Album Rating: 3.5

This comment section has gotta be top 10 for frequency of bad takes damn.



Acting like early Mis Sigs is somehow overrated when a lot of the genre's current mainstays talk about how their stuff is directly influenced by those albums. Remember Counterparts came into this genre as a wannabe Mis Sigs.



Out here acting like one of the most influential Metalcore bands of the 2000's is overrated, come on people...

1. This is the only misstep in Misery Signal's entire discog, and its not even that bad so anyone who comes in here to say the band isn't that good is a donkey-brained pleb.
2. Counterparts are awesome and deserve all the praise they get.
3. ABR sucks
There I just cleared up everything.

Hey ABR had one good album

Album Rating: 3.5

Album Rating: 3.5

" im reminded of how much stronger river king is than most of whats here"

Album Rating: 3.0

Ftfy

Album Rating: 3.0

"weird, I like the second half of this album way more than the first"



generally the 2nd half is better than the first (tempest is fine, sunlifter is dope but like not quite as dope as the version w karl so not rlly a win, and through vales needs waaaaaaay more added onto it to flesh it out/just shouldnt fucking be in the middle of the album), but i still dig river king the most of anything here. some dreams comes the closest but i also really like cascade locks and the fall

Album Rating: 3.0

I dont remember anything from this other than River King and Sunlifter tbh. Gonna have to give this some more time eventually

Album Rating: 3.5

Where's the love for Some Dreams tho



Also, 1. "This is the only misstep in Misery Signal's entire discog, and its not even that bad so anyone who comes in here to say the band isn't that good is a donkey-brained pleb.

2. Counterparts are awesome and deserve all the praise they get.

[2] I still like Constellations to this day, but agreed across the board

Album Rating: 4.0

Some Dreams grew on me so hard



I LOOOVE YOU

Album Rating: 3.5

Some dreams is sick, cascade locks is my fave though, that lil 5 or 6 second long late 90s 7a7p style breakdown is soooooo nice

Album Rating: 3.0

Bring back Karl please

just gonna weigh in here and say counterparts used to be cool but they have made the same album like 3 times in a row now

Album Rating: 2.0

every lead on mirrors is better than every lead on this album



change my mind

Album Rating: 3.5

You’re not wrong but that’s peak mis sigs lead album

Album Rating: 3.0

That’s what I’m trying to say. The leads on this doesn’t compare to Malice and the heaviness doesn’t even come close to touching Controller or Absent Light

Album Rating: 4.0

Songwriting though is better than Absent Light and like half of Mirrors



Hence my 4

Album Rating: 3.0

It's not bad but It feels like a demo, very short with ideas that goes nowhere. Pretty disappointing from these guys. given their stream of very solid albums.



And holy shit those weak ass cleans are horrible.

Album Rating: 3.0

MS has been my favorite band since Of Malice came out. I love every single album for different reasons. Absent Light grows on me every time I listen to it, especially the older I get. Find that album to be very very underrated considering it has so many awesome tracks and a mood that flows through the whole album.



Ultraviolet? Oof. It doesn’t even sound like they wanted to write this record. It is so lazy and boring compared to everything else and the album isn’t tied together at all for me. There’s no real heart or emotion in it for me. I’ll always love both vocalists, but Jesse did not do a great job here. I enjoy his sound and delivery overall, but man... The lyrics are downright cringy and the singing could take a whole .5 off the rating on its own.



The only songs I would really classify as MS songs are Old Ghosts, River King, and Some Dreams. Everything else I could do without. They really should’ve added another 2 full songs to this and maybe the album would be able to stand with the others, but it is far and away their worst album. So disappointing.

Album Rating: 3.5

I think its disappointing when the time between this and their last album is taken into account-this sounds surprisingly autopilot for such a massive break. Surprised at how many people hate the clean singing on this though, I kinda dig the melancholic monotonous vibe it gives
