Admitting any wrongdoing is for cowards, bettering yourself shows a lack of conviction, fun ignores the virtues of discipline, discipline is also for cowards

Is this is a safe space to talk about how mediocre this album is? How recycled and uninventive it sounds? How fundamentally boring it feels?

This and the new Every Time I Die are probably my two picks this year for ‘no idea how these are getting glaringly positive reception’. I’m especially perplexed that both of these albums are also constantly being hurled the almighty accolade of sounding vastly different than either band’s preceding albums, which….they don’t. At all. 🤷🏼‍♂️

this is very different, in the olden days you'd say this sounds like their 'major label debut'

ETID i can at least respect for being a tightass band and gunning for a mostly impeccably faithful showcase of a style they're veteran in. still very boring, but it works on its own terms if you care for them
this is probably more creative but also more of a bummer so, uh, EH

this at the very least did more than every time i die i think. etid is fun but feels like just straightforward metalcore

Very different from what, though? To me this sounds just like a *slightly* more pop-forward (viz. “”easycore””) riff on TIME & SPACE. (…Which was already just a slightly softer version of NONSTOP FEELING.)

I think you're being disingenuous with the word 'vastly' there tect, as far as I can tell no-one tried claiming that (unless I missed it) re ETID, but it did represent refinement and a bringing together of styles covered previously in exciting new ways (excitement levels may vary). The production was stellar and thus injected life into a somewhat tried and tested formula. I disagree that it was the same old stuff, but no it wasn't a drastic change either.



No opinion on whether these guys have changed or not as this was my first rodeo.

What Pangea said however is completely absurd considering some of the songs aren't even metalcore to begin with, although their heavier and off-kilter mathcore cuts were the best cuts, so maybe they'd have been better off sticking to that formula, in fairness.

i view this as a more tighter yet spaced out incarnation of turnstile: nothing is wildly different but everything is just much better. riffs r jumpier songwriting is more immediate choruses r more fun production is more elegant etc

so yeah if you didn't like their previous stuff you probably wouldn't like this

edit: also this isn't way too fuckin long like the new etid lol

fair demon, i can't say i'm a genre expert. what i mean though is that i never felt suprised by radical, which made it more difficult to engage with it on a higher level

Perhaps part of my problem is that I rummaged through ETID’s entire discography over the course of two days. The only albums that “stood out” above the rest were the debut and GUTTER PHENOMENON, the former not in a particularly ‘good’ way. The rest all kind of bleed together for me. Couldn’t tell one from the other if you paid me.
