Senses Fail singer Buddy Nielsen wasn’t convinced at first about embarking on a 10-year anniversary tour to celebrate his band’s 2004 debut full-length album, “Let It Enfold You.” But the Ridgewood native’s fans won him over.
“It’s not something I necessarily wanted to do,” Nielsen said by phone ahead of Senses Fail’s show in Sayreville on Saturday. “I’m not big on re-creating the past because I tend not to live there.
“But our fans have been asking for this and I realized how it would make people happy, which made the reasons that I didn’t want to do it seem selfish,” Nielsen said. “Then once I got into it I realized that it would be fun and that I do really like this record and it does make sense.”
“Let It Enfold You’s” amalgam of furious yet infectious punk and hardcore riffs topped by Nielsen’s alternating melodic and shouted vocals made an immediate impact. The album entered the Billboard Top 200 albums chart at No. 34 and the band landed a spot on the Warped Tour, the prestigious traveling punk rock festival.
