Too Bad You're Beautiful

Too Bad You're Beautiful is the debut album by the Long Island-based post-hardcore band From Autumn to Ashes. The album is unique in that it features the dual vocals of Benjamin Perri and drummer Francis Mark. Perri provides the hardcore-esque shouts while Mark sings and occasionally contributes background screams. The album was reissued in 2005 with the Sin, Sorrow, and Sadness demo as bonus tracks at the end.

Background and release
From Autumn to Ashes formed in 2000 with Benjamin Perri (vocals), Stephen Salvio (guitar) and Francis Mark (drums, clean vocals). The band spent its first few months touring and would record the EP Sin, Sorrow and Sadness, which would be released through Tribunal Records that same year. Following the EP's release, the band would appear on Warped Tour over the summer. In early 2001, From Autumn to Ashes performed with Skycamefalling and Martyr AD, where Carl Severson, founder of Ferret Music, was in attendance; the band would be signed to the label the following day. The album was produced by the band and Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage at Zing Studios in Westfield, Massachusetts. Each song on ''Too Bad You're Beautiful is written about a relationship vocalist Benjamin Perri had. The album was released through Ferret Music on August 14, 2001. Too Bad You're Beautiful'' has sold over 100,000 units and remains one of Ferret's best-selling releases. ==Track listing==
Reception and legacy
''Too Bad You're Beautiful'' has received highly positive reviews since its release. The album is often considered to be one of the best metalcore albums ever released. Chronicles of Chaos reviewer Xander Hoose praised the band's ability to mix fast-paced hardcore with slower, melodic moments. Hoose criticized drummer Francis Mark's clean vocals noting his vocals were off-key at times and kept the album from being perfect. ==Personnel==
