"Enter Shikari hasn't been metalcore since Take to the Skies (with some exception on each album). I'm plenty with the times Flug."



nah they had major metalcore elements until the mindsweep lol

Album Rating: 3.0

Fair enough but I never felt like they were purely a metalcore band like most of the other bands they'd come up with. They had a huge shift in sound starting with Common Dreads. Regardless, I think they're at their best when they aren't straight up pop since I don't think Rou is a good enough singer for the style they're going for on this album and The Spark. When his hooks are weak his voice can't compensate for it.

i think rou is a great expressive vocalist, hes definitely one of their greatest assets

Album Rating: 3.0

big disagree on that lol as bummed and frustrated as i am over this record rou still sounds great. his voice rules

Album Rating: 3.5

I never really considered them metalcore at all tbh lol

Album Rating: 4.5

I think Rou went off the rails here in the covid hermit kind of way but this is still at least a 3.2. Album reminds me of my schizophrenic ambient songwriting

'I never really considered them metalcore at all tbh lol'



their very early demos and eps + ttts + some of common dreads and flash flood had plenty of metalcore elements



they had breakdowns and shieeet

Yea I guess, I just never thought of them as metalcore, just trancey post hardcore that got heavy at times lol

Not sure if Bloodshot was intentionally made to sound like the Big Brother theme (given the lyrical content, it kinda makes sense) but my God, it doesn't half sound like it.

Songs a tune though, probably my favourite off this.

Rou is a great vocalist but not a particularly good singer. I don't find his voice to work as well on the pop songs.

The Accentist sounds like an old ES demo.

It is pretty wild that these guys have stayed together for so long with no lineup changes
