It's like the quintessential AILD song. Tim's voice is definitely shot (unlike his wife)

seeing the rest of the band come back with such a good song when that music video for my own grave dropped was epic as hell. Even having Tim there with them. I was one of the people open to seeing Tim correct course and redeem himself.

It was a huge deal when it first dropped. People were hyped.



There was a definitely a "real metalcore is back" mentality when they first reunited, then Tim had to ruin it all over again.

That song was really mid imo. After Awakened and Tim's arrest and that single I knew they were done making anything of note.

Honestly I'm okay with Shaped By Fire since that still had the classic lineup. Not bothering with the new music with the lineup that quit before the album even came out though lmao

My Own Grave was great but I can’t remember any other songs from the album.

^wasnt a great album. And I’m pretty sure the single had a different mix than the record version. Single was noticeably better.

Shaped by Fire was ok, but I don't feel any inclination to ever return to it. The whole "I've changed now and atoned for my sins" narrative gets repetitive and old (especially now that we know Tim didn't mean it), and the music is mostly just a weaker version of their older work

I still stand by Blinded being a ripper. Though I'm noticing how similar the opening is to Nothing Left off of here

Yeah, Blinded absolutely rips. Redefined and Torn Between also went hard
