Converge

[whiteminority]

Obviously most everyone in here likes Converge, but what is everyones favorite album and why?

splits, demos, and Caring and Killing not included. Caring and Killing not included since its just a re-issue of halo in a haystack with some demos.

[ZaaR]

I just got You Fail Me for Christmas from my friend and it's amazing! I love it. I saw them back in October with Cursed, Terror, and Mare in Toronto on the Aggresive Tendencies Tour.

[whiteminority]

Halo in a Haystack, because the sheer power and emotion of it just blows my mind. I was also sort of dissapointed when I lost on my bid for this album yesterday on ebay to a dude from Perth, Australia by one ****ing dollar.

[pixiesfanyo]

Petitioning the Empty Sky

It's just fantastic, and I'm a big fan of raw production.

[Berserker!]

Petitioning

[TakeWarning]

Halo in a Haystack, because the sheer power and emotion of it just blows my mind. I was also sort of dissapointed when I lost on my bid for this album yesterday on ebay to a dude from Perth, Australia by one ****ing dollar.

Haha, that was me.

[whiteminority]

Damn, I hope you like it. That day sucked I also lost on a the s/t Saetia 7", pg. 99/majority rule split on gold, and a red scare split. The first and the last while my cpu was frozen.

I take that back on the pg. 99/majority rule split, I just got it because the winner couldn't pay. Sweet.

[Gnarmageddon]

When Forever Comes Crashing, then Jane Doe.

[Mr. Ron]

Petitioning
Same here.


Although I do enjoy their latest album too.

[Luxor]

Jane Doe, then Petitioning.

**** You Fail Me.

[Berserker!]

You said they were boring a few months ago

[Mr. Ron]

Jane Doe, then Petitioning.

**** You Fail Me.
I like their sound on YFM. Some change is good.

[south_guitar]

My favorites are WFCC, PTES, and Jane Doe. I voted WFCC, I think it's overlooked compared to PTES and Jane Doe.

[SubtleDagger]

Petitioning, then Jane.

[Mr. Ron]

Antithesis

Idle chatter sounds much better to the absent mind.
Govern me, kill thy master.
You will not enslave me.
THe root is bitter but the fruit is sweet, but not exempt from criticism.
Small pox friendship.
You die, I take, you are the new slave.
Don't call me god, because I don't have a disease.
What is cold to you is love to me.
Savior seething, rolling you in, cherub in red said there's nothing to see here.
Hallowed be who art in heaven, I refuse to call that ****er by name.



Their best lyrics *IMO*.

[SubtleDagger]

Lyrics? Phooey.

This is all you need to know to sing along to Converge:

RAA RAA RAA RAAAAA

And then just mumble incoherently on the singing parts.

[k1ckthecat]

i thought Jane Doe would dominate

[SubtleDagger]

i thought Jane Doe would dominate
So did I.

I was pleasantly surprised.

[Mr. Ron]

Lyrics? Phooey.

Just sayin'.

They have very good lyrics for a band that you can hardly understand even with their lyrics infront of you.:amaze:

[k1ckthecat]

i didn't even know Converge had lyrics, i thought he was just screaming random syllabels that sounded good together

[Mr. Ron]

i didn't even know Converge had lyrics, i thought he was just screaming random syllabels that sounded good together
Bannon can scream "potato" for 5 minutes and I wouldn't care.

[SubtleDagger]

I bet that would kill.

They should just have drums with it too. >_>

[Neoteric]

When Forever Comes Crashing.

[Mr. Ron]

I bet that would kill.

They should just have drums with it too. >_>
POTAOT POTATO POTATO POTAAAATTOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

REAAAAHHWAAHHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!


POTATO POTATO GUUHHHAAAHH!!


PO TAAAAAAAA TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!


FCIWBAERUIAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


/BLAST BEAT



*fin*

[SubtleDagger]

Haha, I thought of "Color Me Blood Red" when I read that.

RAAA RAAA RAAA RAAAAAA

[Mr. Ron]

Nah, their next single will be titled "color me carrot juice".


Please love, just come home again(to make me carrot juice). Just let this one pass, there will be another(carrot). And this after before the pain. Every deliberate hangs by my left hand(like a carrot). Those eyelids and this warm water floods my nostrils(like the scent of carrot juice). Neck deep, i cry high (JUUUIICCEEE!!!!). Together we sleep, slouched discolored porcelain. Dreaming of those elucid moments when smiles hang high(I wish i had some carrot juice...). Limbs outsretchded, a bad moon rising(Carrots growing). Faucet turning. Desolation churning. Drowning in what we've become. Neck deep, i cry high. I have spilled and you cannot fathom the notion, that it was the end of something. This is the end. (but not the bottom of my glass of carrot juice).

[cbmartinez]

Jane Doe is their best. None of the others have the combination of the perfect recording, the beautiful flow, and the varition of styles like Jane Doe has. PTES is hard-hitting but is too focused on traditional metalcore to have the amazing blend of styles that Jane Doe has.

[Gnarmageddon]

:lol:

This whole conversation is making me laugh.

Hahaha, when Petitioning was out there was no traditional metalcore.

[Mr. Ron]

"Bitter cold" by Bannon;s old side project "Supermachiner" (J. Bannon & Kurt Ballou) is pretty evil.

Not really. And what I mean is too much basic "metallic hardcore" riffing.

[comptonasseddy]

Jane Doe rules all. I also like the fact that i duno what the hell hes singing about. I wonder how much his voice hurts after a gig tho, i can like scream the 1st verse of fault and fracture and my throat kills. I have respect for that man.

[BuddyBigsby]

Really, they're all top notch in their own way. But I went with Petitioning because I listen to it the most.

[Lazybassplr56]

Petitioning but I also really like Jane Doe.

also a killer song of their best album.

[Excursions]

I can't get into the music.

[Lazybassplr56]

Most people get turned off by the vocals.

[whiteminority]

I like Bannon's voice. I think it has a real high emotional quality.

[Excursions]

Most people get turned off by the vocals.

Yes, that's what I mean. I don't really like the music either however.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Janet Doet.

[Lazybassplr56]

Yes, that's what I mean. I don't really like the music either however.

Have you listened to The Saddest Day?

[40 oz 2 freedom]

This thread is dumb, why would anybody vote for Y2K or Serial Killer?

[Pale-Folklore]

actually, the only one i have is you fail me as i'm not willing to pay between 23 and 30 dollars for their other records..

you fail me is wicked though in my opinion.
love bannon's vocals on it





AGRESSIVE TENDENCIES TOUR WAS GOOD!

[conniption]

Petitioning The Empty Sky. So good.

[whiteminority]

This thread is dumb, why would anybody vote for Y2K or Serial Killer?
Keeping the options open. Y2K is good but more metal than I expected.

[Times Ten]

PTES followed by Jane Doe.

[Rockafella]

Petitioning The Empty Sky.

I NEED JANE DOE!!!!!

[axeslinga_32]

jane doe changed my life.

[Shikyo]

actually, the only one i have is you fail me as i'm not willing to pay between 23 and 30 dollars for their other records..

Uhm... no?

Interpunk has them all for around $11 to $12. Actually, You Fail Me is the most expensive on Interpunk. I suggest you go there right now and pick up some of the others.

I voted for Petitioning The Empty Sky. The Saddest Day and Color Me Blood Red... I'm pretty sure that tells you why it has my vote.

[Arrakakaka]

Jane Doe because it has never really worn off. There's less thrashy riffage and more grind-esque songs.
