"Best ABR track is Speech Impediment, that fucking riff"



Beauty in Tragedy >

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

but seriously the one-two punch of Empty Heaven and Three Fountains is maybe the band's best since Fault Line-Beauty in Tragedy

I would say it seemed they were trying to progress but once they got to Constellations it was a refusal to try anything truly fresh after that.
Since then every album has sounded more or less the same to me.

I’m literally laughing at how this dude seems to just have a bone to pick with the band. No where in the world does this belong alongside a similar rating to Attack! Attack!’s first EP or Crown The Empire’s Retrograde. August Burns Red sounds like August Burns Red big whoop. For all the people giving the exact same argument against the band, it’s simply impossible to ignore the fact that ABR are the undisputed metalcore heavyweight champions and represent the status quo of any new modern metalcore band looking to make waves in a never ending sea of monotony. Not a single member in the band slouches in the instrumental department, everyone’s performance is phenomenal, especially Jake’s whose vocals seem to age like a fine wine where as others wimper out and die off and get left long forgotten. I hate the ludicrous amount of bias that comes along with this band, it almost seems to be like heavy weighted chains that they carry along with them wherever they go. I’d like to see how many of you all fall off the band wagon if they ever do decide to switch things up, but if they don’t that’s okay too because then they won’t seem like ABR anymore. Nothing less than a 3.5 realistically speaking. Above average metalcore with odd timed breakdowns and incredible dynamic performances.

I definitely have more respect for these guys than the majority of other metalcore acts today. They know who they are and they don't pretend to be anyone else. But they really aren't that interesting of a band at the end of the day. I don't see them ever releasing a record like Polar Similar, for example.

Major fan of the band here, probably my favorite band. This album has no blatantly awful tracks and also no real amazing ones either. It grows on me the more I listen to it, but as it stands it’s prob their worst and most forgetful to date. Between this and found in far away places. Prob 2.8 ish. Even if you hate the production (and I don’t know what’s to hate that much tbh) 1.5 is like... you don’t like metalcore so why listen to this anyway lol

Album Rating: 3.0

If they hadn’t done this sound better 4x already this would be a 3.5.

How in the everloving fuck are you gonna say FiFAP is one of the worst, let alone even remotely comparable to this record quality wise

Album Rating: 2.5

it's the same old shit guys. We complain about PWD because they now do shit music, but ABR have been stale af



Phantom Anthem songs are cool live, but no fucking chance I'd listen anything off of it (aside from a couple tunes, maybe) when compared to Messenger/Constellations and maybe RaR

Album Rating: 3.5

Stumbled across this review by accident as I stopped caring for this band after Leveler. Had to listen for myself to see if this album is as bad as you make it out to be. Actually quite enjoyed it Thanks, I guess?? :D

“How in the everloving fuck are you gonna say FiFAP is one of the worst, let alone even remotely comparable to this record quality wise“



Because it’s the most forgettable record they’ve ever put out besides this. Everything after RaR has been super samey and forgettable but I felt phantom anthem at least had more stand out tracks on the back half. Particularly carbon copy. All 3 can be lumped in together though to me.

Album Rating: 3.0

Just went and listened and remembered it’s cause that fucking album has all the weird “prog” bull shit they threw in. Ruined songs. Got some sweet riffs though

Album Rating: 2.0

Unlike the rest of their shit, FiFAP flows really well and doesn't feel like a chaotic amalgam of random riffs and breakdowns.

Album Rating: 2.0

Honestly, R&R and FiFAP are ABR's best albums, hands down.



Gotta revisit Thrill Seeker tho

Messengers and Constellations or gtfo

@Pika do it. The fact that it’s hardly even mentioned tells me that most people have either forgotten about it or just never given it the proper time of day because it’s a little different
