Space Jester
05.14.18 | Thrill Seeker has a way more engaging tracklist on the whole than anything they ever did after that. Much more in the way of odd time signatures, dissonant melodies, raw but substantial production that wasn’t too slick, no dumb clean vox or annoying genre-roulette transitions and a better vocalist that didn’t sound like an average hardcore frontman |
SteakByrnes
05.14.18 | I mean it's good, but the only album I think it comes close to is Leveler |
Space Jester
05.14.18 | It’s the best by far to me
And no one ever gives me a good reason for it not being good, it’s just always “oh that one isn’t that good”. Would be genuinely interested in someone explaining why it’s not as good because it’s the only one that holds my attention |
SteakByrnes
05.14.18 | I just don't think the guitar work or drum work is nearly as good as later albums, plus I prefer Jake as a vocalist |
splinter
05.14.18 | dissonant melodies = shit, raw production yeah its adam and it was 2005, no dumb clean vox ?? I guess you never listened the following albums, "annoying genre-roulette transitions" these are actually pretty cool & "average hardcore frontman".. wow tell me anyone who sounds like Jake? He sounds so good and his voice is unique. You actually proofed that ur knowledge about this genre is just not existent lol. no offense. |
KenboSlice
05.14.18 | Jake is a great vocalist and Thrill Seeker is honestly boring. Everything from Constellations on is more varied and interesting. |
SteakByrnes
05.14.18 | oof |
Space Jester
05.14.18 | “Dissonant melodies = shit”
Actually it’s a matter of preference but I’m not surprised you don’t like them, they are harder to appreciate than consonant melodies for most people
“no dumb clean vox ?? I guess you never listened the following albums”
I have, Leveler has at least one spot of clean vox that are pretty bland and boring. It’s a minor thing but I brought it up anyway
“[genre-roulette transitions] are actually pretty cool”
It’s fine if you get something out of them but I find them gimmicky and boring
“wow tell me anyone who sounds like Jake? He sounds so good and his voice is unique”
He’s not horrible but overall I find him pretty standard in hardcore, and if you want someone that sounds like him I’d say he sounds very similar to Stephen Keech from Haste the Day
“You actually proofed that ur knowledge about this genre is just not existent lol. no offense.”
I dunno sounds kinda like you were trying to offend me with that comment but I’m not really concerned about my hardcore cred |
Space Jester
05.14.18 | Kenbo I feel pretty much the opposite, I think they’ve only gotten more boring with time. Jake isn’t bad but I wouldn’t say he’s one of the best or anything, I liked Josh McManness a lot more |
KenboSlice
05.14.18 | Spoken like a true scene kid. They're still heavy and have breakdowns, and even JB has said Thrill Seeker and Messengers aren't well written at all. |
splinter
05.14.18 | "Actually it’s a matter of preference but I’m not surprised you don’t like them because they take more effort to appreciate"
idk what should be good in feeling indisposed, at least I feel like this when I hear melodies like this
"I have, Leveler has at least one spot of clean vox that are pretty bland and boring. It’s a minor thing but I brought it up anyway"
Yeah they have maybe some songs with clean vocals.. like almost every other melodic metalcore band.. as example: Misery Signals & Counterparts are hyped as fuck on sput, they're also using cleans here and there. I don't know whats wrong in it, singing is a element of music and even of metal music. Just because Jacob Bannon thought it's cool to scream like a dying pig doesn't mean that everyone has to follow his path of "true metalcore" whats btw more hardcore punk / mathcore but lets not start a genre war.
"He’s not horrible but overall I find him pretty standard in hardcore, and if you want someone that sounds like him I’d say he sounds very similar to Stephen Keech from Haste the Day"
They sometimes use the same style, voices sound different imo
"I dunno sounds kinda like you were trying to offend me bro but I’m not really concerned about my hardcore cred "
still no offense, just can't comprehend

Not sure what I said that would correlate me with being a scene kid but sure lol. I don’t care what JB’s opinions of his own albums are because artists almost never feel the same way about their music as the fans do, and I don’t see how Thrill Seeker is poorly written |
Space Jester
05.14.18 | Splinter it’s fine if you don’t prefer dissonant melodies but I enjoy the tension they can provide to a song. As for clean vox, I don’t really enjoy them in metalcore most of the time, even from a band I enjoy like Misery Signals. It’s just rarely executed in a way that I don’t find cheesy so it’s usually not for
Guess I’m alone on this but I genuinely love Thrill Seeker and I’m just sad that none of their following works did anything for me like that one does.

osmark86
05.15.18 | I'm sure their newer albums post-Leveler are decent enough but couldn't really give a rat's ass about finding out either. if I listen to metalcore these days, which happens, it's only out of nostalgia ^^ |
