Fear Inside Our Bones is the third studio album by alternative rock band The Almost, who also produced the album with Marshall Altman. It was released on June 11, 2013 by Tooth & Nail Records and was met with both commercial success and critical acclaim.
Kim Jones of About.com told that this was "more classic rock." [2] At CCM Magazine , Matt Conner agreed in writing that "Fear Inside Our Bones is a fantastic rock-and-roll affair that shows just how much Gillespie has matured." [3] Christian Music Zine's Tyler Hess noted that "there isn't just a single here or there that will help sell it on the radio, this is a solid, guitar-wailing, cymbal-clashing, ethereal rock album that must be listened to from beginning to end." [4] In addition, Hess wrote that this release was "full of gritty rock and rules madness". [4] At HM , Doug Van Pelt felt that "The Almost might've committed a scene faux pas by rocking out so hard in such a straight-forward way, but if the audience will listen, the energy invoked on these 11 tracks has a great chance of strengthening their fanbase." [5] Michael Weaver of Jesus Freak Hideout stated that the release "has even more of a stark difference from its predecessors. Much of the album features a southern sound; it even has some alt-country at times. The album also contains a bit of a 90s alternative feel as well." [1]
At Kill Your Stereo, Rob Foster found that "The new recording style has given the band a far darker, grittier, and more intense sound than they've had on previous records, and it only serves to do good for them." [6] Melodic.net's Johan Wippsson wrote that "Gone are the punk and emo influences as the alternative rock has taken all the space this time even if you can find some power-pop traces here and there." [7] At Revolver , Meghan Traynor told that the album contained "candid lyrics", and that the album had a penchant for delivering "thundering rhythms and crunchy guitars fans will love, at times even tapping into the pop-rock effervescence of the Foo Fighters." [8] Rock Sound called the music "expectedly succinct", and doing this "With a fine balance of delicate melodies, rhythmic guitars and raw emotion, there are plenty of songs with the same atmospheric sounds". [9] At Outburn , Nathaniel Lay evoked that "this collection is track after track of gritty, powerful rock 'n' roll." [10]
In March 2013, the group supported Finch on their US tour. [11] "I'm Down" was released to radio on June 4. [12] Fear Inside Our Bones was released on June 11 by Tooth & Nail Records. [1]

[3] Christian Music Zine's Tyler Hess called this "an album lover's album" that he did not know if the band "set out to save rock and roll from the clutches of inane pop music, but they may have just done it anyway with one of the best albums of the year so far". [4] At HM , Doug Van Pelt told that "The process translates into an energetic album." [5] Michael Weaver of Jesus Freak Hideout proclaimed this to be "a fantastic sounding record", which "The Almost have produced a stellar product that has the ability to excite current fans and gain new listeners, but it also has the slight possibility of alienating some as well."
