Trystan's Best #16: Have Heart - The Things We Carry

Released: August 4th, 2006

Not that I'm an authority on the genre or anything, but I think it's safe to say that Have Heart's The Things We Carry is the best hardcore album of the decade. In a scene that can at times be diluted with bands that all sound the same (although, what scene isn't?), Have Heart dole out breakdowns and hooks that make you feel like you're listening to hardcore for the first time again. Patrick Flynn's vocals are ferocious and desperate all at once, and his lyrics are unmatched by anyone in his field except maybe that dude in Bane. This is music to get back on your feet to, if you don't believe me, just listen to closer "Watch Me Rise".
