I guess i'll be the first one here to say album is gonna rule

holy piss yes

Kick ass song. I dont think i can handle this much awesomeness in one weekend.

so good. got my pre-order in last week, so stoked.

yessssfuckyessss

nice tie into travels with the 'forgiver forgetter' line

Song is gooood.

everything this band does is golden

well I thought they'd have a lot more synth by now

...and the forum collectively creams.

think i'll just wait for the whole album to listen, but from what everyone is saying I am stoked for this

At least listen to Dear Father for christ sake.

i did

oh goddammit SUCH A COCKTEASE

Holy jizz! best new song yet!

was alrite

pretty solid, but none of their bests

i agree with clash. its pretty good, but from the 3 tracks heard so far, i dont think this will top Lost Ground.

still really good though!

Fuckin' good.

2011 is like a flood of good music so far god damn.

i'm going to try to reserve judgement until i hear the album as a whole, but i'm not entirely won over this. i prefer dear father and i don't mind

This actually IS the Bullshit Sickness.
I love the tie-in to Travels it has.

I heard this yesterday it is damn good. Counting down the days till their album drops.

vocals sound a little more desperate.

think he changes his vocal tones for each character....it was most vibrant for travels, more monotonous for lost ground, and much more desperate for this

hmm, if thats what hes doing thats pretty fuckin cool.

hahah i hope it is because that makes him even more of a boss

The wait for this album is...

unwanted.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

you slutwhore.

AOTY, hands down

^ i dunno bout that

Defeater kill me.

Yeah this seriously didn't floor me.


Not bad by any means at all, still excellent. It's just my pants are inexplicably not shitted, that's all.

I'm thinking this and Manchester Orchestra will contend for aoty.

YEAR OF THE OSIRIS

AINT SEEN NO GERMANS FOR DAYS

I AINT NO FORGIVER FORGETTER!

song was pretty good.

So happy I preordered this, the book is going to be awesome.

Kick ass!

puttin this on repeat
hasn't gotten old yet
fucking hell the wait for this album has sucked so bad

Album needs to hurry up and leak.

Wow, this is going to be a really good album.

Song is growing on me for sure. Just pre-ordered, so excited.

$31 to pre-order though? Fuck that, I'll wait for the show.

I have a prediction for Defeater's next album after Sleepless Nights:

it will be desperate vocals over angry guitar and the concept will be about early 20th Century America.

Oh hey, did I get it right?

Not sure if I'm going to be able to make the show though. Fucking uni.

I thought you were going to the sydney one? which is on a saturday.

I'm closer to Newcastle so I was going to that, so I may or may not go to the Sydney show, not sure yet.

Hope I'll have the opportunity to see these guys once in Germany. That'd be awesome.
Song is kickass.

Ahh. Me and my friend are thinking, go to the Sydney gig and then roadtrip up to Newcastle. Good plan, no?

Sounds a great plan. Are you much of a fan of the band they're touring with, Miles Away? I've only had a quick listen to their stuff.

Their latest album is pretty damn solid although not top of the crop, but I'm not hugely keen on their older stuff.

The vocals are reminiscent of Amia Venera Landscape for me.
And I love their vocals, so hell yes.

I want

Going to see them in Nottingham in 6 days

Guys... this band is good, but there shouldn't be this much fap over it.

I'm glad someone with authority has cleared that up for us.

I am no authority, just stating my opinion.

First thing I have heard by them, and I like it alot.

Your opinion =/= fact. Yeah.

Opinions can be stated in fact form.

user wolfhorde has made the discovery that opinions aren't facts

congratulations wolfhorde

ALBUM LEAKED

Can't wait to give it a listen

it's everything i expected and more
just saying

omg mediafire needed

its just noise

shit band

got it

"congratulations wolfhorde"
Thanks for recognizing my greatness.

yeah i like this band and all but all the wanking over them is kinda killing them slightly for me.

