Breakdowns?

[ReachForTheSky]

Why do some many people have such a strong hatred for breakdowns?

[Eliminator]

in this part it sounds like the singer wants to fight

[ncnxonattronn]

you raped!

i feel dirty!

it hurt!

as a bitch!

tied down!

that's a good cunt!

you fuked!

your own bitch!

[guitrguy]

Why do some many people have such a strong hatred for breakdowns?

because of people like you

[Pebster49]

Why do some many people have such a strong hatred for breakdowns?

Because most of the time it kills the melodicness in the song...I still like some breakdowns, but some bands over do it.

[2muchket!]

people just dont like the Juns and the Wees m'afraid :(

or brokills

[omgwtfboogie]

They often show a lack of creativity.

[encmetalhead]

this could've gone in metalcore and/or deathcore

[Eliminator]

you could've gone in a dumpster

[Sponer]

The breakdown at the end of The Ocean's Statherian is pretty epic tbh.

[Pebster49]

Breakdowns can be awesome when not used 3000 times a song...I feel 2999 is enough

[beans]

people on this site hate them when they are overused or just plain unnecessary
bands like winds of plague and abrb just use them to fill time and try and sound cool
but they end up overusing them so much it just gets dumb, plus there's only so many ways you can time palm mutes before they all start sounding the same

[hXcPLISIT]

Since ABRB was mentioned, I'm gonna say that I do like the breakdown at the end of Beneath the Surface, and both breakdowns in Hester Prynne.

I guess I'm a bad person now.

[beans]

im not going to knock on anyone for liking them cause there are some that i find appealing that most dont and im sure that goes for everyone on this site. so whatever

[bringonthebreakdown]

they are generally looked down on by the elitists but i love me some good jun jun wees. (hence the name)

[dinosaurxbrocore]

some breakdowns are amazing, others are poorly placed and written

as blood runs black really doesn't use that many breakdowns in comparison to other bands, yet their breakdowns blow dick because they're so drawn out and monotonous

[beans]

i guess imo a breakdown must serve something to the song by being there
not just being there to take up 30 seconds that the band didnt know how to fill

[Eliminator]

perfect example of horribly placed breakdown:

misery signals - the failsafe

[dinosaurxbrocore]

i disagree

[adb]

a lot of breakdowns kill momentum in a song, but I do enjoy them, especially non-core ones

[RetiredAt21]

Too many bands nowadays use breakdowns way too much. There are plenty of good breakdowns, though.

[Pebster49]

Like the ones when you cry...those breakdowns can be brutal!

[hXcPLISIT]

^ Just an awful post. Sorry, man.

[Siberian Dreamer]

That's pretty much it.
It sounds great if the breakdown is a great riff in itself and there's a good build up to it.

[Luc214]

As Blood Runs Black have awful breakdowns.

They get into a cool groove and then they break and slooooow it waaaaaay doooooown and then it sounds absolutely hysterical.

[beans]

it just drags the song down, i would like them a bit more if they would just find a way to incorporate them better

[RetiredAt21]

the first breakdown in the feeling grows is probably my favorite breakdown atm

[beans]

im sorry but the vocals are atrocious, music would be ok if it had a better recording

[The Feeding]

my heart beats in breakdowns

[omgwtfboogie]

Must be a savage tremor, check with your cardiologist. Half time is impending death.

[dinosaurxbrocore]

im sorry but the vocals are atrocious, music would be ok if it had a better recording

theyre currently recording with my one friend actually, his recordings will own the ones they have up, and aside from that URGH URGH midrange thing trav does, his vocals rule imo.

[RetiredAt21]

LOL, nerd.

[Dimmu Burger]

my heart beats in breakdowns

Junjun junjun junjun junjun junjun!

[RetiredAt21]

I'd rather listen to Evergreen Terrace than most new metalcore bands.

[hXcPLISIT]

They have a couple nice breakdowns on their album Wolfbiker.

[beans]

they sound really forced to me, although i do enjoy that album from time to time

[CymrychHugh]

In the local scene around here, if you have "sick breakdowns bro" you are c*ckworshipped. I think im a lil biased because of the people who throwdown at shows and ruin it for innocent bystanders.

[RetiredAt21]

What's everyones favorite breakdown?

I think the breakdown in "Conduit" is one of the best.

THIS TIME IT'S WAR
THIS TIME IT'S WAR

**** is epic.

[2muchket!]

The breakdown at the end of The Darkest Tomb by Architects.

Symphony in Peril - Stiletto is pretty good.

