What It Is to Burn is the debut album by U.S. band Finch. It was produced by former Drive Like Jehu drummer Mark Trombino (Jimmy Eat World, Madina Lake, Blink 182). Daryl Palumbo from New York rock band Glassjaw makes a guest appearance on two songs, "Grey Matter" and "Project Mayhem". The first pressing of the album contained a demo version of "What It Is to Burn"—which was originally on the compilation album Welcome to the Family (2001)—instead of the re-recorded version that was on later pressings.
Reception
The album received a generally positive reception. A five star review was given by Punktastic reviewer Paul Savage, who remarks that the band "puts 110% into every single song", as well as praising the emotion and Daryl Palumbo's influence.[1] Allmusic rated the album with 4 out of 5 stars, commenting "Finch's full-length debut is a phenomenal account of a band riding the thin line between hardcore and pop-punk while retaining a trademark sound that stands out from the crowd", as well as being an album pick.[2] Ryan Flatley of Sputnik Music praised "Grey Matter" and "Project Mayhem" for their energy, but states that the album turned out to be a bit of a disappoinment due to the large amount of hype surrounding the release, giving it an overall 3 stars.[3]
