07.18.13 | nah, not even close. Counterparts are extremely overrated on this site. |
Spec
07.18.13 | please tell me more |
FearThyEvil
07.18.13 | They're good don't get me wrong but they're praised for basically taking everything from Misery Signals. The vocalist sucks until this release actually and the instrumentation while good is not necessarily anything that hasn't been done before. |
loveisamixtape
07.18.13 | i'd be willing to bet Fear hasn't even listened to new counterparts
but yeah i agree even though i love them both equally |
Spec
07.18.13 | BRING IT AWN |
FearThyEvil
07.18.13 | I did listen to the new counterparts and I liked it but it's not worthy of the massive heap that's going on. I mean I saw so many 5's dropped on it even before it was released. |
Spec
07.18.13 | Pre-Ordered both albums regardless. Neither has arrived haha but I have the leaks so whatever. |

07.18.13 | @Fear so what if they took everything from MS, they made a better album, deal with it |
Skoop
07.18.13 | I agree I've never been able to get into Misery Signals even though I really like Counterparts so I haven't listened to Absent Light but TDBHAH is real good. |
loveisamixtape
07.18.13 | tdbhah destroys most melodic hardcore instrumentally imo
i wasn't seriously accusing you of not listening to it but to say that it's not even close to absent light is a little far haha |

Yeah, their are things called opinions where mine says Misery Signals did better. |
MosesMalone
07.18.13 | Eh Counterparts' newest is leagues better than most melodic hardcore/metalcore, but it doesn't even come close to Absent Light. |
Spec
07.18.13 | not enough electronic strings for you? |
wacknizzle
07.18.13 | Love new MS, never understood the huge appeal to Counterparts personally. |
loveisamixtape
07.18.13 | their new albums are pretty much two completely different genres of music... |
Trebor.
07.18.13 | "but they're praised for basically taking everything from Misery Signals."
Don't forget Shai Hulud and the UK melocore scene |
loveisamixtape
07.18.13 | granted, they both have the signature "melodic" parts and they both play in drop C
misery signals is waaaaay more metalcore than counterparts has ever tried to be |
wacknizzle
07.18.13 | They're both obviously way different, shouldn't even be compared. I was just saying I personally find Counterparts' sound boring. |
Spec
07.18.13 | If Counterparts are a giant Misery Signals rip-off then Misery Signals are a giant Shai Hulud rip off.
Bands take influence from other bands, get over it :] |
cvlts
07.18.13 | Counterparts is great but constantly in try-hard mode |
loveisamixtape
07.18.13 | @wack i wasn't really referring to you, haha |
wacknizzle
07.18.13 | Counterparts sound nothing like Misery Signals, I don't mean that in a bad way but seriously. |
Spec
07.18.13 | Way more on the hardcore side. |
EaglesBecomeVultures
07.18.13 | who cares |
anydaynow
07.18.13 | I like them both a lot. |
AmericnZero02
07.18.13 | I'm glad to hear people are digging the new counterparts record. I'll definitely be picking it up when it comes out on tuesday. the album artwork is pretty killer |
AfterTheBreakdown
07.19.13 | I like the new counterparts a little more than the new misery signals but I still think misery signals has a better discography. |