*cough* a suspended sentence *cough*

[Shred Danson]

The breakdown in "Power of the Morning Star" by With Faith or Flames owns everything ever created.

lol I couldn't say that with a straight face

[dinosaurxbrocore]

haha so cheesy bro

[illpressureurhinges1]

What exactly are "sick breakdowns bro"?

[dinosaurxbrocore]

you have to understand the homoness of the brocore kids in our area

[illpressureurhinges1]

I see... Well it seems to me like I'm lucky I don't.

[dinosaurxbrocore]

they wish they were from jersey

im sure you dont need anymore

[illpressureurhinges1]

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. :thumb:

[adb]

Gorod - State of Secret before 3:00

Lost Dreams - End of time around 4:00

Adagio - R'Lyeh The Dead around 4:25

Old Man's Child - In Defiance of Existence, toward beginning

example of the stuff ross was mocking

[Pete]

breakdowns in "in the arms of perdition" are grossly awesome

http://myspace.com/asuspendedsentence

example of the stuff ross was mocking

that is horrible, why do they bother posting low quality junk like that? i mean, even that one paraphilia song sounds better ffs

[interviewer02]

LOL, there is NO way that band is good, look at them.

Please though, I would like to get a good laugh today, so I will take a listen to them later so I can feel good about myself.

Gotta go to work now.

Wait, I did listen real quick. It's funny, I can take one look at a band and know how crappy they're going to be. wow, just terrible. Hey, at least they look trendy. Yeah, if you ever see a kid in a Hollister shirt and describe the music he plays as Death Metal, thats a good sign...

[Dimmu Burger]

My band wrote a fun song making fun of breakdown driven bands. It's called Junbringer. It has like 5 breakdowns.

[dinosaurxbrocore]

that is horrible, why do they bother posting low quality junk like that? i mean, even that one paraphilia song sounds better ffs

well paraphilia is better than existence

[RetiredAt21]

Back to what I said earlier, what's everyone's favorite breakdown?

Integrity -Sanctuary is pretty punishing.

[dinosaurxbrocore]

Orchid - Amherst Pandamonium Pt. II
As Cities Burn - Thus From My Lips, By Yours, My Sin Is Purged

[RetiredAt21]

Indecision - Blindfold

Really awesome breakdown.

[dinosaurxbrocore]

i like breakdowns with cool dissonant shi in them

oh i have a couple good ones:
botch, knut, and norma jean!

[RetiredAt21]

I'm not so much into the dissonant stuff.

[dinosaurxbrocore]

i live for it

like the breakdown at the beginning of goodbye tomorrow, hello dead letters by dead man in reno

sooooo badass

[RetiredAt21]

Dinocore has a cool albeit generic breakdown. It is crushing, though. And I love what he says before they start playing the breakdown.

[bringonthebreakdown]

i live for it

like the breakdown at the beginning of goodbye tomorrow, hello dead letters by dead man in reno

sooooo badass

i love those as well. all shall perish's breakdown at the end of wage slaves.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Are you serious about Norma Jean? I thought you didn't like them.

[bringonthebreakdown]

Better than most mentioned in this thread.

[Pete]

he's, like, narrating all the parts to that song

"hay gice lats 2-step !"

[4yearpro?]

the devil wears prada- html rulez dood

[Dimmu Burger]

Dr. Acula has good breakdowns, but they are good because of the funny samples they use, like Anchorman's "Loud noises!!!!" Jun jun jun!!!

[Siberian Dreamer]

Dead to fall have some hilarious breakdowns.

[dinosaurxbrocore]

dinocore Has A Cool Albeit Generic Breakdown. It Is Crushing, Though. And I Love What He Says Before They Start Playing The Breakdown.

dinosaurous, Lame Bro-chorus

[Dimmu Burger]

Dead to fall have some hilarious breakdowns.

"We gotta get the kids moving, circle pitting, and singing along.
I've got a really original idea, of how I think we should end this song!

END THIS SONG............WITH A F*CKING BREAKDOWN!!!"

[dinosaurxbrocore]

or just

CHUM! CHUM! CHUM FIESTA!

[2muchket!]

the devil wears prada- html rulez dood

gtfo man !

my current favourite is :

7 Angesl 7 Plagues - Someday (its sweet when the double bass kicks in at around50 seconds)

and the one at beginning of 12/23/93 just for the lyrics

Gouge out my eyes, pestilence
lack of love binds, propagate, the strife you desire
keep me from forced self depiction, abhorate
self assured I am no more !

[RetiredAt21]
