7 Years Bad Luck

This album was originally released on Eulogy Recordings, but it sounded so good that the guys at Fearless decided to have it re-mixed and re-did all the stuff that is usually done after an album is recorded, and released it .
Now, this record has 9 songs, plus a “ghost-track” - which is an amazing cover of the Skid Row song “I Remember You” - and although it has less songs that the original verison of Eulogy, it is already worth the money and the time.
The main characteristic of Glasseater is that they are quite un-labelled, as they play both furious hardcore with a lot of screams and melodic punk that someone would also call “emo”. Truly it’s not that they play furious songs and melodic songs in a separated way: they mix it all in the same song. Such tunes as “7 Years Bad Luck”, “A New Day” or “5 In the Van” contain both the catchiness of soft music mixed up with the screams of the second voice and the powerful guitar riffs. Of course, there are also songs where the band gives more space to the melody, as on “Betting On A Loser” and “The Last Song I Write About You”, but in general they put all together in the same track.
I’d say Glasseater sounds like a mix of the hardest part of A New Found Glory and the softest part of Shai Hulud, and I hope this album will not be ignored by the masses: if Fearless Records decided to re-release this, it is only because Glasseater rock and I think we will still hear talking about them in the near future.
