For What Is Worth's latest album, "Thoughts Are My Enemies," is a raw and emotional journey through the inner turmoil of the human mind. The band's unique blend of hardcore punk and post-hardcore creates a sound that is both aggressive and introspective.
The album's opener, "No Escape," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its heavy riffs and screaming vocals. The lyrics explore the feeling of being trapped in one's own thoughts and the struggle to break free. This theme is present throughout the album, with tracks like "Spiraling Down" and "The Weight of the World" delving deeper into the darkness of the mind.
Despite the heavy subject matter, there are moments of hope and resilience on the album. "Find a Way" is a standout track with its catchy chorus and uplifting message of perseverance. The band also showcases their musical versatility with the acoustic ballad, "Broken Dreams," which provides a much-needed moment of vulnerability and reflection.
