"Before It Began" is a wistful yet heavy concoction, effortlessly blending elements of pop-punk, metal and goth into a bittersweet, head-banging experience... A bit like that wild party where the skaters and metalheads find common ground talking about something emotive like Imogen Heap, Sigur Ros, Jeff Wayne or something. It's so good, it's a musical bridge, is what I'm trying to say.
As far as September anthems go, this one takes the cake (sorry, Green Day).