EVERYONE ELSES OPINION ABOUT A BAND BUGS ME SO I DON'T LIKE THEM ANYMORE
your logic is incredible

lol yeah pretty retarded view of things

yea hes dumb

you guys sure are butthurt about that post hahaha
it just annoys me when people overhype things.

i'm butthurt about how much of a retard you seem to be

not 'butthurt', just feel a bit sorry for you

this is the one time when having to like a page to hear a song is completely fine with me.

half way in, new album slays hard

sites with the album leaked are crashing hahaha

its like a mix between travels and lost ground

did u dl an rar file? cause i can only do zip and as of now only rar type files are up

"EVERYONE ELSES OPINION ABOUT A BAND BUGS ME SO I DON'T LIKE THEM ANYMORE
your logic is incredible"
Maybe he's a she.

Dude, just get WinRAR.

just get winrar Narshh

halfway through and this is easily the best thing they've done so far

jhkl;asdasj ight for this band i will

just finished the album

ill give it another 3 listens before i rate but i think it might be the best thing they've released

Its amazing, I love how they ended the album with the acoustic tracks, but the hardcore section of the album is sooooooo good

i need to shower and do laundry but all i want to do is sit here and listen to defeater
DECISIONS DECISIONS

Fuck yes

uhh

kill

yeah it's seriously amazing

MORE

thats crazy talk

i'm thinking the cut off at the end of white oak doors might be intentional guys

like the end of sopranos

So Xeno how are you enjoying it?

no look at the lyrics
at that second the character's hit by a train
maybe i'm overanalyzing but this is blue balling me like hell =(

oh sheeit

I really want to pre-order the album now that I see it comes with that book, interesting.

the cut off white oaks is definitely not intentional....i think the copy of the album were getting isn't complete....based off the track list, what i just dl'd is missing EMPTY DAYS at the beginning and SLEEPLESS NIGHTS after white oaks...is it just me or is it like that for all of u?

........are you retarded or something

fucking awesome. so excited for it

@uhhkris um no lol... heres the tracklist
EMPTY DAYS
Warm Blood Rush
Dear Father
Waves Crash, Clouds Roll
Empty Glass
No Kind of Home
White Knuckles
Cemetery Walls
Quiet the Longing
At Peace
White Oak Doors
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
But Breathing
Brothers
I Don't Mind
Headstone
, all i asked was if u guys were missing EMPTY DAYS and SLEEPLESS NIGHTS also..

YEAH
THE HARDCORE SIDE IS CALLED EMPTY DAYS
THE ACOUSTIC SIDE IS CALLED SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
THERE ARE NO SONGS CALLED EMPTY DAYS OR SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
CATCH MY DRIFT?

o damn haha i gotcha now i guess i sounded retarded to someone who already knew that hahaha....now i can listen to the album for the first time w/o fearing that its incomplete

the acoustic side rules face

Album rules so far. Haven't gotten to the acoustic part of the album yet but I hope the songs are better than "I don't mind" which was lame.

They were ;)

i don't get the hate for i don't mind
i fucking love it

Album is really good so far but I'm nervous for when I get to White Oak Doors.

I think i might like this more then travels idk its just really gooood..

k so yeah this is fucking incredible.... did anyone get a version of White Oak Doors without the cut to silence at the end though? I can't imagine they'd leave it like that on purpose

pretty sure they did

wat...

holy fuck blueballed so hard

Hey, if anyone doesn't get this already, if you listen to the lyrics, it's obvious that this album is from the side of the brother that dies in Travels.

Just so you know.

Or rather, the one that the narrator kills in Travels

http://fuckyeahdefeater.tumblr.com/post/3408398620/empty-days-and-sleepless-nights-lyrics

There are the lyrics/story

holy fuckin shitt the brother had it even worse then the narrator from travels...this is amazing

'Quiet The Longing'...

