Spirit, you and I have been on the site for over a decade at this point and we both know there's been way worse than this thread lol. I'm at 9 years on the account but I did start on another account and then moved to this one.

Lol some good troll feeding itt

Thing is though, sometimes people use the word troll to use against people who are being dumb but realistically sometimes people do act and think like this.

He is a plump forest dwelling troll I tell you

Solid review. I know it's pretty much more of the same, but damn it's still strong.

liverpool ain't ever winning the league bud, biggest clowns on merseyside, and you've got everton to compete with

Ever since Howard Jones left the band I've just had no purpose in life, why do I even exist when those beautiful "help me I'm being mugged" screams will never again be a part of metalcore forerunners Killswitch Engage

This is so middle of the road and unmemorable jeez

I just spun End of Heartache and realized this is about equal to that for me. Starting to like this more with subsequent spins.

what

Album Rating: 2.5

you heard me yellow rat. this is prob more shallow in presentation but hits just as hard. half of EoH wore off of me years ago anyway, hell the best songs off that were the bonus tracks. 15 years removed and funny how that still hasn't changed for me.

Album Rating: 2.5

I guess my reaction is different, because KsE were one of the first metal bands I got into. I honestly don't see this being anywhere near as good or hard hitting as their first four records.

I jumped on Alive or Just Breathing when I was 12 around the time it came out so I can relate. even if old school metal was my real gateway, metalcore was What I latched on that wasn't my dad's metal. End of Heartache had its cheesy moments (the damn t/t) and the drum style didn't completely win me over. Since Jesse came back I like how they got uptempo again for the most part, that's where I'm liking this (and that I avoided radio metal for so long that this is hitting the right spots). I can spin AoJB in full but everything since then I've only took half from and would throw them on a gym shuffle. I listened to Take This Oath again after some time and enjoyed The Signal Fire more cuz of it.

this gave me early All That Remains vibes at times too

Album Rating: 2.5

How would you rank their albums then? I only started listening to metal when I was 16 - never bothered with music before that. ADD was my first metal album ever. I couldn't even get into AoJB until much later. Howard KsE, The Fall of Ideals and the first two Parkway albums are all I really cared about until like '08.

Album Rating: 2.5

Alive or Just Breathing obviously is #1 cuz the s/t re-recordings are gold standard metalcore.

As Daylight Dies after cuz My Curse and Reject Yourself are among their best, but I don't love the whole record. The rest are close behind and literally equal to me besides the 2nd s/t, that one was crap. EoH and the these last 3 Jesse records I can take half of it all, throw it on shuffle, have a gym session and be satisfied.

Album Rating: 2.5

I see. I can get behind that. Although I do think that this is as bad as the second s/t. There is literally one song here that I actually like.



As Daylight Dies > Alive or Just Breathing > The End of Heartache > Disarm the Descent => don't really care much about the rest

Album Rating: 2.5

I can take the more upbeat cuts from this, Disarm, and Incarnate, make a full album and it'll be better than all of End of Heartache to me, except World Ablaze. I found that the songwriting and hardcore swing on those cuts I preferred more than the more midtempo stuff on EoH. Hell, the little things like how there's more growls here overall than on their other albums I like.
