"If anything, Constellations’ desire to push metalcore’s boundaries is even more in the forefront. For instance, the band’s thinking about adding some gang singing—“Not like clean choruses or anything, but just like in the background, like a group of people singing,” Brubaker notes—and so far his favorite song has “almost a classical, clean section” in the middle.

“It’s so awesome,” he says. “Everything drops out except for clean guitars—these two parts are just playing together, and I really like the way it sounds. That picks up into this—I call it the horse-trot part, it almost sounds kind of Western-y. I have aspirations of us whistling over it or something, but I don’t know if everyone’s into that idea or not.

“I realize that might be a part some people listen to and go, ‘Uh, this is so weird and out-there, I hate it, this sucks,’” he adds. “But I think people who are maybe a little more adventurous with their listening will think it’s really cool. We’re not going to do that stuff all over the record—[but] there’s going to be a few moments like that here and there.”

Album Rating: 3.5

Album hasn't aged well for me (yes I realise it hasn't been long to use this phrase but its all I have)... kind of bored of it now. Might have to drop it down...

So stoked for the new album based off the video they put out today

OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN

Album Rating: 4.5

Album is still fun.

The way you review the album doesn't really fit the rating. Basically what this review tells me is that the highest rating that metalcore can get without being progressive is a 4... Good reviews don't reflect personal bias.

BUT, other than that it's a good review.

Album Rating: 4.5

I can not wait for the new album hopefully it comes soon.

Album Rating: 5.0

They have a couple studio vids and the rare pieces of music played sounds pretty interesting.

Yeah I saw the studio updates and the music being played is damn good.

The drumsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss on the studio updates

Been spinning this recently in anticipation for the new album. Shits gonna be tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.

I don't get the praise of this. It's good, but it's nothing really special. Sure, there are some great riffs here, but all the songs sound very similar. Nothing here warrants a 3.9 average.

Album Rating: 5.0

More like a 4.5 average.
