the lyrics are pretty cheesy, but I personally really enjoy the new song.

I think the new song is pretty good and better than most songs off this. Plus, it's only the first song released so who knows what the rest of the album has in store.

Singles from these types of bands usually boil down to either being bad or generic to keep the interest of the kiddies of the fanbase.

It's ABR, the new album isn't gonna be groundbreaking, but they're still a way above average metalcore band.

New song was good, but not anything special

The new song was put together very well as far as structure goes, it had great flow. I thought the riffs and melodies were pretty good. Some of the faster 2/4 parts were nothing new but overall I liked it quite a bit.

Agreed Wack. It's nothing amazing but it's fun.

The new song sounds like cut and paste from everything they have written before. All 4 riffs.

Technically that has been their whole career now.

I really dig the new song, and I think it's probably one of the more standard songs on the album. They

said they'd be trying a bunch of new stuff and I don't hear any of it on this song so I guess we have

to wait to hear how that works out.



On a side note: Do the mods hate ABR? It took that guy like 5 tries to get the album news up and now

they're shooting down the news about this song release.

"Technically that has been their whole career now."

Yeah, they have essentially repackaged the same songs over and over.

Judging by Leveler, pushing musical boundaries to ABR means inserting random stuff into their music. The new song basically did that too.

Hell, if they basically rehash another Constellations to an extent while adding in some newer ideas I won't complain.

That one is a decent album. I actually don't mind this band if I listen to only a song or two. Any more than that and I get bored.

If bands stay the same, fans complain that they're stale and boring. if they try something new, they're ridiculed and fans tell them they should of stuck to their original sound.

Leveler was too much of a re-hash of Constellations. Atleast there's a few more original melodies on this song that don't sound like anything they've already done. Like I said the faster 2/4 parts were pretty standard for them.

Not if they can actually write better music.

ABR just need to quite abusing the shit out of C-minor. I don't like hearing the same fucking melodies used over and over in ABR and melodic metalcore in general, that's why I'm not really into it.

Yeah @Demi, Constellations is still really good. I hated this band until I heard that album.



I should probably lower my rating for this.
