Amon Amarth is amazing at being Amon Amarth. This is good at being generic metalcore.

"Amon Amarth is amazing at being Amon Amarth."



And that's the problem

I enjoy them on a semi-regular basis. They're good, fast, mdm and they're content with it. I'd rather them be consistently 3-3.5 than sporadically 2-4.5.



I like them more than 3-3.5, but it's the principle.

I never really listened to these guys earlier stuff aside from a few songs and even then I never really considered them to be bad.

They were bad purely from being horrendously basic and the epitome of all that's wrong with modern popular metalcore.



People give I See Stars and others the same bad rap because of this band.

Asking Alexandria is and has always been far better than I See Stars imo, and I don't even like AA's stuff before this. I just personally find I See Stars to be the most unlistenable shit ever. They make me physically ill. I don't really have that same reaction to any other similar band, but I just cannot deal with them for some reason.

I've only heard this and Stand Up and Scream, but I think both of them are pretty awesome tbh.

Art looks like Hot Topic's take on the art for Les Discrets' debut album.

Mentioning Les Discret in a AA thread makes be want to vom

It's basically what AA have always been except with a new vocalist: shite.

lol.

Like I jammed the first 30 seconds of the opener and it had it all: 1 note bouncy rhythms, grating vox, a 'brodown' etc.

yeah New Demons was alright, would have been better if every track wasn't 4+ minutes long. Murder Mitten is still a jam. Prefer I See Stars over these guys anytime.
