I swear my opinion of this discog is changing constantly, every time I revisit there's a shift - this is sounding almost perfect at the minute. Great combo of accessible hooks and mathcore madness, melded together expertly.

So turns out the one reason I had for not 5ing this (Chinese Whispers) is actually pretty solid, should probably bump this up and maybe drop Through Silver in Blood to preserve balance...

:O :O :O
Ok, I totally get you now - but Gold Teeth is an absolute monster imo (and the lame parts of Widower are overshadowed by the awesome)

Only weak link here is how Greg spells his 'S' on some tracks...don't know if its the production, or my phones, or my hears loosing some faculties x/

Other than that its flawless.

the fact that it's HEY THERE YOU FUCKING BUUUUUM instead of ...FUCKING PUUUUNK to lead off the final part of Good Neighbor still fucks with me



I still sing along using 'punk'. Just sounds better.

you got the English term right



I dunno if I'm not annoyed by it or I've just not noticed it. Greg is perfect in my eyes.

@Aaron: Sorry b0ss I think it's a mid-tempo slog and Greg's slightly obnoxious delivery doesn't work as well because of it too. And yeah, first half of Chinese Whispers suffers from the same mid tempo problem but to a lesser extent but oh boi the second half is fire.



and yes, FUCKING PUNKKKKKKKK is much better.

Agreed tbh, I'd only call out One of Us or Ire Works as odd picks
