Publicly yeah I think it’s just political views but he’s also been openly disliked by prominent members of other bands so I think in general people just kind of consider him a tool

Album Rating: 4.0

Should be noted it was members of politically charged bands

Album Rating: 3.5

Interesting.



I personally couldn’t give a flying fuck. Everything is always blown out of proportion, especially when it comes to politics.

Album Rating: 3.5

Ok I get the “dense” description I keep seeing now.



I’m at about a 3.7 on this right now, but this feels like a grower for sure. I think it’ll end up at a 4 but I’ll be conservative for now.



Better than polar, not as good as hail — imo, at least as of right now.

Album Rating: 3.5

Wrongdoers and Redeemer >>>





This is where I’ve landed too wildcard. I’d put martyr and all hail next.

I have no idea how to rank this bands discography

I just now realized the John Lennon Imagine incorporations into Memorial Hoard lol

“It was a nothingburger that got blown up https://www.metalsucks.net/2020/06/04/norma-jeans-cory-brandan-issues-lengthier-apology-for-anti-black-lives-matter-message/“



I think it should also be pointed out that this happened like a week after George Floyd was murdered, beyond tone deaf and not funny at all. Nothing unforgivable but holy shit my opinion of him fucking plummeted.

And his apology was so pussyfooted. I’d rather someone own up to being a dickhead over some bullshit like

“aw shucks guys really I didnt know 👉👈, I will take time away to learn!”,

when the only thing that idiot learned was to not post his true opinions during politically volatile times.

Look, I’ve continued to listen to lesser bands with members who’ve done far worse shit. in the grand scheme of things, it is just a fucking social media post. But he just chose to say one of the worst possible things at the worst possible time.

But also, tbh when bands refused to be on the same bill as them, i dunno, that kinda tells me that it’s probably been more of a pattern and not just a single post.



All that to say, it seems like he’s just an asshole. (Probably) A harmless asshole, but an asshole.

Album Rating: 3.5

Gun to my head, and keeping in mind that I only started listening to these guys about a month ago and I’m very much still digesting some of their albums:



Wrongdoers

Redeemer

All Hail

Bless the Martyr

Meridional

The Anti-Mother

Deathrattle

O’ God the Aftermath

Polar Similar



But honestly, looking at it now, it just doesn’t seem right somehow. Polar and o god shouldn’t be the last two but…something has to be, right?



Shit. Honestly Deathrattle could swim or plummet a spot or two, that’s the hardest and newest to rank rn.

Album Rating: 3.0

Tbh, and I know this won’t be popular, but Bless the Martyr is probably my least favorite, followed closely by this and O God.



This band really came into their own with Redeemer imo, and to me this one just feels like a mishmash of their last three but worse. And Anti Mothers avg is obscene. It’s a great record but I guess not something the nerds on here wanted from them at the time. I don’t know what people had against it *exactly*… I was like 13 and absolutely not listening to shit like this at the time lol



Tbh all the avgs for Redeemer, Anti Mother, and Meridional are all kinda whack



So

Wrongdoers

Redeemer

Meridional

All Hail

Anti Mother

Polar Similar

ehhh the rest. I haven’t listened to the other three enough lately to confidently say where I’d stack them at

Album Rating: 3.5

I dunno man, I try not to really pay much attention to shit like that. Too many variables and shit like that. He seems like a pretty cool, smart, personable guy in interviews. But who fucking knows?

Album Rating: 3.5

I feel like I shouldn’t love BtM quite as much as I do simply because I didn’t listen to it at the time (that day and age I was just listening to Tool, Deftones, AiC, soundgarden, smashing pumpkins etc etc — more or less 90s bands). But I think it’s a flawed, messy masterpiece. The messiness is part of why. Just uncompromising, ambitious, raw and authentic. Those are all very important qualities in my music.

Album Rating: 3.5

O’ God is really good — esp Disconnecktie, shit is incredible — and I like the kindof eerie, primal, almost medical oddity journal feel…very specific sounding but something about the artwork, the sound, the song titles.



But in the end, it’s kindof more of the same, only not quite as good and a little derivative coming off BtM. It’s like Linkin Park’s Meteora to Hybrid Theory essentially.

Album Rating: 3.5

Solid ranking though for sure man. Agreed on Anti Mother. Surrender your sons and robots 3 actors 0 are two of their very best. Then you have self employed chemist, Murphy, vipers, hornets, daughters…pretty fucking stacked record.

Spearmint Revolt and Heartache were pretty immediate for me, but damn, Memorial Hoard and Aria Obscura hittin’ hard now. They just kinda whizzed by uninterestingly my first couple listens



This def seems kinda front loaded so far.



EDIT: LOOOOLLLL holy shit, just realized how much I’m spamming this thread. But hey, this bitch needs attention and I’m gonna give it to her good!!!

Album Rating: 5.0

real metalcore shit

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah the back half of this grew off me a bit. Doesn't have the same heavy hitters as All Hail with Careen and Anna. Heartache is a banger though

Album Rating: 3.5

If Loss then Leader-Careen-Anna is a hell of a 3rd act



Heartache is indeed great but I’m still a little mixed on Penny Margs, a killing word and sleep explosion. But they feel like growers and I’ve definitely heard the first half more times than the 2nd half (throwing it on in the car, driving 20-25 mins, then deciding to listen to something else on the drive back). I’m definitely gonna devote more time to this though.
