“This Is Usually the Part Where People Scream” starts off with lead guitars being harmonized, and then the drumming kicks in.
For all those of you thinking my quips are off-base, let us at last take a look at the first song off this self-gratifying record. Look at the definition of “huck” a distinctive absorbent weave? I mean sure, his bizarre way of dancing is surely reminiscent of herpes-absorbed piece of cotton, but how can anyone take this band seriously.
Aside from being dignified with the ability to create his own single called “Ferguson-licious”, the “Huck” has a name as strange as his character, and a voice that’s really as feminine as his look. Part of this self-destructive pattern that a listener like I, who has happened to catch a glimpse of Alesana’s crew, go though is a result of Adam “Huck” Ferguson. Clearly this is what happens when youtube is careless about their lack of censorship.
However, Alesana also has that little side-effect where you basically want to snip some of your pubes off and stick it under your chin to make a beard. If you’ve seen the music video for “Ambrosia” then you’d probably know it has the same effect on you as watching Samwell’s “What What, In the Butt” or seeing a black metal chick on the street. Unfortunately they’re not, failing on all levels in conveying the same healthy image that Set Your Goals does. I’m guessing if anyone didn’t know better, they’d think the whole band was a bunch of pre-pubescent rebels. Alesana on the other hand completely comply with this image themselves. A track like “Goonies Never Say Die” has that raw, youthful energy to make you want to experience all the liberty, for the lack of better word, attached to the early stages of life. I mean, aside from the fact that, let’s say, Alesana would have the same sort of appeal as a band like Set Your Goals, both of them ascertain this appeal on very different levels. I’ve implied before, but I will say it now Alesana is a joke, and somehow I think if I grabbed a couple of 3rd graders, my grandma who would cough up a lung faster than she’d sing, and a mule with aids, I could probably make a better band than Alesana. In doing that I’ve in turn had the urge to write down my thoughts, as if to convert my raging masochism into words and trap its horrible nature on this page. I’m actually doing this while listening to the album. What the *** was I thinking? Now I sit here, pondering over the decent-leveled sort of the praise that the band is receiving in the two other reviews posted here. I went on to acquire their newest release "Where Myths Fade…" a few days after its release date hoping there would be some welcome change or newfound maturity to Alesana’s sound.
I can see where “OFWoV” would have some sort of intrigue at first with its catchiness and raw, approachable sound but, also its quite blatant that this intrigue would quickly fade with repeated listens. Why I ended up downloading the album is still considered unfathomable by me to this day, but even more unfathomable was the fact that I actually jumped on the ‘bandwagon’ and downloaded their 2008 follow-up “Where Myth Fades to Legend”. During this time I generally self-indulged in music that elicited some different type of emotional outpour which is why Alesana wasn't up my alley at all. I had heard several songs from this LP prior to acquiring it in its entirety which struck me as pretty bad.

“On Frail Wings of Vanity”, released in 2006, was the record that introduced me to Alesana, which in its wake was the band’s only full length alongside their EP.
