3. Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows D.R.U.G.S.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPkXSpyrv88 When Craig Owens departed the extremely popular Chiodos to form what some described as a super band with Aaron Stern (of Matchbook Romance), Nick Martin (of Underminded), Matt Good (of From First to Last) and Adam Russell (of Story of the Year), there were mixed feelings amongst fans of Owens. Many felt that he had deserted Chiodos, however when D.R.U.G.S released their self-titled album in 2011, much of those feelings of resentment disappeared altogether. The record was an unquestionable success, Owens was seen to have delivered some of his best vocals, both clean and unclean, to date and the catchy and consistent nature of each track on the album made it practically impossible not to love, even for the most ardent Chiodos fan. Huge choruses amongst tracks such as If You Think This Song Is about You, It Probably Is and bonus track A Little Kiss and Tell stand out on this album. 'I'm Here to Take the Sky' is less in your face and perhaps not for everyone, but it ensures that the album is not too predictable, and is an extremely catchy song. 'I'm the Rehab, You're the Drugs' is simply a work of art and has everything you could wish for in a post hardcore song.
