their best album but that's not saying a lot

Digging: The Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack

One of my favorite tracks on the album. Going to have to check it out.

Digging: Kanye West - Yeezus

This album is better than their other albums but their other albums weren't very good so saying that this album is better than their other albums says little about it.

Digging: Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle

Dammit this article is almost word for word what I wrote, we must've got it in at the same time cos I didn't see anything when I checked before writing mine.

Digging: Chthonic - Bu-Tik

this band needs to go away

unfortunately it will continue to be hyped here for a few months until everyone forgets about it.

The butthurt on the Metal Hammer Facebook page over Oli wearing a Death shirt is hilarious.

lol i knew metal nerds would be butthurt about that. i've seen him wear a death shirt before.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

Song's really good. Cool video too.

Why didn't you use the official upload?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lir3dzYIhz0

Can't view that one here anyway

An english bands video is blocked in england?

probably the best song i've heard from them but that's not saying much. but good for them for improving.

Just seen that metal hammer post. Those comments pretty much sum up why I can't stand a large proportion of metalheads.

Holy shit. Sputnik actually redirects links to a new tab now. You dumbies actually did something right.

Glad they made a video for this song, definitely one of my favorites on the album.

Digging: Harlots - Betrayer

One of the best on the album and one of Jordan Fish's best moments on it

Digging: August Burns Red - Rescue & Restore

fish, are you saying the link I have up now isn't working for you?

Digging: Across Five Aprils - Tragedy in Progress

yeap

This video contains content from SME, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.

I'll change it to the link you posted then.

An english bands video is blocked in england?

Irony.

also blocked in belgium

maybe its blocked in europe?

Digging: The Rapture - Echoes

both links? even the one I changed it to?

second one is good

The link I gave you works for me

sweet. I really like the artsy and serious approach they've got going
with the music videos for this album so far. really suits their change.

i'm still surprised its the same band that released pray for plagues

while not every song on this album is that great, the good songs are really good.

Anybody else think they're just blatantly copying Architects now?

on suicide seasons, sure. now, absolutely not.

No, it's just you.

Architects have gone the other way. They are proper gash now.

Im so confused as to why people are comparing this to linkin park

How can you not hear it in some songs? lol

Linkin Park is a weak comparison if you ask me

Although I'm confused as to which era Linkin Park the album is being compared to

don't know where that comparison is coming from at all lol.

If anything, Underoath comparisons has a leg to stand on, but everyone keeps forcing LP comparisons.

Underoath I can hear a little bit in the vocal style and some electronics but thats a bit of a stretch.

not really. this song sounds like a b-side from disambiguation.

LP > this band

right now they're both tied 2 for 2 in good albums.

I think specific songs bear resemblance to some Underoath material but the album as a whole sends a different vibe.

LP comparisons seem to be used as a means to justify negative opinions of the album. I think it's a weak argument.

I haven't seen a convincing, reasonable, or detailed one yet.

I can hear it, but I don't see how it diminishes the quality of the album

illud divinum insanus > anything this band will ever release

argue that one andcas

morbid angel is a fucking joke now and so is that album.

Nearly 51,000 comments Andcas WOWSERS!!

radikult > any song this band will ever queef out

agreed

Digging: Bomb the Music Industry! - Goodbye Cool World!

I should get on that alt grind.

Video and song is average. Album is excellent

"LP comparisons seem to be used as a means to justify negative opinions of the album. I think it's a weak argument."

GTHFHS reminds me of Bleed it out if that counts

Plus Ollies voice sounds like Chesters on some tracks...

So fucking great.

Olllies voice does resemble Chester in moments. Like the beginning of the chorus sounds like the signature sing/scream of Hybrid and Meteiora days.

The way he sings "sleepwalking" in the chorus reminds me a bit of Hybrid Theory-era Chester, but other than that I don't see a lot of similarities with LP (except maybe for some of the electronic influences). But I haven't heard the full thing yet, so that might change.

Digging: Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

It's in Empire that he sounds the most like chester.

Regardless those are the only moments where there is any similarities between the 2 bands.

B-b-b-but.... I live in America...

This song is probably the best on the album. It's been stuck in my head all day.

Great song from a surprisingly good album. So many people have had their opinions of BMTH changed cos of this album, and I'm one of them.

I had hoped they would do a video for either this song or Empire.

Digging: Letlive. - The Blackest Beautiful

Empire is pretty dec. has some of oli's best vocals on the album

Architects have gone the other way. They are proper gash now.

the fuck does this even mean?

Anyway, song rules, video was good, also don't hear the LP comparisons

Digging: Corelia - Nostalgia

love that he's wearing a scream bloody gore t shirt. bet all the trve metalheads are losing their shit

Digging: The Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack

Link from Epitaph works

Not surprised this song was picked as a single. It's simple, mainstream-ish, and has a memorable and easy to sing chorus...

That being said, the song and video are both fantastic.

Digging: Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas

Ehh l guess it's ok.

god dammit why does this band still exist

because

LP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BMTH.

Not a bad effort. Just an overrated album.

Linkin Park is terrible, always has been, stop talking about them

Hybrid Theory was classic

you are all the worst people ever made

Hybrid Theory was classic ....wut lol

The vocals on this song and Empire are reminiscent of Hybrid Theory-era LP, just listen to him say sleepwalking and tell me he doesn't sound like Chester Bennington did.

The reason people are drawing LP comparisons are because of some of Oli's vocals on some parts I think, not necessarily the music. I know in this song in particular I noticed that his vocals sounded a lot like some of the choruses off of LP's older stuff.

This song is really boring imo, doesn't really go anywhere

Digging: Mouth of the Architect - Dawning

Video was ok and the song is decent

Pretty sure it's appropriate to talk about LP here, I mean come on it's BMTH

Very good song, equally great video.

Digging: Hour of Penance - Sedition

the fuck does this even mean?

i like the song/video. this album is the first i've heard of the band. pretty catchy stuff. i don't know how much replay value it will have over time, but i'm digging it for now

Zero replay value

Band is bad
Album is better than previous efforts

Can we stop discussing this album like it's a big deal

whats the point of alts

Digging: Park - It Won't Snow Where You're Going
