I second that, they're way different from what came later. Sort of Meshuggah-core.

"Why exactly is this band so critically acclaimed? They’re such a dull and generic band imo."



You answered your own question (kind of), djentcore is just trending. But I think Spiritbox are the gold standard for this type of music and I'm happy that a metal band has blown up so much.

They may be generic, but they perfected that sound imo.



They're so goddamn catchy and addicting.

Certain listeners only care for music if it is pushing boundaries and creating new subgenres or whatever. IMO there is nothing wrong with doing a certain style well, even if it is a do-over. THere will be entire audiences for which the do-over is the first of the style they ever hear and will elicit the same response the originator band did in older fans of the genre. It's for that reason that I love the new Tailgunner record so much. It's Judas Priest for peopll who missed that era. Yes classic Priest will always exist to go back to, but i can see this unfold new band unfold before me, that's exciting.

for people calling it generic (and who aren't with the female perspective as to why the band found continual acclaim in the male-dominated metal space) what makes it generic? what bands can you compare it to that are doing very hyper similar things that aren't their influences or aren't what they're influencing





let's get the discussion going

I mean it’s relatively straight forward metalcore but tbh they’re so catchy and Courtney’s vocals are so on point that I just don’t care. I’ll buy whatever this band does on vinyl, they’re one of my most reliable new bands.
