These Arms Are Snakes were one of the, in my opinion, best Post-Hardcore bands to appear on the surface of the earth. With members such as Brian Cook of Botch fame, this album is amazingly intricate, with many intertwining melodies, sporadic complex rhythms and Electronical flourishes. However, that is not what I like about These Arms Are Snakes, no, what I really like is just how damn fun it is to listen to them. Easter is the kind of record that you can play to your not-metalhead friends and have a shot at them liking it, while at the same time providing an intense and breath-taking experience. After disbanding ( :( ), the members of the band went on to other great bands such as Russian Circles, and they also toured with bands like ISIS, Pelican, Mastodon and many others.
Seriously, if you don't like this record, you either have a penchant against Post-Hardcore or are old and grumpy.
NOTE: Not sure if anyone even cares who does the posting, read the post or anything other than simply going directly for the link, but I would like to note you guys that I will be absent until next Wednesday for a family trip, but as soon I get back I will make sure to upload the follow-up to this album, Tail Swallower And Dove!
