Armor For Sleep are probably too emo for most hardcore metal maniacs, but even so, you have to admit that this group has an affinity for writing a memorable melody. These guys are much closer to Good Charlotte or Story Of The Year than many fans might care to admit, but regardless of this fact, Armor For Sleep show themselves to write dramatic, catchy material that stays with you for hours. 'The Truth About Heaven' finds the group pulling off a definite college radio smash. Bizarre photographs adorn the album's liner, which lends an almost Pink Floyd abstractness to the group's overall image. Other solid cuts here include 'Remember To Feel Real', 'The More You Talk The Less I Hear' and the odd sounding 'Basement Ghost Singing'. Overall, there's not very much heavy going on here, except for a heavy dose of emotion that will have the girls swooning.

Kurt Cobain originally called his group Skid Row, unaware of the '80s hair-metal band (whose music Cobain would later wipe off the charts) that used the name already. Ironically, after settling on Nirvana and achieving worldwide success, the group was sued by the '60s psychedelic outfit with the same name. Fortunately, the bands settled the dispute amicably, finding enough Nirvana to share between them.
