eh, idk, I don't like hearing the same thing album to album, and I actually like his vocals now. The meshuggah worship is always apparent in the breakdowns though, and I love it :)

[QUOTE=bringonthebreakdown;17919822]Viatrophy is on their final tour :(
no more holding out for music as ****ing amazing as Chronicles EP was =/[/QUOTE]

yep my mate just saw 'em

said they were excellent live but I disliked their full length

chronicles is still awesome though

Listening to the new Whitechapel song... Sean, wtf is wrong with you? Phil's vocals sound the same as always...

so basically watered down faux-brutal garbage

What the **** are you talking about?

Hint: writing songs that flow != watered down.

[I]faux-brutal[/I]

is a term that should always be taken seriously

IT'S NOT ACTUALLY BRUTAL, YOU JUST THINK IT IS.

I swear, this kid (ADB) says the dumbest ****.

they're so bad

the new Bleed From Within album is very good considering their last release was only a year ago

Listened to the new WC song, terrible as per usual. IDK what you guys see em them.

Just now checking out the self-titled Seneca album, and it's quite good. A lot better than Reflections, and I enjoyed that album quite a bit.

[QUOTE=adb;17920321]they're so bad[/QUOTE]

They're so good.*

yep new whitechapel sucks and so does new VoM.

New TTEOTD is awesome though.

But we've already discussed all this

Also wth didn't know Despised Icon broke up. Bout to listen to a bunch.

the last four songs on [id] rule, too bad michael keene's production eliminated any sort of dynamism the songs may or may not have had

That guy really needs to stop sterilizing the good young bands before they can procreate.

i doubt he could have saved/prevented born of osiris from being lame js

haven't gotten around to checking this out

they're a decent melo-death band though fo sho

[QUOTE=Thor;17920650]i doubt he could have saved/prevented born of osiris from being lame js[/QUOTE]

too true

idk what other bands he produced but BOO seems to be the most popular for reasons that completely escape me, VoM does the same thing but at least it's tolerable some of the time (and occasionally awesome)

The production on BOO is much better than on VoM

and uhh, new VoM is top heavy again, just like on CMC

"top heavy"

BOO's latest album had pretty ok production but their first was terrible. Too bad they're even worse at pretending to be Meshuggah than VoM.

BOO is seriously one of the blandest, most awkward sounding bands I've ever heard.

"Abstract Art" has probably the funniest keyboard/breakdown combo I've ever heard, seriously

Their keyboardist is seriously one of the biggest dumbasses I have ever heard detract from bland music.

Progressive. Epic. Crushing.

their vocalist is really bland but the music is good

not brutul enuff

not progressive or epic or crushing enough

Brent, we get it, you like haphazard/awkward transitions (well lack thereof tbh).

lots of bands can't write transitions, esp in dethkore

**** transitions i got pro tools

i mean, I'd rather have sloppy transitions over good transitions if the music is actually enjoyable

case in point: btbam zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

what's with the incessant btbam bashing

Kid doesn't recognize actual talent, just flashy playing.

born of osiris is so flashy.

sumeriancore brings the flash

ADB posts are so boring. Blah.

Listening to Vicer Exerciser.

mappy i tried to get into years spent cold but didn't get why you thought it was better than 90% of other deathcore bands

[QUOTE=Thor;17920642]the last four songs on [id] rule, too bad michael keene's production eliminated any sort of dynamism the songs may or may not have had[/QUOTE]

He is a pretty shitty producer, The Faceless production is cool, but he needs to stay away from DC bands.

Because that review is clearly a joke. That band blows so hard. :lol:

It's like part 2 of my Waking The Cadaver review, only less use of, "and chainsaws."
