The awesome irony of A City by the Light Divided is that, under producer Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips), this is the Jersey quintet's most riff-heavy, unified work yet. Combining the youthful aggression of 2001's Full Collapse (led by stellar anthem ''Autobiography of a Nation'') and the solid, if stilted, professionalism of their major-label debut, 2003's War All the Time, Fridmann guides screamo's best band into stronger (the hooky single ''Counting 5-4-3-2-1'') and more eclectic (the crashing organ instumental ''The Light'') territory—and to their crowning achievement.
