    One thing that’s not mentioned here, I see this album as a kind of concept album. I know it’s not explicit but there’s two main themes running through it. The songs that start with ‘a’ are his own tragedy. Then there’s the tragedies of others, King Park, Edward Benz etc. These reach a crescendo in All our bruised bodies where he talks about all of those experiences together, including his own and compares his situation to the tragedies of the others. You and I in unison is like his Atonement.
    I think this makes an already great album, groundbreaking.

    This review was spot on. So many people are turned off by Dreyer's vocals but that determines whether you are in or out with this band. I wasn't the biggest fan of Wildlife but after my friend told me to sit down with all the lyrics in front of me and just read along, this album became a top 10 for me. It's a movie, a book, a play, and a CD all at the same time. This band is just incredible.

    It's the first review that I saw about Wildlife and describes almost all my thoughts about Wildlife. The album is my favorite, even with the release of "Rooms of the House", I couldn't let Wildlife get out from the top of my favorite La Dispute's albums. Such a wonderful review and such words still can't describe my passion for this project.

    Takes perserverence as the caustic nature of Jordan's vocal approach is initially offputting, but once it clicks, the scale of the narrative and "the stories as an undercurrent" just gets better and better with every listen. This album has worked it's way through hundreds to make it to my favourite rock album from a currently releasing artist. Jordan sets a new precedent for modern lyricists, and as one, it taught me to buck the fuck up and aim higher. Also the "a" songs as asides are incredible

    I would definitely give this record 10/10, but I would say I'm slightly biased considering they're one of my favorite bands. I really feel like what they did with Wildlife seemed pretty innovative (although, of course, I'm sure it's been done similarly before), and I feel like you don't fully understand that unless you listen to Wildlife's interview counterpart called Conversations. Conversations is basically Jordan Dreyer giving the story behind each and every song and how it fits into the narrator's story and why it's so significant. Listening to it really helped me find the love for Wildlife that I have now. This will forever be one of my favorite records of all time.

      I'd give this one an 8 or light 9 if it were me, I love the band but I just see their previous and the album after this both having to be in that same 10 spot or at least around that as the music on this album I thought just was a minor step-down considering what they did with somewhere at the bottom... Plus I think I just was more provoked with the other two studio albums and even more so than not the split with Touche Amore was it I think, the album's kick ass tho

They left behind labels to put out a fully independent release. They've been putting out records since 98 and are my favorite hip-hop act. Hope you at least check it out even if no review is done.

    La Dispute is really the only important "post hardcore" band currently making music. Glad to know you liked the album, Anthony :)
    Hope you're well, bud.

    Really good review. I agree with just about everything you said here, except you forgot to mention the song "All Our Bruised Bodies and the Whole Heart Shrinks". That song sort of stood out for me because its basically just him asking these questions like "have you ever suffered" or "Did they tell you how cruel the world can be" or something like that, and it feels like he's speaking to me. Anywhoo, great review keep them coming!

    The "cliched" post-hardcore he describes sounds exactly like Dance Gavin Dance

    King park is dope but I feel like the story with edward benz is just better and more interesting and the overall sound of the song is just better but thats just my opinion

    As a member of da wildlife community I approve of diss review.
    I also suggest reviewing David Lynch's new "Crazy Clown Time" as a track review!

    Im glad you ended your description with King Park so people could enjoy they emotional shock it creates with the lyrics

    I completly agree. Once you get into the vocals, then you get into the lyrics and then you realise how awsome the vocals really are and how amazingly his style fits in the band.

    This is personally one of my favorite albums. An ex of mine got me into the band recently and upon first listen, I wasn't much of a fan. They weren't something I'm used to hearing. After listening to their songs a few more times, I can sit down and listen to this album front start to finish everyday. It's an amazing album.

    I say it should be a nine, its seriously amazing, the lyrics are not like anything else, and the musical dynamics are just mind blowing, the sincereness of some lines just you can feel the passion, but there are some not so great tracks that wiegh it down as a whole

    @KidASquared I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT
