So They Say, Life In Surveillance

I have a love/hate relationship with this music — mostly hate — and So They Say epitomizes why with the release of Life In Surveillance. While sonically tight, the vocals are way overproduced, to the point of killing the music. So They Say would easily fit on the current roster of Victory Records, and probably the only reason they’re not is because Fearless Records picked them up first. As for the music, produced by Matt Hyde (Sum 41, No Doubt, Slayer), it falls somewhere between Saves The Day and Atreyu and maybe the pop sensibilities of Box Car Racer and P.O.D.
