This came out in 2005 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Emo-punks tend to treat everything like a matter of life and death, but New Jersey’s Armor For Sleep take it to a whole new level.
Their intense, well-crafted sophomore set What to Do When You Are Dead is fixated on suicide and the afterlife, with ghost-eye-view tracks like Car Underwater and The Truth About Heaven (“it rains… all day long”). But man, if those slashing serrated guitars, roiling grooves and anguished vocals don’t get your pulse up, jack, you’re dead. Killer stuff. Gotta love the artsy little Hipgnosis-style booklet that comes with the CD, too.
