What Separates Me From You by A Day to Remember
What Separates Me from You is the fourth studio album by American metalcore and pop punk band A Day to Remember. Originally planned for release in October 2010, the album was delayed until November 2010. It featured a greater use of clean vocals and more of a pop punk style than the band's previous releases.The album, which was recorded at Wade Studios in Ocala, Florida, from May to July 2010, featured the band's new guitarist, Kevin Skaff. What Separates Me from You was met with critical success, with critics praising the album's sound. The band toured worldwide in support of the release.
Led by "All I Want"—a post-hardcore pep talk with a skyscraping chorus—<i>What Separates Me from You</i> largely trades in A Day to Remember's gruff metalcore edges for irresistible catchiness. The sugary pop-punk earworms "It's Complicated" and "Better Off This Way" (the latter of which boasts a full-on "whoa-oh-oh" sing-along) are mid-'00s emo classics, while "Out of Time" turns its punky sneer into a cheerleader-worthy chant. Even the cathartic screamo of "You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic" bears a gorgeous, melodic sheen.
