The obligatory metalcore breakdowns are also there, and, again, unlike many other metalcore artists – especially deathcore ones – Stick To Your Guns do not overdo things, and many of the breakdowns are groovy have a very moshing-friendly quality to them. Stick To Your Guns do not overdo this, however, and I think it works pretty well most of the time. However, Stick To Your Guns also feature several elements from the more melodic type of metalcore, such as clean vocals and even some almost poppy ooh-ooh-whoah-aahs in a tracks like 'Against Them All', 'We Still Believe', and 'Bringing You Down'. In all fairness, Stick To Your Guns strike me as being among the more potent metalcore-bands, and their style definitely belongs to the more hardcore-oriented end of the metalcore, featuring riot-vocals and a lot of steret attitude, which is especially prevalent in 'Empty Heads' and 'Life in a Box' as well as 'Bringing You Down'. I hope I will be forgiven for, having glanced the the cover art before listening to the music itself, mistakenly expecting this album to be an all out dirty hardcore crust punk onslaught and not the polished-but-aggressive metalcore songs that Diamond actually contains.
