just aweful.

Digging: maudlin of the Well - Part the Second

Vocals irk me more than on the other song...also he looks like a Greaser.

Digging: City of Ships - Look What God Did To Us

Waior is going to flip.

Digging: Pavement - Wowee Zowee

yeah i didn't really like this song, young cardinals was way better

Digging: Converge - Axe To Fall

chan, is the guy in your avatar the detective in the show true blood?

My reputation precedes me.

You know, maybe somebody else should dibs reviewing Young Cardinals, because I don't think I could stomach writing my boys a negative review. This song was pretty bad.

Digging: The Red Chord - Fed Through the Teeth Machine

agreed.

Chan's good at writing negative reviews (he relishes the thought of making them, as a matter of fact) so it should be all his in the (unlikely) event that this album munches cock.

Hopefully this is the worst on the album. I still have hope.

Digging: Masachist - Death March Fury

the (unlikely) event that this album munches cock.

And looking like a Greaser.

noooooooooooooo

Digging: The Mars Volta - Octahedron

Sigh... I'm probably gonna end up reviewing this, and if this is the trend that the album will set, I've already got a really bad semi-mocking summary in mind... I REALLY want this to be good...

Sigh...

Digging: Converge - Axe To Fall

Their drummer is excellent.

Digging: Thrice - Beggars

Alexisonfire, what the fuck happened to you?

Digging: Devin Townsend Project - Addicted

"Old Crows" is out there as well. This CD is sounding a lot different from anything they've done, not sure in a good or bad way... Considering I hated Young Cardinals when it came, but I can't stop listening to it now.


and their drummer is a beast. That one fill on Young Cardinals is good stuff.

If you guys want to hear samples of every track on this album, go here: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/Alexisonfire-Old-Crows-Young-Cardina/hnum/9187616

Judging by the samples, the album only gets better. Born And Raised FTW.

George looking like a greaser made me Lul.

Digging: Gaza - He Is Never Coming Back

Ugh, those terrible clean vox really kill it. I kind of liked the chorus and the riff during the verses, but still George is destroying all the good parts.

Digging: Brand New - Daisy

The album is excellent, don't know why you guys are freaking.

Digging: Animal Collective - Spirit They've Gone, Spirit They've Vanished

Here we go again.

Digging: Disparaged - The Wrath of God

What I am no fanboy of them, just saying the album is really good.

I sure hope so

Digging: Converge - Axe To Fall

It's great ("it" being the album). To be honest, I don't even know what song this is by title, so it's not one of the better ones. Old Crows is the best.

Digging: A Forest of Stars - The Corpse of Rebirth

hm not that good a song
i was gonna buy the album but now i might download it first to see if its good

Digging: Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness

I think they just released the two worst songs off the album, because from the samples, all the rest sound great. At least, that's what I'm hoping!!! And can anyone clear this up for me: Is it in "Born and Raised" that Dallas does the sick solo at the end? Cause they posted a video of him doing it, and it sounds it from the sample, but I can't tell.

Digging: Dance Gavin Dance - Happiness

Dallas' solo is in Accept Crime, from what I've heard.

That song was nothing short of utter garbage...Am I alone in this view?

The song sounds like a bad b-side from Crisis, except George is no longer fun to listen to.

Has this leaked somewhere?

complete shit, wats w/ the vocals.

Digging: Cage The Elephant - Cage The Elephant

Like the others I agree that this song kind of sucks but the rest sound pretty great. But what's with the godawful screaming?

Digging: Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me

ya^ George's screams used to be fucking beastly, I'd really like this to be good

Digging: My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

Gonna be amazing.

Both songs are terrible. Vocals hurt to listen to.

Digging: Between The Buried And Me - The Great Misdirect

George's voice is 100% shot on the album btw. But it's still probably a 4.

George's voice is 100% shot on the album btw. But it's still probably a 4.

Vocals in this song are still awful. Somehow his vocals in Young Cardinals just don't bother me that much (actually they are kind of growing on me, but just in that song) and I don't know why.

wtf? what happened to them?

honestly i havent given these guys a listen since Watch Out! and I dont think im gonna start now

Digging: After The Sirens - What I Have To Give, Let It Be Enough

Ergh, its horrid

Digging: Peter Combe - Peter Combe's Christmas Album

i havent given these guys a listen since Watch Out!

This is pretty upsetting, George's new vocal style is terrible and is leading the band on a path to ruin. Crisis was considerably inferior to Watch Out! And this also sounds like it is going to be inferior to its predecessor.

Digging: August Burns Red - Constellations

I've come to really like the vocal work on young cardinals, so i agree with mark. i can see this one song being the worst one on the album...it just sounds so uninspired
i have faith that this album will be as good as the rest though. listening to watch out today got me psyched

Digging: The Sound of Animals Fighting - The Ocean and the Sun

The vocals on Young Cardinals are at least bearable. These aren't.

This song is way better then young cardinals, that chorus was overdone by dallas so much i was tired of it by the end of the second listen. Screams still suck though

Digging: Thrice - The Alchemy Index: Vols. I and II...

it's like these guys woke up one day and said "you know how most bands try to progress with time? well what if AOF is one of those bands that REGRESS with time? super cool huh!"


shit just gets worse

god, at least the chorus in young cardinals is good. This one is just shite all over

Digging: Oh Sleeper - Son of the Morning

Another great album coming soon.
