For Those Who Have Heart

For Those Who Have Heart is the second studio album by the American rock band A Day to Remember, and their first for Victory.

For the album, the band had a line-up change swapping drummer Bobby Scruggs for Alex Shelnutt.

Recorded and mixed at Zing Studios by producer Eric Arena, the album was re-released in February 2008, with additional tracks and a bonus DVD.

[2][3] As rhythm guitarist Neil Westfall said, Indianola "didn't have money to support a band growing [...] so we wanted to find someone who could support us and willing to do video, like recording budget, working with a producer, studio we wanted to work with, whatever.

[6] Eventually, bassist Joshua Woodard and Westfall recruited drummer Alex Shelnutt[5] only three days before going on tour.

[5] Upon Shelnutt joining, Westfall said the group "started sounding like a real professional band.

[12] Recording began in October at Zing Studios, Westfield with producer Eric Arena.

[12] Prior to the release of the album, a few tracks were made available for streaming via the band's Myspace: "The Plot to Bomb the Panhandle",[13] "Fast Forward to 2012",[14] "The Danger in Starting a Fire", "A Shot in the Dark" and "Show 'Em the Ropes".

[20] On March 8, the band released the music video for "The Plot to Bomb the Panhandle",[21] which featured Ron Jeremy.

"[34] On the new tracks, producer Andrew Wade said "I think this new stuff that we're recording is really gonna blow a lot of kids away.

"[34] The performance included on the DVD was filmed at the Capitol, a building that used to be a bank, in Ocala,[34] on January 5, 2008.

[34] In February and March 2008, the band went on a US tour alongside Silverstein, the Devil Wears Prada, Protest the Hero and Four Letter Lie.

[51] The band played an acoustic version of "Monument" and two tracks from Homesick (2009) for KROQ on August 3, 2010.

[62] AllMusic reviewer Corey Apar spoke of "Fast Forward to 2012" as being an appropriate opening track that summarized a "display of the band's volatile persona; it launches forth in melodic hardcore mode before quickly dropping into death snarling and sludgy riffing".

[1] For PopMatters, Andrew Blackie had written the album was a mix of "death metal grunts with the brash melodies of pop-punk".

[20] Speaking of "The Plot to Bomb the Panhandle", Blackie said the song had "a Green Day sensibility to it", with music that "fitted together with class and precision" helped by that of Shelnutt.

[20] Punknews.org contributor Tyler Barrett said "Fast Forward to 2012" was "incredibly promising" but within "mere seconds the melodic punk is replaced by vocals that sound like a post-Taco Bell burrito belch".

[63] About the band playing "The Price We Pay", he also said the group had fallen "equally flat with their attempt at acoustic emo pop" with "horrifically banal lyrics".
