Release Notes:

WELSH rockers Funeral For A Friend deliver their first career
retrospective in the form of the 16-track Your History Is Mine:
2002-2009 but while certainly packed with monster riffs, plenty of
Goth-like wailing and the odd moment of melody, it s a laboured listen
that s short on much diversity

Formed in 2002, Funeral For A Friend have quickly established
themselves as one of Britain s biggest rock acts, releasing four albums
and generally becoming a popular mainstay of festivals such as
Download

Yet while they undoubtedly deliver the stadium-sized monster rock
tracks with relish and possess a sound that s equally at ease on either
side of the Atlantic, their music suffers from the same feeling of
over-familiarity that blights a lot of heavier rock acts

Vocalist Matthew Davies and co seem to think that so long as there s a
fair smattering of genre requirements, the fans will swarm

Hence, opening blasts such as 10:45 Amsterdam Conversations and This
Year s Most Open Heartbreak just pound away at your nerves and
eventually get on them!

They even repeat this trick late on, with new tracks such as Captains
of Industry and Wrench resorting to the same type of heavy
verse-melodic chorus structure of their earliest material

The compilation briefly rallies during its middle section, when a more
radio-friendly, melody based style of songwriting creeps into their
music. Hence, tracks like Red Is The New Black and Streetcar make a
better fist of mixing heaviness with restraint

History, meanwhile, is the standout track a power ballad that builds
really nicely amid decent verse structure, strong vocals and polished
guitar work

Into Oblivion and Walk Away also emerge as highlights before the
general aura of heaviness kicks back in and the album resorts to
formula

As Funeral For A Friend look to begin the next phase of their career
they might want to keep in mind that a little bit more diversity would
go a long way

Deluxe edition including a bonus cd of great rarities, b-sides etc
