BMTH still sucks, this new album was not worth the praise people were giving it.

Nice surprise in BTM leaking, about to take a listen to that

[quote=Dimmu Burger;16725653]the new Bring Me The Horizon is ok. Not as heavy as I expected.[/quote]

my thoughts exactly, oh well at least they tried something different
but i thought count your blessings was a fun listen here and there, so im predicting that is how this one will pan out for me

BTM was pretty solid

would Woe of Tyrants be considered deathcore

I don't think so

subgenres are to confusing for me

I had WoT's old album, I don't recall it being deathcore, I'll check out their new stuff

i really like their new song

the new song is decent, it's nothing I haven't heard a lot before in terms of soloing
Definitely not deathcore, its death/thrash

its nothing new but they are very good at what they do

the new stuff isnt death metal or thrash at all

that new song is terrible, i cannot believe that for the most part this new album is just bury your dead, so disappointing. The last 5 songs are real good though, seems to be a trend for metalcore albums this year.

I wasn't talking about fag BMTH u fag

i agree the bury your dead breakdowns are really annoying

there are a few songs they have that make it work, none on the new album though

[QUOTE=hismajestythepope;16730207]i agree bury your dead are sh[I]i[/I]t![/QUOTE]

fix'd

well thats common knowledge

I know their vocalist =D he's ****ing sweet. the fact of him being an awesome dude (though kinda sketchy at times) doesn't save them from being obnoxious in any sense though

So I saw Whitechapel and The Acacia Strain last night. Here's my quick opinions:

Whitechapel were very loud. I forgot that they have 3 guitarists, which is kinda overkill in my opinion. I felt horrible for the sound guy, cause he had 3 super loud guitarists on stage that he had to mix together and it just all sounded like a noisy mess. It wasn't bad enough that I didn't enjoy them, but it was a little odd. They were fun to watch though and the crowd really got into it. It's cool to see how big a following all these bands are getting, cause a lot of people sang a long to Whitechapel songs, which I found amusing.

The Acacia Strain are down to one guitarist now, after having 3 guitarists two albums ago when I last saw them. They sounded freakin amazing, especially after Whitechapel. They played a lot of songs that I knew and had way more catchy parts than Whitechapel, which fueled a debate that I'll get back to. It was also fun to watch their guitarist, who is totally thuggin, dance around the stage like Master P or something. The vocalist made a few statements saying something like "People should come here for the music, not to put on a fashion show or to take pictures for their myspace page." They all played very well and I enjoyed them a lot.

Now the debate that I had with my brother's scenester "girlfriend" or whatever she is: I told her that The Acacia Strain aren't all that different from Whitechapel and she all but b*tched me out over this. I said that they both have really low tuned guitars, lots of juns and low growly vocals. Their overall sound isn't all that much different, The Acacia Strain just tends to write more of a variety of songs and parts within their songs (for a deathcore band). She said that they aren't remotely alike and Whitechapel is ridiculously better and prettymuch implied that I'm a complete retard for thinking otherwise. I found this entertaining, cause she is like 17 and thinks she knows everything about the world and music, cause she used to do promotions for Victory Records. Ah well, there was no swaying her, even though tAS were way better live as well as on their recordings. I thought that I'd come to you guys to see if I was completely and utterly wrong. Any opinions?

I'm listening to TAS right now actually, haha. I'm seeing them in December so I'm glad that they're fun live.

As far as the debate goes - I'm not an expert on things like this, but in my opinion it'd be really hard to justify that Whitechapel and TAS aren't similar. I see no reason why they can't be grouped together. I mean musically they'd have differences, like you said TAS is more varied, but I'd be a bit worried if all bands within one genre sounded identical. Of course, which band is "better" is really a matter of opinion.

Yeah they're definitely fun to watch. Who do you like better though, just out of curiosity.

Out of TAS and Whitechapel? I like both, but I'm overall much more familiar with Whitechapel. The first album I heard by TAS was Continents when that leaked, and for whatever reason it didn't really stick with me. Now I'm really liking 3750 and The Dead Walk.

Yeah I got into them when 3750 came out. I was looking into anything that was produced by Adam D and came across it. I listened to it a lot, like every few days. The Dead Walk is really good as well.

i really like the dead walk, i still haven't heard 3750 or their new one yet

Both are good, I recommend them.

then i shall take a listen to them
how ya been dan?

Good man, quite happy cause last night was a lot of fun, in case you didn't read my write ups about it a few pages ago and in the PtH thread.

yeah i read them, sounded like a good night, i wish that tour was stopping by in oregon, but nooooooooooooo

That's what you get for living in Oregon! lol

no ****, we get some ok bills here and there but its so inconsistent
