A Day To Remember – What Separates Me From You

What Separates Me From You is the fourth studio album by A Day To Remember, released in 2010. It refines their blend of metalcore, pop punk and post-hardcore, offering tighter songwriting, stronger production and moments that swing between heavy aggression and melodic hooks. The tracks maintain their signature balance—breakdown-laden choruses, catchy vocal lines, and guitar tones that can digest both drive and subtlety.

The musicianship is sharper and the dynamics broader compared to earlier albums. Hits like All I Want, It’s Complicated, All Signs Point To Lauderdale and You’re So Last Summer show how they tightened arrangements while keeping the emotional punch. Lyrically, the record deals with themes of alienation, perseverance and relationships, making the mix of heaviness and catchiness feel earnest rather than formulaic.

Reviews

“ADTR are still plenty ambitious but seem to have grown up. What Separates Me From You finds them embracing an even wider spectrum of moods than ever before.” — Alternative Press

“Though the group’s strength has always been in writing hooks, this time they tighten the screws, and What Separates Me From You feels like a more consistent album from start to finish.” — AbsolutePunk

“A Day To Remember make it their business to keep you off-balance—I’ve rarely encountered a band who can combine melodic radio riffs, with breakdowns, and verses that push annoyance, disdain and hope on terms you can sing along to.” — Kerrang!
