@aaron, listen to Discoveries and Singularity. It's much different. It's spiritual post hardcore/metalcore whereas this is moore like 90s rave alt rock lol

Also, can we appreciate Northlane's lyrics in I Shook Hands With Death? And Aspire?



Such epic closers. So much buddhist and therapy type thinking in there too. Adrian is such a special little jewel lol

"Yeah I just started listening to Discoveries and while not bad, it just doesn't grab me like Alien does. It sounds like a carbon copy of August Burns Red...at least upon first listen. I love the atmosphere of Alien compared to that so far. I find Marcus to be a more dynamic vocalist so far. Obviously those are very rushed opinions based on spinning only half of Discoveries once."



@aaron, while i find this completely the opposite of truth, i can respect the difference in taste.



i've loved discoveries since 20-fucKING-13 because its so spiritual in its message. Songs like Abrasumente mean 'open your mind' in spanish, etc etc. Adrian is a really similar mind to my own i guess. when i hear him scream his soul out in I Shook Hands with Death (the closer), every line cuts so deep.





And then, we got Marcus over here "have you tried turning it off? *beep boop josh northland is depressed and not writing cool riffs like 1st 3 records* (Yes i said that, Node fucks, but is also the beginning of the end for riffffffage).

"Is there a purpose in this life to be fulfilled?

Is there a way to make sense of a life that will one day end?"



"Pick your fucking self up and realise

That one day you will be a memory"



Lines like this just hit really hard for me. Adrian's delivery is so clear and direct too.
