best day ever

you all are not prepared for what awaits

Digging: Across Five Aprils - Tragedy in Progress

I think a lot of their fans are going to be surprised and scared... not as bad as when Finch released their second album, but the same basic concept.

Digging: Heliotropes - A Constant Sea

It's so sexy damn

"I think a lot of their fans are going to be surprised and scared"

only fair weather fans that dropped them after still searching

i can barely even contain my excitement

this is a rebirth

I kind of dropped them after 'Still Searching' and I'm back for this one. I probably would have never bothered if it hadn't been sent to me, though.

are you reviewing it willie? and man the fire is just about as good as still searching

Really good, but being overrated by pretty much everyone on the site.

Digging: Mac Miller - Watching Movies With The Sound Off

This direction has been coming since American Death

Does this mean we can post reviews for it starting now?

willie you really REALLY need to listen to The Fire. no joke.

Not overrated at all.

"but being overrated by pretty much everyone on the site."

and deftones aren't? ;)

--are you reviewing it willie? and man the fire is just about as good as still searching--

I am supposed to, but honestly, I am having to become reacquainted with their last two albums because I never really bothered.

--Really good, but being overrated by pretty much everyone on the site.--

What does overrated mean? Different than your opinion? Shut it.

"Does this mean we can post reviews for it starting now?"

sure but my review is all that matters muwahwhaha

given the impressive progression of this band and what they've come to stand for there is absolutely nothing overrated about renacer

What does overrated mean? Different than your opinion? Shut it.

--Are you getting a little hostile Willie?--

Why are you concerned about my junk?

have you heard the album hawks? I mean dear god it's flooring

andcas are you reviewing it? we should see how many reviews we can get for this album

3.5

I've already done my fan duty to them with the fire live dvd review
that covered a majority of their career so I'm not sure. I guess it
depends on how many reviews are written and if I feel anyone has
truly given this and the many chronicles to get up to point justice.

have you heard the album hawks? I mean dear god it's flooring

The Fire was a good comeback, but this is much better

Digging: Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

They never needed to make a comeback

alright everybody go dig this fucking album so it can rise up the popular albums ladder ok GO

Yet to listen. Might give it a spin tonight.

I love watching buddy destroy idiots on the bands facebook who are
straight up dicks that live in the past when they post news on stuff

this is sick. I wish I had my big speakers to fully enjoy the aggression. Holy Mountain is awesome.

Digging: Insomnium - One for Sorrow

i think this is great but andcas is hyping it up just a tad lol. just too soon to say if i like it more than the fire but it's at least a 4 for me

Pretty fucking cool so far.

Digging: Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

dig it everybody needs to dig it

Probably will, but just let me finish my first listen. :3

Alright, digging the fuck out of this.

haha very nice i'm on my second listen now

I'll check.

Digging: The Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack

holy crap
their best since still searching

A career revival for the band. This preserves the band's shelf life quite a bit. "Closure/Rebirth" is the best song on the album at this point. It'll be interesting to see them continue in this direction.

Can someone explain to me why I should be listening to this when i'm not a emotional hormonal teenager?
Seriously don't understand the hype for this band.

"Can someone explain to me why I should be listening to this when i'm not a emotional hormonal teenager?

Well, you ARE the one who rated From First to Last's Dear Diary, My Teenage Angst Has a Body Count a 4.5/5...

Give it a shot!

I did rate that like 3 years ago, but touché.

lol there's nothing about this album or the fire that would appeal to a hormonal teenager. I suggest actually listening to the lyrics.

My bad, let me rephrase that. What is the reason this band gets more hype and respect than countless other post hardcore/emo bands? I hear nothing defining or unique in their music.

Holy shit haha so much heavier. This is a joy.

This is definitely not what I expected, and finally that's a good thing.

Digging: Kanye West - Yeezus

"What is the reason this band gets more hype and respect than
countless other post hardcore/emo bands?"

first off, the band has never been hyped on this site and I'm
surprised this is starting to get any attention at all because they
have always been ridiculously underrated.

I can try to explain to you how they standout but if you're not a
longtime and dedicated fan then it's almost impossible for you to
actually get how much they mean to many.

they get so much respect from those that follow them because
they're an extremely honest and open band who have helped
a lot of struggling kids through their music.

senses fail is probably one of the most personal and passionate
bands of this styling that I know who have meant a great deal to
people growing up and still do by constantly evolving.

I relate heavily to what the frontman speaks about that has
happened in his personal life and the way he expresses it
has honestly gotten me through some very tough times.

another huge reason they're loved is because they've always
remained true to themselves and the fans that they treat as
family with a very hands on interaction and appreciation.

Between 4 and 4.5

damn andcas lol

I got this man

Cool story

maybe one day a band will mean as much to you

thanks andcas. couldnt have said it better

anytime

they mean a lot to me too. buddy's probably my favorite lyricist and definitely one of my favorite vocalists.

Wow. Chorus on Holy Mountain is just perfect.

Yeah this rules hard

Well, I have heard it, I like it, and now I want to buy it. Stupid Tuesday and it's not being until next week.

Digging: Boysetsfire - While A Nation Sleeps...

After reading all these guys talk about how heavy and good it was I decided to check it out and it truly is enjoyable. Definitely not what I was expecting. Hell, I didn't even know the vocalist could scream.

Digging: Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas

waiting for the 320

Fucking incredible

So good

Hell, I didn't even know the vocalist could scream.

Have you not listened to the band before? Lol

pretty fucking ill

Digging: August Burns Red - Rescue and Restore

this just keeps getting better and better with every listen

spoiler: its gay

"this just keeps getting better and better with every listen"

so true get tha fuck outta here ty ;)

"Hell, I didn't even know the vocalist could scream."

wtf lol go listen to bayonet NOW. (Buddy's Hardcore project)

as much as I love buddy's lyrics on his other albums it's really a breath of fresh air that he's finally made himself whole and is so optimistic now.

not all these lyrics are that optimistic lol but i know what you mean i think these are his best lyrics to date

he's gotten over his alcoholism and his father abandoning him

does he mention that in mi amor or something? I still don't know all the lyrics for that song

you can look up the translation for it but I believe so. it's cool how he's found a healthy vice in mixed martial arts. I took it up myself and I'm nearing my two year mark.

haha nice i need to do something like that i'm out of shape lol. and yeah i've heard the album like 5 times but i'm still digesting all the lyrics. are you gonna review it?

it's really fun and satisfying to know you can defend yourself with ease against anyone that thinks they're invincible. I really don't even know where to begin with this album to review it. I'm just overwhelmed in the best way by it right now lol.

lol yeah i'm not ready to start my review yet i don't want it to be just another review

If this continues to get better with every listen I'm gonna 5 it, I don't even care. Its flawless, every track is incredible.

Digging: August Burns Red - Rescue & Restore

read my the fire review dude. I think I've said all I can atm.

Pretty good.

Digging: August Burns Red - Rescue and Restore

album is their best since Still Searching.

excellent listen

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

Love the first half, not crazy bout the second half though. I think it will grow on me though, overall impressive.

Not bad.

oh my fucking god

lol yeah pretty much

I don't think this band is capable of putting out a bad album tbh. Which is amazing considering the guitarist line up changes.

No material of theirs is really below a 4/5 for me.

guys.. this is suprisingly heavy.

ATTN: The band just posted the high quality version of the album )"51 minutes ago. You're welcome.

already got that high quality good good
