Album Rating: 5.0

“We all disagreed about what the strongest songs were, and which songs made for the best record. I think we’re all equally unhappy with what ended up on the album. It was a compromise. Some of the songs on that album are actually some of the weakest ones that we recorded, and some of the ones that aren’t on the album are the strongest. We’re just not exactly sure how we’re going to release them yet. Whether it’s B-sides, or an EP, we don’t know yet.”



Looks like we are getting the rest of the songs that didn't make it to the final album.

"The production is quite ‘thin’ now you mention it, don’t think it massively impacts my enjoyment mind."



Weird. It was the first thing I noticed. It bugs me a lot.

Album Rating: 2.5

A very strong release IMO, although the beginning is much stronger than the middle/end. It's like AWLWLB without as much diversity to separate the songs.

Album Rating: 3.5

The highlights on here are better than AWLWLB I think. AWL is probably their most forgettable album for me next to No Heroes

Album Rating: 4.0

it blows my mind that a band like Converge would do something like releasing an album with "some of the weakest" songs they recorded during the sessions for the album, wtf guys

Album Rating: 3.5

seems like you don't agree with them so I guess it doesn't matter too much

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah that sucks for the band to say like three days after the album comes out. What u doin

Album Rating: 2.5

Yeah that’s just strange... seriously guys just put your best material on the album, leaving superior material off is selling yourself short. Sacrifice a little flow, this doesn’t even flow perfectly anyway.

Album Rating: 3.5

but what do you do when four people disagree about which songs are strong and which ones are weak?

Album Rating: 2.5

especially when the album is their worst



spinning non stop, gonna slap the 3 on it but not ready yet

Album Rating: 3.5

I dunno, scrap it? I hate to say it but I just think there's a kind of social contract breach going on here--if it really is a matter of deadlock between members I don't think you should say stuff like "some of what got on was weaker and some of what was left off is stronger", or you shouldn't release an album that allows you to make that judgment less than a week after release. Unseemly backtracking

"but what do you do when four people disagree about which songs are strong and which ones are weak?"



make better tracks so it aint arguable!!!!!

Album Rating: 3.5

But I don't REAAALLYYY care, just seems like a WEAK move broe

Album Rating: 2.5

yea its weak and justifies another release that will now get some attention for 'having the best songs'



i mean, music is a business unless you are just some dude on soundcloud making songs in ur basement

Album Rating: 3.5

i suppose they could've waited and taken more time to write

"seems like you don't agree with them so I guess it doesn't matter too much"



well yea I obviously love the album, but you can't release an album and then say you're unhappy with some songs on it just few days after you released it, and that you have a few unreleased ones that you think are better. hearing that from Converge really bothers me because it really doesn't sound like them. they've been always saying their newest album is their best one, otherwise they wouldn't release it. like I saw Jake ranking their whole discography backwards chronologically lol. I'm probably blowing this way out of proportion based just on that one quote, fanboy in me can't help it.

Album Rating: 2.5

they had 5 yrs and like the slow longer songs on here are bottom-tier converge imo



rlly hope they dont play the weaker cuts and do broken by light live when i see em

Album Rating: 3.5

you're still gonna complain regardless

Album Rating: 4.0

broken by light rules
