Count it all as lost breakdown is brootal

Album Rating: 4.5

band needs to go prog for their next release.



like, i love them and all - including this album, but they've pretty much done everything they could

with what they're working with.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yea I can totally see them pulling off a good prog record. They have a good foundation and skilled enough musicianship now. Just as long as the songwriting doesn't fall short.

Album Rating: 4.5

I love them and I love Metalcore but I'm inclined to agree there. Unless they change their sound

completely there really is nothing left for them in this genre, they've covered it. They could pull

off a prog album.

Album Rating: 4.0

Going in a prog direction would be a terrible decision. We don't need another between the batman and me

Album Rating: 4.5

I'm guessing there are definitely some things that are and might prevent that change from happening -- including:



A) Solid State; I doubt they'll be willing to let ABR switch genres

B) The fans. ABR has some dedicated and great fans, but like most popular metalcore - the fanbase is mostly full of morons who will abandon them and give them no chance. Hell, just this June when they released Spirit Breaker, a fairly standard metalcore song with some decent spoken word -- they were already getting shit on by "fans" because this isn't the ABR they are used to.

C) Success. Barring critical reviews of a potential album aside, metalcore is a much easier genre to make money in - as opposed to prog, so that fear might prevent them from doing it.



Still, I'm all for them finally breaking their "Creative Captivity" and going full prog because they've hit the genre barrier awhile ago.

lol, lets be honest

Echoes was so fucking beautiful. My god was this album great... it was pretty touching on a few songs. I never really was an ABR fan because well I never really checked them out. Friend suggested to listen to their latest album... I was just blown away.



Completely deserves its high rating.
