Reception

Critic David Fricke in Rolling Stone wrote:

Sounding like rap metal and bubble punk never happened, The Year Is One (DVL Recordings, CD) by the L.A. power trio Comes With The Fall is a record of vintage kicks: fat melodic riffing and heroically sung vocals. It's no accident that ex-Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell has used CWTF as his backing band on tour. On their own, singer-guitarist-songwriter William DuVall, bassist Adam Stanger and drummer Bevan Davies actually sound like Alice unchained, firing up the thumping classicism of "Murder Scene" and "So Cruel" with wholly modern pop heart. "We're gonna hijack time/We're gonna raise the dead," DuVall promises in "So Divine," howling like an improbable mix of Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple's Ian Gillan. Perfectly titled for an era of rebuilding, this is a great rock record for and about starting over.[1]

Personnel

gollark: Well, look, problem is that just copypasting HTML everywhere is not a great strategy.
gollark: I think that Google *using microphones in your devices to spy on you without proper consent or an easy way to disable it* is pretty bad, *especially* since you have no way to verify what it's used for or restrict that.
gollark: They have hardware video decoders so I'm not sure what the problem is.
gollark: As I said, I primarily use my laptop or tablet for watching stuff, but we have decent not-excessively-smart TVs and one of those amazon fire sticks.
