Sounds like more of the same, but their first album was a guilty pleasure of mine, so I'm happeh. c:

I think it's great. Sure, at least so far it doesn't seem like they've musically progressed, but I didn't mind their first album at all. I also love how this is a sequel song to "YDG?!" (my favorite song from them). I mean, the chorus uses the same chord progression and a slightly different vocal line compared to the first.

I can't believe I paused "Xanadu" to listen to that

I don't know it sounds really similar to everything they've done. I would've loved this about a year ago when I liked genericore, but that has grown off me and it just sounds redundant.

I enjoy it. Nothing ground breaking, but I don't ever expect OM&M to do anything groundbreaking. It's good for what it is.

i think 'genericore' is used by people who actually like this type of shitty music but feel pressured to pretend they don't

i mean it's generic, and it's metalcore, but you sound like such a huge tool if you say stuff like "I would've loved this about a year ago when I liked genericore, but that has grown off me and it just sounds redundant" because a) you knew EXACTLY what this song would sound like b) you're definitely going to download the CD anyway c) whatever you think you've moved on to is probably just as generic in its own subgenre

Well said academy. I was gonna type something like this, but I scrolled down and saw this well put comment.

I actually see your point now, and looking back that was a pretty toolish comment. fuck i'm becoming more and more of an elitist these days. Still think the song is average though.

I don't like Shayley on this song at all and he was so great on the last album! Austin, do I even have to say anything about him? Back and better then ever with his unique never-ending screams. Hopefully I actually get to see him at warped this year! Can't wait for this album!

sure their instruments are generic, but it flows so well so much better then most other "generic bands" and their screamer is anything but generic, one of the first (if not the first) to scream the way he does

this song isn't good so stop it.

if you want to hear listenable genericore listen to Memphis May Fire's new album.

Solid, that's about it. They are good live, and it's not my preferred genre of music. And it's not really doing anything new. But oh well. Good stuff.

Listened to the song right now. Though it did follow the generic metalcore formula, I found it more enjoyable than other metalcore bands. Solid song, might check out the band.

WAT
Generic band makes a generic album, then they make a generic new song!?!?!?!?! FUCK LETS BITCH!!!

Actually, Austin's vocals are good, and thats all OM&M really ever was. A back-up band to showcase
Austin, kind of similar to Emarosa and Jonny Craiig, although Emarosa are good at their instruments.

Edit: Just listened to the song. Was actually catchy instrumentally. Nothing spectacular. Vocals are
somehow better then before without sounding any different.

It's catchy as hell, which is probably why I like so much. Really though, it's breakdown, after breakdown, after breakdown. Over and over again. They need to expand, because critically, they're getting worse every breakdown at a time.

Personally though, I love it.

Austin is pretty good but he never improves. I'm always looking for him to expand his range or do SOMETHING different from record to record, but he never changes. I mean don't get me wrong, he's good; I just want something different after awhile rather than just a one tone high pitched scream for like thirty songs.
