Idk there are so many good roasts spread throughout their whole discog. If moar opeth was still a thing I'd compile them all

while true, the mix of every post being a heater with the jesus imagery is the perfect melting point with what underoath used to be lmao

this isn't even in the top 20 strangest musical pivots from a band I've ever seen so it's funny seeing some of these reactions. I've seen black metal bands randomly turn into dance pop about Satan, Wishbone Ash was AOR/hard rock for years but randomly put out two TRANCE albums in the late 90s only to act like it never happened and keep writing AOR style rock. Meanwhile I can definitely hear like an industrialized shortened LITSOS feeling here in places

I just remembered who I meant with that first one. "Satanic Pop Metal" by Semargl. There are some STRANGE albums out there. This feels relatively tame compared to some of what I've seen as far as weirdness

Well this band went from black metal to scene in two albums flat

people aren't perplexed at the style, they are perplexed at how fucking awful it is

Album Rating: 1.5

Yeah I don't care what they pivot to if they do it well. Hasn't happened yet

yea it's undoubtedly messy and completely understandable why older fans wouldn't take to it. i just feel like this isn't nearly as stark a shift as some are making it out to be, and even if it was...genre abolitionism all I care about is if they do that new style well. seems rather unfair to comp this to define the great line instead of comparing it to other nu-core albums that this site eats up, this is just about as good as that boundaries album from last year for my money

yeah theyve always jumped around a lot. honestly this album approaches its fusion the way the band has always done with their influences, its just different influences. whether said influences are for the listener is a different story but this is def the most "underoath" album in its ethos for better or worse since they got back together

Album Rating: 3.5

fair assessment bubs

i think comparing albums to previous albums made by the same band with much of the same members is completely fair game lol

Album Rating: 3.5

on one hand yeah, it's easy to compare it to that 2006-2010 run. But on the other for me I like to see this as somewhat of a fresh slate, a new beginning, as if the old band and the new band are separate. This feels right at home with the other fast food core stuff that's been coming out lately and I think I have more desire to keep this in my rotation than that poppy album from last year as sacrilegious as that sounds

totally get it and think that is fair, i just truly hate that stuff so yeah lol

Album Rating: 3.5

fair enough! this album is kinda reminding me of Korn's little dubstep foray, I just hope this band keeps experimenting instead of doing what Korn did after and started phoning it in by the numbers (Requiem was so fucking boring)
