The Way It Ends

Listening notes

Currents (3) released The Way It Ends in 2022 through SharpTone Records, catalog number 5326. The album appears in the metalcore and rock genres and received a vinyl pressing, making it available in a physical format that the genre's collector community has increasingly embraced in recent years.

The record is sequenced across two sides. Side A opens with "Never There" and moves through five additional tracks: "A Flag To Wave," "Poverty Of Self," "Monsters," "Kill The Ache," and "Let Me Leave." Side B carries the album to its conclusion across five tracks of its own, beginning with "Origin" and continuing through "Split," "Second Skin," "How I Fall Apart," and closing with "Better Days." The eleven-track sequence gives the album a relatively substantial runtime for the format, though individual track durations are not confirmed in the available data.

The title The Way It Ends, paired with track titles that suggest themes of internal conflict, departure, and perseverance, points toward lyrical territory that is thematically familiar within metalcore as a genre. Titles such as "Poverty Of Self," "Kill The Ache," and "How I Fall Apart" sit alongside the closing "Better Days" in a way that hints at a progression within the album's sequencing, though whether that arc is intentional or incidental is not something the available facts can confirm.

SharpTone Records has operated as a label with a catalog oriented toward heavier rock and metal, and this release fits within that broader positioning.

Collectors and fans of the band looking to document this release should note the SharpTone catalog number 5326 as the primary identifying reference for this pressing. Track durations were not available at the time this draft was prepared and should be verified before publication.
