Its a rare find when a band doesn't sound like every other band that surrounds them. Scarlet is one of those bands that doesn't fit any "genres" or "styles", they are simply just Scarlet. Unconventional time signatures, technical riffs, vocals that push the throat to its limits, then soar into a melody like no other. This is what Scarlet is, and always was. This was their first album without their vocalist Jon Spencer, and first with Brandon Roundtree. Unfortunately, it would be the last for the band as well. it might have been the fact that alot of fans missed the signature sound of Jon Spencer after he left to join Spitfire, or maybe it was more. Either way, their final offering was a great note to go out on. "This Was Always Meant To Fall Apart" is an under appreciated album by the music scene, and by Scarlet fans who turned their backs on this release. This album is well worth the time, or else its just your loss.
