No, the drummer was kicked out. The drummer had most of the talent in the band.

I actually like this album,

Although generic, they make it sound so good.
Not anything new to the table,
But they make good use of what they have.

Also, I'm tired Of people complaining about breakdowns and how deathcore is full of generic bands,
Uhhh yeah DEATHmetal has no GENERIC or shitty bands, yeah that's right, keep dreaming.

every genre has it's own generic bands

deathcore just sucks

While I agree with the reviewer's assessment that the breakdown-centric nature of the songs is pretty annoying, I believe that this review is poorly written. I think the author is just looking for elements of the music to hate.



For example, he criticizes the album for including "Intro" and "Pouring Reign" by saying that instead of ten songs, there are really only eight songs. Despite the brevity of "Intro," I believe that both tracks are necessary.



Also, breakdowns in death metal, hell, breakdowns in metal have existed long before the death-core genre. I'm surprised that the review doesn't know this, considering that he writes like a true metal elitist.



The last line of this review is just low.

^ welcome to sputnik!!!!!!

A 4 may be too high, but I honestly think the good riffs/leads make up for the annoying breakdowns.

"Also, I'm tired Of people complaining about breakdowns and how deathcore is full of generic bands,

the difference is that death metal doesnt have boring one note breakdowns and even generic death metal bands usally sound at least ok because theyre adopting a superior paradigm.

dont over-simplify to benefit your argument. yeah, breakdowns have existed in metal long before deathcore, but most of them werent boring, poorly timed, one note breakdowns. not only that but they didnt pack a few into every single fucking song just for the sake of having a breakdown.

You said the same thing in two different comments... Plus, why did you hyphenate "oversimplify?" Don't randomly use punctuation.



Please explain how I am oversimplifying my argument. You fail to understand what a breakdown is; it's a "break" in the song that is mainly repetitive and rhythmic, meaning that is harmonically simple because the emphasis is more so on percussive elements. It's not meant for the band to show off; it's meant to get the audience going during a live performance. Good luck finding a breakdown that is, harmonically, much beyond a handful of notes and some pinch harmonics.



By your argument, one of the most memorable breakdowns of all time in "Domination" by Pantera sucks. Until Dimebag starts his random shredding in the very end of the song, it consists of the guitar repeating a one-note rhythm at a slow tempo. They slow this down even further live. Despite its simplicity, I think it's a pretty brutal breakdown, and audiences seem to agree with me; watch any of the live performances on YouTube.



By the way, nice job ignoring the very first line of my comment: " I agree with the reviewer's assessment that the breakdown-centric nature of the songs is pretty annoying." The breakdowns are certainly the weak point of this album. Your criticism was pointless.

"You said the same thing in two different comments"



in the first one i explained why generic deathcore is worse than generic death metal, in the second one i explained that the breakdowns that have always been around in metal and the breakdowns in deathcore are not the same, therefore your argument is retarded. you over-simplified (suck my balls faggot) it by leaving out the fact that the breakdowns in deathcore lack any creativity, are mostly one note bore-fests, saturate every song, and are poorly placed. theres a big difference. my criticism is valid, youre just retarded.

Even if you addressed different points with each comment, you still said the same thing in both comments. Your second comment was just a bit longer. By the way, throwing around phrases like "adopting a superior paradigm" does not make you sound smarter. Try again.



First comment: "the difference is that death metal doesnt have boring one note breakdowns"



Second comment: "breakdowns have existed in metal long before deathcore, but most of them werent boring, poorly timed, one note breakdowns"



Slightly different words, same exact meaning, though you were more general in the second case (death metal vs. metal). Of course, these were both excerpts, but they were the bulk of your comments.



This is just turning into a flame war. All I merely did was voice my opinion, you criticized it, I refuted, and then you attacked me. I will end with this: if I'm a retard, then at least I know how to properly punctuate and capitalize. Go back to primary school.

Lol i must have missed that reply, 2013 me would not have let that go.
