Arrivals & Departures is the third studio album by Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein. It was released on July 2, 2007,[1] on Victory. Silverstein promoted the album with music videos for the tracks "If You Could See Into My Soul" and "Still Dreaming".

Background and recording

[edit]

Following touring the U.S. on The Never Shave Again tour in November 2006, Silverstein announced they planned to work on a new album in 2007.[2] Throughout the winter, the band spent time writing songs.[3]

The band began recording Arrivals & Departures with producer Mark Trombino in March 2007.[3] Guitarist Josh Bradford said Trombino's production style went well with the band's vision.[4] The album was influenced by Alexisonfire's Crisis (2006).[5] Rob Sayce of Rock Sound said the band followed Alexisonfire lead and moved away from their roots "in search of a more focused approach".[5] As a result, the album alienated some of the band's fans.[5]

...People didn't seem to latch on to it as much as Discovering the Waterfront. And I guess in a way I understand that because Arrivals & Departures was personal. And in terms of production we went for a stripped down rock record. It wasn't a super slick record like Discovering The Waterfront. There weren't a lot of guitar tracks, the drum tracks were pretty raw sounding and there wasn't a lot of backing vocals. It was a rock record. -Shane Told[6]

Release

[edit]

In May 2007, Silverstein appeared at The Bamboozle festival.[7] As Arrivals & Departues was announced on May 15, 2007, the track listing and artwork was revealed.[8] On June 1, "Sound of the Sun" was made available for streaming on their Myspace profile.[9][10] "If You Could See into My Soul" was made available for streaming on June 19,[11] before being released to radio a week later.[12] From mid June to mid September, the group went a North American tour with Rise Against and Comeback Kid.[11] Arrivals & Departures was initially planned for release in May[2] before eventually being released on July 3 through Victory.[13][nb 1] A Best Buy edition of the album featured two bonus tracks: "Rain Will Fall" and "Falling Down".[nb 2] A 7" vinyl, featuring "If You Could See into My Soul", was available to those who pre-ordered the album;[13] limited to 3,500 copies.[15][nb 3] The B-side features an etching of the album's artwork.[16]

On July 19, a music video was released for "If You Could See Into My Soul".[17] In October and November, the group went on a headlining tour of the U.S. with support from From Autumn to Ashes, Strike Anywhere, A Day to Remember and Dance Gavin Dance.[18] They ended the year with an appearance at the Saints & Sinners Festival.[19] In January 2008, the group went on a tour of Australia with Set Your Goals.[20] In February and March, the band went on a US tour alongside the Devil Wears Prada, A Day to Remember, Protest the Hero and Four Letter Lie; Protest the Hero later dropped off citing personal issues.[21][22] A music video was released for "Still Dreaming" on February 27.[23] "Still Dreaming" was released as a promo single on May 5.[24] That same month, they performed at the Give it a Name festival in the UK and returned to Canada, where they appeared at the S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival.[25][26]

While the album gained many positive reviews, many fans felt let down by the album, as it showed a change in style from post-hardcore to a more conventional rock-based sound.[30][31] Alternative Press listed the album as one of the most anticipated albums of the year.[4]

The album debuted at number 25 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling about 27,000 copies in its first week.[32]

Frontman Shane Told expressed his discontent with the album and his experience with producer Mark Trombino in a 2018 interview with Four Year Strong, remarking “it’s just our worst record.”[33]
