Of course CTTS are going to be "the best" if you compare them to most of the stuff that gets passed off as Emo/Screamo these days, but they're NOT better than City of Caterpillar, Saetia, or a number of other Screamo bands.

I've never understood why As the Roots Undo gets so much praise, it just sounds like your typical Screamo to me. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but I don't really see how they stand out from the crowd.

The lyrics pwn & its a beautifully constructed album, and I really like kathy/drew's voices. But yeahhh, it aint any better then a retrospective. I do prefer it over CoC's work though.

I am the horizon.
I have dreamed of tracing rings around this world.
My arms are stretched to forever.
My fingers shake with the fear of control.
The fear I know you all know so well.
We all lay claim to our destinies.
Yet we all rise and fall with the current.

Yep, those lyrics are whiny hawthorne heights esque writing about a breakup.

Saetia "an edgy saosin?" Their "lyrics all sound trite and pop punkish?" Are you out of your mind? Have you even listened to Saetia?

They aren't even my favorite Screamo band, but you have to at least respect that they're incredibly talented.
