The World is a Beautiful Place and I’m No Longer Afraid to Die - Josh is Dead EP review
A short review today. Now we’re looking at The World is a Beautiful Place’s Josh is Dead EP released back in December 2010. This three track EP is something else and also a bit difficult to figure out. There’s splashes of Indie rock, math rock, emo, and post-hardcore with screamed vocals. Its sound can be compared to Pianos Become the Teeth’s Saltwater EP, with the aggressive straightforward early emo/screamo drive which can seclude into more atmospheric post-rock passages. Yet it has a different more energetic quality that seems to set it apart. It almost seems to have a kind of punk flavor and contains a Wonder Years like feel, as weird as that sounds. The only thing that bothers me with this release is how short it is, the whole EP is only 8 minutes in length, making you feel a bit short changed. Overall, a great EP. Unique as all get out, and really a refreshing sound. These guys have much potential and if they push their material further they will be a force to reckoned with within the scene. So go check them out, you can get this EP on their Bandcamp for only a dollar which is basically a steal. And support them. They deserve it.
