i've suspected for many years that brendan is difficult to work with

Album Rating: 2.5

He seems like a colossal pain let's be real

Album Rating: 3.0

I mean he could be, but I think it's pretty hard to say one way or the other from the outside. Dude uses the internet to be a shitposting troll and uses his band to get his mental health demons out, and that's like 90% of what we see. Not sure that's enough info to jump to any sort of conclusions about what he's actually like to be around lol. If you watch any interviews with him (I recommend The Downbeat episodes with him) he just comes off as a goofball.

I can’t get into this for the most part. Some cool moments, but yeah

Are we sure that Jesse or Alex definitely played on this album?



Oh wait Alex left again? Damn this band must not be fun to be in yeah

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

ye Alex left end of 2022. This gets better with every listen for me. Sure i miss the leads and a bit of melody but god damn, this just hits real hard.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

why do people leave the band all the time? Not a lot of money to be had playing this unless you go buttrock. Which thankfully they haven't..... yet.





Jesse came back so Brendan cant be too much of a cunt. love Brendan though, the werid fucker

They sound angry. Killer ep

Instrumentation is totally on point. Vocals seem by the numbers as they have for while now



His cadance is predictable

Album Rating: 4.0

Id actually be kinda stoked to see the band veer in this direction entirely if only with the knowledge that this is in part the byproduct of a happier Brendan

Also tbf the band has been fulfilling out their progression of Mis Sigs/Shai Hulud adjacent core for a long while even if the ties by AEFTSH basically were severed so if they did straight up HEAVIES or even prog power metal concept album from now on that'd be dope

Actually scratch that I want a full album of Counterparts covering Symphony X songs

Sounds like an END EP a lot of moments. And I'm not complaining.

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah I don't really think Brendan is hard to work with, dude has got two really fucking talented bands with some of the most talented people in the scene. Nothing really points to all the line-up changes having anything to do with him alá Tim Lambesis but rather because the band wasn't exactly making bank pre-Eulogy so not surprising a lot of old members threw in the towel. Brendan has said that the band is doing better now than ever, so hopefully they can get keep the momentum going with the next LP, but please for the love of god don't ditch the trademark leads and sadboi stuff forever.

Idk, this just sounds like END. I love both bands but I'd prefer they stay a bit more distinctly different.

I imagine the t/t being the Soil II to Martyr, in regards to why its so short.

Stopped reading when you gave your ridiculous little political jab no one asked for. Completely unnecessary.
