AMG Review of At Night We Live

Gregory Heaney
All Music Guide

Despite calling it quits over a decade ago, Far’s influence on the post-hardcore landscape can still be felt today. Their blend of melodic pop and metal has crept its way into the pop culture landscape, even seeming to influence contemporaries like the Deftones, who still continue to experiment more and more with melody in contrast to raw, youthful aggression. Now, Far have returned with their first album since 1998 with At Night We Live, which finds them continuing down the trail they set off on when they split up. A logical progression from Water & Solutions, this album finds the band at their most mellow and polished, feeling like the most “grown-up” Far album to date. At Night We Live seamlessly picks up where Far left off so many years ago, giving fans the album they’ve been patiently waiting for all this time.
