but that new year band was painful. i rarely turn music off, this and Fight Fair being two recent ones i can think of

I agree, they're really disappointing, which sucks cause the dude's old bands were sweet.

I posted because of the twitter thing, but apparently they made a twitter for the band.

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;17734078]Yeah I love Architects older stuff, Hollow Crown is where I start skipping songs.

MS is the same with Controller.[/QUOTE]

I don't skip anything on Hollow Crown, but Controller I rarely listen to all the way through.

I only play like one or two songs off Hollow Crown. If I feel like listening to Architects I'll just listen to their 2 better albums.

Same. Ruin and Nightmares are just so ****ing heavy.

Also, Architects/Dead Swans split.

I love all their stuff but I feel that Hollow Crown has more standout songs, even if as an album it may not be as good.

I mean the first 7 songs for me are flawless. After that it gets boring until Dead March, and the title track.

I disagree so thoroughly it's ridiculous.

There are riffs that stick in my head off of Hollow Crown moreso than the other albums. That's really what I mean.

Yeah you're STUPID. :p

That's not very nice.

It was clearly a joke, hence the :p

did you get banned again? when does i am the robots come back?

I feel that the riffs on Hollow Crown are more samey than their other 2 albums.

[QUOTE=Dimmu Burger;17735601]did you get banned again? when does i am the robots come back?[/QUOTE]

nah i havent gotten banned for a while

robots is unbanned in march :D

I look forward to seeing that again. It's classic.

Nightmares is EASILY the best Architects

Duh.

If only Nightmares had Ruin's production...

10/10

I feel the whole of hollow crown is more a live crowd pleasing album, plenty of breakdowns and sing-a-longs.

other 2 are way ****ing heavier mind. and as a guitarist, waaaaaay more technicial (to the death lolwut!? thats just one song of the top of my head, and i haven't listenened in ages).

vocals are much much improved on hollow crown. or in my opinion anyway, sort of fry screaming on nightmares iirc.

edit: song title.

My vox are like the original vocalists you faggot

are they ****

don't mind sam carter's vocals, but they're not the best. his scream is kind of one-dimensional, but at least it fits the music.

their vocalist on nightmares was more or less one-dimensional too... and his vocals weren't bad. I liked how slow and patient he was sometimes.

both of the vocalists are pretty good

The vocals on Hollow Crown get really boring really quickly.

Architects are boring in general, I don't understand all of the fuss over them.

Idk I think you'd atleast enjoy their first album due to the botch style riffing they have.

[QUOTE=Apoc;17735786]don't mind sam carter's vocals, but they're not the best. his scream is kind of one-dimensional, but at least it fits the music[/QUOTE]

Sam's vocals on Ruin, and live, aren't very one dimensional at all.

I think the one dimensional-ness of what he does now is something that turned me off to the new stuff.

He's fantastic live, no doubt.

He's up there with Anthony Gunnells, Chris Fox, and Jeff Moreira in my book.

I disagree, but I have a hard-on for extremely tweedly guitars backed with really tight drumming.
