I try and go back and listen to the “emo” type bands I used to listen to about ten years ago sometimes when I’m feeling nostalgic and it’s never quite the same. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the bands I did in 2002-2003, but they don’t resonate like they used to. If you experience that same feeling then DAYTRADER’s Twelve Years will be a big album for you. It’s somewhat of a flashback. Everything down to the distinct Sapone production will feel familiar, but these aren’t just rehashed songs from a golden era.

There are three main strengths on this album, and the first is obvious. Tym’s vocals. They’re an emotional ride without too much of the signature emo “whine” that likes to rear it’s ugly head in the genre. The next is his lyrics. In the opening “Deadfriends” he sings “Don’t you ever say we’re destined to be great,” and I think he may have been on to something. The overall writing in tracks like “After-Image” show that not a single stone was left unturned when it came to details, both instrumentally and lyrically.

Yet one of the more subtle triumphs in Twelve Years comes from the rhythm section. Drummer Derrick Flanagin and bassist MikeMascarenas carry a lot of weight in making this album a new authority in the scene. From the first single “Firebreather” to “Struggle With Me”, the track most reminiscent of their debut EP Last Days of Rome, the duo produce fills and biting bass lines that act as a backbone for each track.

I’m willing to bet that this album will be for some people what early Brand New was to me. It will carry a lot of weight with a lot of people, and I’ll admit that it’s secured an early spot on my 2012 AOTY list.
