Background

Alesana released a book titled "Annabel" on August 31. The short novel tells the story that the band's three concept albums are based around, including a special edition of Confessions with new artwork and two extra songs. [5]

Reception

Timothy Mongle of Allmusic wrote that Confessions "eschews traditional labels" and called the band's self-description of "sweetcore" a fusion of screamo with "highly theatrical alt-rock". [6] The album debuted at number 47 on Billboard's Top Album Sales and 82 on the Billboard 200.[ citation needed ]
