Kinda figured that they were just going to do an entire album at some point. Should be pretty cool.

Should be decent.

Digging: Trinidad Jame$ - Don't Be S.A.F.E.

I didn't really want this to happen despite how much I enjoy this band. I can't help but feel the effect of the album will wear off halfway through it. Especially with them putting already released material on it. Not to mention Oct 9 is nowhere near Christmas or the "holidays"

AOTY.

Honestly I think it will rule but if it postpones the release of an actual new album I'm gonna be bummed.

Is the link redirecting to something completely different or is it just me?

it isn't just you.

Digging: Supercell - Today is a Beautiful Day

Quit bitching and finding reasons not to listen to this you motherfucker.

sounds cool

My comment link works. Don't know why the one in the article is acting funny.

I really just want a pre-order package with christmas themed footie pajamas. Is that too much to ask?

Love the band, but I've always felt these Christmas themed albums were lame.

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

"Quit bitching"
Haha I'm just nervous from all the anticipation I guess. If their compositions are anything like Little Drummer Boy or O Come O Come Emmanuel it will certainly rule

The link in the article messes up because the last word "hill" has a space in it.

I will listen. ABR is usually good.

"The link in the article messes up because the last word "hill" has a space in it."

Good call, but when I go to the edit screen it doesn't show a space there which is strange.

Band is good and all but that's a pretty dumb idea. Will probably end up listening though.

Digging: This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain

I don't think anybody wants this as much as a new album, but it will do. Honestly not expecting new material for a while considering the vibes they have been giving off. I've read in interviews that they have been struggling to progress their sound, and I don't think ABR want to make the same record twice.

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

Dashing through the snow
On a one-chord open chug,
Over the fields we go,
Thrashing all the way
chug! chug! chug!
Sweeps and harmonics ring,
Making breakdowns tight,
Oh what fun it is to laugh and sing
A metalcore song tonight

Digging: King Crimson - Lizard

^ Rules.

pos

Somebody quick copy and paste that for their review summary

junz 4 jesus

Digging: The World is a Beautiful Place And... - Whenever, If Ever

Wacknizzle wins. Go home everybody.

I have honestly never seen the appeal of ABR, but their holiday songs were always a neat idea. Hope the kids dig it.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

yes that rules wack

Digging: The Boxer Rebellion - Promises

All I want for christmas is

6| 00 00 0000 00 0000 0000000 0 0 00 0 0 0000 0000 000 0 00

This is going to be utterly awesome. It'll be a day one purchase for me...but the thing is, I won't even listen to it until Thanksgiving/afterwards.

I did see a comment earlier that mentioned the questionability on the October 9th release date. Many artists release their holiday albums early on. Harry Connick Jr. released his "What a Night!" Christmas album early on, and Michael Buble did as well.

Finally.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

sounds AWESOME

Digging: TesseracT - Altered State

not ur grandma's holiday album. that's for sure

Cool.

I always enjoy the ABR Christmas songs, so I wouldn't mind paying for a full album.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

sweet, i hope there's some vocals this time. the link is messed up though.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

whyyyyyyy

Digging: Owel - Owel

It probably will be all instrumental. I hope not too though. Sounds like it will be a fun listen nonetheless

i wonder if jake feels left out when they do these things lol.

^ You will listen when we have sex butt fucker

Wait I mean no I'm giving it...

When I saw them play carol of the bells live Jake walked off stage lol. I'm sure he doesn't mind it then but for an entire album release he might

will slay some bells..

Digging: Strawberry Girls - French Ghetto

I don't think ABR want to make the same record twice.

so keen

Digging: Moon Safari - Blomljud

vomiting out the lameness that entered my soul after reading this. please.

this is gonna suck

Digging: Alice in Chains - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here

I like all the holiday songs I've heard by them so far. Pretty pumped for this.

lol what faggot came up with this massively gay idea

duh

yeah this is a great idea. the christmas songs have been some of their best.

should be neat. something to throw on while baking some cookies for santa.

ABR Christmas songs are shit.

Digging: Immolation - Kingdom of Conspiracy

Carol of Bells slayed.

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

This could be really good or really bad.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

Should be good. Look how well it went for Twisted Sister. ON MY HEAVY METAL CHRISTMAS. Goddamn...

Digging: Immolation - Kingdom of Conspiracy

My comment link works. Don't know why the one in the article is acting funny.

" So change it?"

I already tried. Still didn't work right. The link is entered in correctly on the edit page but for whatever reason isn't showing up correctly here.

I'll probably give it a listen. All their other Christmas tunes are pretty good.

Wait, what?

Seen them a couple times back in 2004 since they're from where I live. Will be seeing them again in a couple months with Of Mice & Men and other bands.

YES. I love this band.

Digging: Oh, Sleeper - Children of Fire

Fuck yes

Digging: TesseracT - Altered State

Christmascore.

it is great when a christian band gets on their christ. please.

this should be interesting.

This should be... I... I just want another album like Constellations. please, i beg of you, another album like Constellations, or Messengers, idk. As an ABR fan, i feel kinda lost right now

Digging: TesseracT - Altered State

I really hope this will be good. Else, there will be casualties.

^ how incredibly unfunny

I'm actually kind of surprised that so many people are excited for this...

I just hate Christmas albums.

chek out sputnik- christmas at our house

great album

Jingle Bells, Frosty The Snowman, and Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer better be fucking ridiculous. I wanna hear that shit with junz, blastbeats, and tremolo picking.

@ keyserfuck, how predictable of you. Wasnt supposed to be funny dude.

I really expected something different for their next release. Hopefully, by next year they will deliver. Still fucking eager to listen to this
