I like this one more than Deceiver. Probably need to lower both of them though.

I kinda had that same feeling with this for a while, but then I started listening to it again after a long break and I like it again. This probably isn't worth anything higher than a 3, but I think 2 is a bit low.



And I don't really like Deciever much at all. Not really sure why, since even some people who hate stuff like this seem to enjoy it, but it just didn't click with me. None of the songs impressed me enough to make me want to listen to the whole album at once. Maybe if I listen all the way through, it'll get better? Is that how things work?

Deceiver might end up like this as well. Just wait a bit and then give the whole album a listen.

I haven't actually listened to Deciever all the way through yet haha. It's on my to-do list though.

Just stick with this one. Deceiver is so overproduced at times it gets sickening. This has a more raw feeling to it.

Eh, I can only listen to a song or two now before I have to switch to something else.

We Know Who You Are, Battle Royale (from this album) and Casanova Rodeo are my favorites.

Have you heard the demo ep with Craig Mabbitt that came before this? Because it is phenomenal.

Are you on Drugs?, The Devil Inside and the original Casanova Rodeo are all in this bands top 5.

Probably nostalgia again but a perfect EP imo aside from the hooks which work well enough but not amazing or anything. Wish there was more "progressive crabcore" like this.



Anyone new to metalcore got thoughts on this? This EP blew my mind in 2010

Man i really dig this EP. This definitely sounds more raw than Deceiver and works in their favor. I've come to dislike most clean vocals in metalcore but i still enjoy Telles singing on this

I've said it a million times, but RIP. This and the unreleased Craig ep are absolutely stellar, Deceiver was good, and then
