Australians are shifty?

Album Rating: 2.5

no it means the record has palm muted guitars and/or sounds too much like metal

Glad to see some people actually liking this record. Unfortunately the haters are still here, trying to pull the ratings down just because they think it's not "true" metal. I'm sorry if you dont like the album, but saying it doesn't even fit into the genre that it actually does fit into just because you don't like it?

AILD Has always been a Solid Band For me. Looking foward to hearing this. why do people always feel the need to bring up "botch" and "converge" on most metalcore discussions? those bands both are insufferable to be honest, i don't care how good of muscians they are. I prefer songs with a coherant structure and melody. even though all the coolest kids think they're generic.

Easily their best.

Parallels actually pisses me off.

I love how every metalcore thread eventually evolves into an argument over which kind of metalcore is better. Can't we just agree that they're different, and should probably be considered different genres? I mean, Converge sounds soooooo much different than bands like KsE and Unearth that it's really pretty senseless to classify them under the same label.

I don't know why a lot of people have been complaining abot the cleans on this record. They arent that bad at all, save for the few places where they do get kind of annoying

It's pretty simple, one set represents the original sound and one represents what it has evolved into after 10/15 years of people playing it and then somewhere in the middle is The Bled.

It needs saying again, Tim's vocals are amazing on this.

album has dropped off a bit since i last checked this thread, kinda disappointing. I mean some of tracks do classify as filler, but

most of them are good/great

was that the fault of the rip? or was it just poorly produced?

I enjoyed 'An Ocean Between Us' and this sounds like I'm gonna adore it.

Maybe, but Overcast was basically KsE in a different form and they started playing shows in like 1995 so I'm not sure if one came first or if one just became mainstream. It's probably safe to say they wrote Temple From the Within before they had ever even heard a Botch song.



American Nervoso came out in 1998 and KsE recorded their self-titled in 1999, while Unearth recorded The Stings of Conscience in 2000 (released in 2001 though). So... I'm not so sure that those bands in particular were copying off the Converge/Botch sound, as much as it was just a different, more Gothenburg (and metal in general) influenced scene.

but botch and converge have more in common with the first generation bands like Rorschach, Integrity, and Deadguy. you could always call one mathcore and the other melodic metalcore if you really want to be anal and uptight about it, i guess.
