced in the infancy of metalcore, this album still holds up today. Also if you're looking for anything better than S.N.A.B.K. from Atreyu, you wont find it. They've gone for a softer sound, and the vocals have gotten even worse through the years. If you're not in to listening to heavier music than this, I suggest you listen to Avenged Sevenfold, From Autumn To Ashes, and Hopesfall. If you want to go a notch above Atreyu in the heavy department, start off with bands like Killswitch Engage, The Devil Wears Prada, August Burns Red, Caliban, Unearth, and As I Lay Dying; then work your way up from there. You'll be blasting Carnifex and Job For A Cowboy in no time!

 Great Album
This has to be the best record atreyu has ever put out. They mix a blend of different rythms and beautiful sounds and put it together to make a great album. Also, you don't usually find many hardcore bands that can write such emotionally captivating lyrics as well as these guys do. In my opinion, this cd is much better than the curse or a death grip on yesterday. Atreyu at its finest; you can find it on this album.

 wow, garbage
the only thing admirable about these guys is they can fool people into buying their cds and liking it because its "hardcore" when they really suck. hardcore aint a bad thing, its when you force it and scream with no skills like these guys that it becomes garbage and it just gives a bad name to every band that tries to make it on the hardcore scene, this is the kind of crap that turns people off.
