The Fall of Ideals by All That Remains
The Fall of Ideals was the third studio album by All That Remains and produced by the Killswitch Engage guitarist, Adam Dutkiewicz, and engineered by the Soilwork guitarist Peter Wichers. Released on July 11, 2006 the album was the band's first to enter the Billboard 200 charts, at number 75, with just under 13,000 copies sold. On May 23, 2008, it was announced that the album had sold in excess of 175,000 copies worldwide
All That Remains' merciless take on metalcore sounds especially savage on their third album, <i>The Fall of Ideals</i>. Chalk it up to the band’s relentless, machine-gun blast beats ("Weak Willed"), vocalist Philip Labonte’s metallic teeth-gnashing ("Not Alone") or Oli Herbert’s lightning-fast guitar shredding ("We Stand"). Even the album's occasional moments of levity—such as the melodic, acoustic-dashed "Whispers (I Hear You)"— eventually cave under the band’s thrashing, gnarled intensity.
