"The Beatles' experiments basically all have to do with song structure and less overall sonic palettes because they never got heavier or lighter"

i am rereading this just to see if i misjudged it and it keeps getting dumber. throw me another bone and define each of these words:

song structure
sonic palette
heavier
lighter

and then point me towards a single beatles song that isn't A Day In The Life that had a focus on structual over stylistic experimentation

Frontierer is cool for a few songs but they get boring fast. Yes, I agree with the point about dynamics and it's the reason that Frontierer fell off my radar after Unloved. Oxidized is damn near u listenable to me and for all the literal harsh noise on display it doesn't hit nearly as hard as so many other bands to me. Periphery is my favorite band in no small part because of how much variety their sound has, so the creative bankruptcy thing holds no water to me at all. I totally get why someone wouldn't like this band but these comments are as stupid as this review.



I honestly don't even think Everything is Fine is even that similar to Frontierer. I figured Misha heard Car Bomb and wanted to play with a whammy pedal for a song.

misha took a ton of influence from bladee, basically a carbon copy at this point.

Beatles honestly just sound like every other artist I've heard from that time period. And by that I mean extremely dated. Most vocalists from that era sound too "normal" to me tbh, and the tech wasn't there to really do a lot more that's immediately noticeable in terms of getting heavier or anything like that.

And since you called into question the lack of non-rock 5's... for one i am extremely spotty with Sput ratings these days I usually update once every other month. for two, my 5's signify an emotional resonance and significance to me and often, unless it's a fully-instrumental album, vocal performance/lyrical content play into that. And I don't typically hear the style of singing I like OUTSIDE the rock sphere. Plain' ol simple pop doesn't really cut it for me, it's not terrible but I like stuff with more energy and emotional resonance more.

"I honestly don't even think Everything is Fine is even that similar to Frontierer. I figured Misha heard Car Bomb and wanted to play with a whammy pedal for a song."

i mean, if you want to turn this into a simple matter of one shit band ripping off another, be my guest

"Beatles honestly just sound like every other artist I've heard from that time period. And by that I mean extremely dated."

real talk i'm not trying to dog on anyone's taste or anything it's just for me personally frontierer and bands in that nature (a lot of osdm and other extreme metal has the same issue) just feels samey, one-note and annoying to me. i like my share of heavier music but i feel like a lot of the REALLY "heavy" bands just lack the emotional resonance and dynamic range to stick with me, because they traded that for more brutality. my fav Periphery song is Absolomb and I certainly wouldn't really complain if they made an album of 12 Absolombs, although I'd miss some of the crazy wacky stuff they'd pull in if they completely avoided making anything else.

some can enjoy music with just rhythm, others need a healthy dose of both melody and rhythm

yea and for me it's the latter, just having the former gets really tedious and starts sounding all the same. it's why i really honestly can't get into Meshuggah I mean they're fine but the fully-rhythmic and mechanical approach wears on me and starts sounding so samey.

anyone who actively depends on melodies is weak and embarrassing

"just lack the emotional resonance and dynamic range to stick with me"

plz don't turn your extremely blinkered criteria for spoonfed angsty bullshit into a checklist of artistic decisions made on your behalf
