notes
The groundwork was being laid even as their last album was wrapping up in 2005, but it took well over two years for This Glass Embrace's magnum opus to see the light of day. A sweeping, intricate tale of love, substance abuse, and psychological maladjustment, "A Ghost in the Photograph" tells one story from start to finish, but the songs themselves are anything but uniform. Infectious power pop runs up against brooding post-hardcore; acoustic ballads face off against towering epics. Through it all, the lyrics weave a disarmingly honest narrative of a fractured couple faced with an array of private demons. Dishonesty, alcoholism, passive-aggressiveness and a possibly haunted house stagger inexorably towards the grand finale. But for all of this, each song stands on its own two feet. This Glass Embrace have set out to create nothing short of a masterpiece; a grandiose concept album that is also a memorable collection of intelligent rock songs.
