As I Lay Dying's "An Ocean Between Us" is the most mature, yet heaviest album the group has made! Comparing "Frail Words Collapse" to this album is night and day. More melody is used in the choruses along with more guitar solos, technical riffs, and alot more blast beats. They have definitely have shown their influences from Living Sacrifice, Zao, along with other older death metal bands that have impacted the scene. In conclusion, if you love metalcore, technical guitar riffs, or just As I Lay Dying period, this is a definite must have album!
