Album Review: Figure by Into It. Over It.
Very Good, Based on 3 Critics
Based on rating 4/5
'Figure', Evan Weiss' fourth studio album as Into It. Over It. displays a heavier sound than his previous output. With his layered vocals still at centre stage, the record blends his introspective tenderness with a vast wave of emo-tinged instrumentation. It provides a crashing backdrop to his ….
Based on rating 6/10
On Into It. Over It.'s last album, Standards, Evan Thomas Weiss made his "I'm thirty and afraid" album. It's a topic that can be overboiled and underwritten (looking at you, The Menzingers), but Weiss took a possibly menial subject and gave it a real sense of stakes and excitement. It didn't hurt that the songs rocked: even though opener Open Casket gave signs of it being recorded in a cabin, cuts like Closing Argument and Vis Major were as life-affirming and exhilarating as Weiss' 2011 and 2013 albums.
Opinion: Very Good
Evan Weiss has really done some amazing things with Into It. Over It., with the act not just being a solo run with a guitar, but a full band that's influenced and also helped guide production for Midwest emo bands like Annabel. In fact, when you weigh in similar sounds such as Koji and a few others, IIOI is considered as an essential band for last decade's emo revival.