His vocals remind me a bit of The Saddest Landscape in this.

i'm butthurt about how much of a retard you seem to be

not 'butthurt', just feel a bit sorry for you

i'll be the first to admit that i'm a HUGE FLAMING FANBOY
i'm just saying that letting other peoples love for an album affect your view is fucking retarded

im gonna get so flamed when i do the review for this

i'd love to see a negative review for this tbh

just to neg it so hard

nah you write good reviews and i wanna hear why you don't like it nearly as much as me

dont get me wrong, its sounds really good.

but the casual listener will most likely get really confused at the whole interlocking stories/themes on their albums

the lyrics arent even nothing to fap about tbh. just the story is kinda cool

Fuck the casual listener then? The band isn't aimed at them.

"the lyrics arent even nothing to fap about tbh."

double negative they totally are something to fap about js

i thought travels was excellent but it didnt make me jizz or anything. but EDSN has officially made Defeater one of my favorite bands now.

kicking over the hornets nest

fuck you faggot, if you dont like this gtfo. we dont take kindly to your kind round hur.

oh shit this leaked already?

uhhhh..

myyyyeeeesss.

aight will make final judgement by tomorrow

WE AWAIT THE VERDICT.

I'm not so much of a fanboy that I can't take criticism to the band, but it actually has to make sense. Criting them for having a continuous story is like saying The Two Towers is bad because it continues where The Fellowship left off.

dude lotr sucked so bad

That wasn't my point but k.

how did I not listen to this band before now holy shit

Fuck I was at work all day. Getting right noww.

Not disappointed in the slightest. Might end up being my favourite hardcore album.

The story just gets so much more tragic. And the ending to White Oak Doors....powerful stuff.

So, we've decided it's supposed to cut out like it does? Or has someone found a file which doesn't do that? It makes sense, but doesn't seem very well executed (so to speak) to me.

I'd say it's meant to end like that. And I thought it was really well done *shrug*

I could see this whole story making an excellent movie though. Albeit, end the movie just before the
little brother jumps. And then in the credits play I Don't Mind, and have Brothers as the opening
credits.

Only listened to album on YouTube so far, but sounds goddamn great.

The song was great and all, but it wasn't amazing.

NBODOY CARES ABOUT THE ONE SONG ANYMORE

i refuse to believe it's the real ending. it's done horribly. i will leave it at that.

album rapes otherwise

its done fine

hey guys look what i found

http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgygna1TYx1qakvn9o1_500.png

lol retards

at least we know it ends that way
fucking powerful stuff

headstone is unbelievable

I feel like Defeater just punched me in the dick in the best way possible.

Whole albums on youtube atm for those interested.

Listened to it 5 times already now. Only track I am not keen on is I don't mind, but the rest are excellent.

I really would like to hear someone justify a 2.5 or less for this album with a review tbh.

I don't really get the dislike for I Don't Mind...it's simple, because it represents the one moment in all of their albums where life was simple and calm and nice. And I find it beautiful, and tragic, for that.

Still getting this in March. Fuck a leak.

thinking about getting that t-shirt with the dock on it

so the first half of Empty Days is beyond amazing

don't spoil it son, dl is almost finished

I love the idea of the last track finishing suddenly, but it really could've been done better. Doesn't detract from the album though, which is amazin.

Exactly my thoughts edwin... I dont like the way it was executed either.

Not sure how else you can stop mid-word other than stopping mid-word.

Maybe they shouldn't have stopped mid-word then, because it just sounds like a glitch in the file. Oh well, never mind.

Album is REALLY good.Don't see how the last word getting cut off doesn't make sense, he gets hit by a train...

It makes perfect sense, but the way they did it is an awkward sounding way to end a song.

Yeah, true I guess they wanted to pull a last sopranos episode on it.

you don't know much then

"thinking about getting that t-shirt with the dock on it"

Do it! I just bought the long sleeve "No Hope" shirt.
