never met these guys personally but the people I know who have say they're good dudes



of course what they're like when they're meeting fans isn't necessarily the same as what they're like in private



that said I enjoy this despite all the recent shit. not going to let the bassist's past dumbassery ruin an otherwise un-problematic band.

Album Rating: 3.5

How can you logically 1 this



"it's a solid album" [2] its a hell of a lot better than dear youth that's for sure

Regardless of what's going on right now, I just don't like the album at all.

Fair enough lol

Everyone ranted about how generic the new August burns red album is, this literally sounds like one long ass track. The vocals are really bland, and the only thing that salvages this album is the story of them surviving that crash. It’s good that they recovered, and back to making music again, but this is mediocre even by their standards

I generally agree with karpatfalvi. This band still is and have always have been, meat and potatoes to a fault. Unless this site is willing to admit to its own double standards, the only reason why this record is getting reviewed well is because of The Ghost Insides's history. From a human level the band's perseverance is genuinely awe-inspiring. The music will always be paramount for me however, and everything else is tertiary.

Album Rating: 4.5

agree to disagree. this is on par with their older material, which slayed. hence its getting good response. them surviving is tertiary just like you said

Certainly a huge step up from Dear Youth

All you TGI fanboys saying shit like “that happened 5 years ago people change” and simultaneously pulling up Rashod’s tweets from 10 years ago to prove “he’s bad too” got me laffin

Yea agreed, plus it's not like the bassist was a kid or anything, he was a grown ass man directing a racial slur towards somebody lol that shit's bad no matter how you look at it

was the driver black?

edit: read up on it and yeah. what the hell was he thinking.

Did you see the controversy behind the drummer too? Apparently he made fun of Culture Abuse's vocalist for having CP. Someone asked for a source to this info and the Culture Abuse vocalist tweeted that he's the source. It looks like these tweets are deleted now. Same label. Epitaph probably got involved

I'm not trying to act like I have a better solution or really even to apply it to this exact drama here, but all this shit has got me thinking.



For everyone pulling out their pitchforks and (rightfully) condemning disgusting behavior, is it really useful to perpetuate a culture of retribution here? Legitimately asking because while I don't personally feel like that's the answer, I also don't know that I have the perfect answer here.



Speaking for myself, I know I'm guilty of having horrible opinions in the past that I'm grateful to have grown past. But I ALSO know there are significantly more bigoted people that are still law-abiding if prejudiced and generally hateful people that are citizens in this country with rights.



They might wrongfully believe a lot of things, but at the end of the day they are your peers. I definitely feel like context matters IMMENSELY, but I'm sick of seeing people trashing on every character flaw in their peers. You want to be better? Model better behavior and let the rest of us meet you there or as far as I'm concerned you're being a self-righteous jerk.
