It's very apparent that sharing a member with Amenra is doing very interesting things for this band. Gone are the d-beats
and most of the hardcore influence, now replaced by a straight up melodic black metal feel and heavy shoegaze and post-
rock influences. Singer Caro's vocals croon, shudder, screech, and explode throughout the entire record and really capture
something special when paired with the emotive instrumentals the band has performed here. This may be my AOTY. |

| Straight up, this is the best this band has ever sounded. Take the mid-career converge and thick his hero is gone influence and finish it off with some healthy atmospheric doom and sludge influence and even a little noise rock and you?ll have this. Nick?s drumming still showcases he?s the best in heavy music right now but the riffs are stronger and more frantic, the lyrical themes are heavier and more thought out, and the vocals sound 10x stronger and more varied than they ever have. This shit fucking rips guys. |

Oh man this was a nostalgia voyage. New production is cleaner and you can really hear what the individual
instruments are doing, which is sick, but it definitely lacks the raw bite that made it hit so hard in the first place.
Most of the vocal changes are basically what you’ve heard dude do live on these songs for the last 12 or so
years, for better or for worse.
Love all the little ambient additions in the mix. Drums are 10/10, Riley completely kills it, especially considering
he played basically the same punk beat on every song on the first 3 LPs. Lot of cool shit going on with the bass
as well, which you couldn’t really pick out in the OG mix, aside from maybe the bass line in stare at the sun.
Dustin ranges from absolutely immense to utterly cringe inducing within the album. The most egregious being the
slightly slower “Thrice plays worship music” rendition of the already a little too poppy for my taste title track. I
barely made it through the beginning of that one, but figured i would see the whole record through.
The guest spots are a really cool idea and the selections are very respectable and exciting, but they are limited to
a handful of vocal lines a song; sometimes even only in the background along with Dustin and that seems like a
completely wasted opportunity. Overall, though, this is a very fun trip down memory lane for a very formative
album from my early teens. At the very least check out the new cut of Paper Tigers, it is absolutely insane. |

| Black Star No Fear of Time |
| A sleepy sequel to the best hip hop duo album of all time. Very strange decision to try and release it through podcast shit instead of streaming services but more power to them for trying to make money from their craft I guess. Some truly great flows and lyrics on this, and with Madlib behind the controls, you have some awesome loops and samples. Just wish this had any semblance of the energy that made the first LP as fucking monumental as it was. |

| Love the converge vibes, love the return to punk riffs, some of the songs are complete assbeaters, but also contains a smattering of riffs and elements that are huge swing-and-a-miss situations. Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to end a grind album with a lonely saxophone melody |

| This dude has the right idea and the talent to back it up but he can never quite seem to throw a project together that feels cohesive. This has a cool theme and some really great lyrical moments and a couple of blockbuster features but it never really reaches more than the sum of its parts. Dude has the potential to really make something special someday though |

| Torn (USA) Demo 2014 |
| Featuring members of Venia and Jawbone and Joe Musten of Advent and Beloved (and drums for The Almost) on vocals, this heavy riffing metallic hardcore band has a lot to offer on these 4 songs. Falling musically somewhere between Advent and Incendiary, when they finally hit the road this is sure to satisfy the pit cravings of moshy metallic hardcore aficionados everywhere.r |

"@bringthejunzr1. maybe because its some fucking inspirational genre-bending music?r2. i dont think a full blown retard can comprehend the internet, let alone post a solid opinion about such good music. r3. only a soulless douche bag hidden away in mamas basement whos already committed to failure would even think to damper somebody elses praise with such insignificant negative bullshit that you probably think everyone on this site actually values. r4. you probably spam your negativity throughout more forums than just this, because you strive on that undeserving attention you never got as childr"

| Code Orange Forever |
| An album written by a band who wears all their influences firmly on their sleeve. The unfortunate part is they can't seem to come to any conclusion on how to meld their influences into anything particularly cohesive. There is disembodied worship, there is godflesh worship, there's merzbow worship, there's what sounds like sepultura meets fear factory worship, and none of it really seems anymore put together than a kid who played final fantasy 8, loved and worshipped it, and then shoddily duct taped a kitchen knife to a nerf gun and told everyone he made his very own gunblade.. |
| Code Orange Underneath |
| An expert level crash course in how to ruin a promising metalcore album full of cool riffs with annoying samples, too many WWE rockstar energy butt metal anthems, and a dork with a modular synth who feels the need to constantly derail everything. |
