Yeah the first song i heard from this opens with the lines "I WAS A GOOD MAN ONCE I WAS A GOOD MAN ONCE"



They're so out of ideas it's kinda funny

jesus, are they still doing that fucking story that i dont give a shit about? it was cool on Travels but after that it wore off hard.

On empty days it was like "okay cool a different characters perspective kind of a novelty thing but the acoustic tracks kinda broke it up, and like white oak doors made it a bit easier to forgive. But by letters home it completely wore off

i did like Empty Days a lot, it grew off majorly though. dont feel the need to listen to it ever again. i just stick with Travels.

im so sick of this stupid concept tho that nowadays when i listen to defeater is pretty much just lost ground since its the only one that tries to stray from that concept a little bit

yeah i like it but idk. when i feel like listening to Defeater all i want to hear is Travels. i dont need anything else from them. Lost Ground would be second for me though. fuck the rest.

Empty Days was dope.

I'll always return to Travels, Empty Days, and Lost Ground. The rest didn't even have to be written.

white oak doors is one of my favorite defeater songs tbh

It is my least favorite album of D. and I agree that it is repetetive and tired. On the other hand, as a separate work - it still defends itself.



I think they may easily evolve and stick to their concept - just explore the universe they created while not sticking with the same people (it worked great on Lost Ground). That would also allow them to introduce some new influences into the music (e.g. characters coming from south would allow for experimenting with blues etc.).



All in all - I like them for other LPs and Lost Ground EP. Cowerdice is a masterpiece.

I don't see this band being good again and I love Travels and Lost Ground

Somehow, being one of the few people who enjoy this makes me feel warm inside.

This just came on while shuffle playing my library. Haven't listened to it in quite a while and man, it still hits. The vocal production and mix is perfect. The only thing that's better are the drums. Goddamn. So.fucking.good. If you don't think December 1943 is one of the best hardcore songs ever, I don't even care.

That might be too much, but glad someone else digs this.

This band really went to shit, huh?

Haven’t bothered with this band since Empty Days.
