i love a catchy hook but the vox and to a lesser extent instrumentation on that track just do not work for me

"You definitely have to look harder to find the good stuff now"



Feel like this rings true for any given genre, for better and for worse.

I like Polaris, but they're like the definition of a generic modern metalcore band lol

The only hooks that stay with me these days are from Wolves at the Gate

the sheer presence of the hook on bright future (and this in general) is not what makes it not work. most of the core i like is significantly poppier than this, and i wouldnt pretend otherwise. its that the melodies themselves are pretty bland and generic. its just not something this particular band is all that good at so its all pretty faceless



i dont even think bright future is the biggest offender here tho. gatekeeper has one of the most annoying choruses ive heard all year in any genre. "iD rAtHeR bE tHe fUcKiNg MoNstEr" is definitely the worst 3 seconds here

alive or just breathing already completed melodic metalcore/poppy hooks in 2002 other bands should have stopped trying after that

I saw some people compare Bright Future's hook to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge and they couldn't be more right. such a good hook.

lmao nah



it is like a 3.2-3.3. i wasnt expecting to drop it down tho i went back to it trying to make a custom tracklist w the storyteller songs (not really doable tho idk the prod is a lot more different than i realized)
