Also, be aware that this is first track on the album, so it's not necessarily an indication of the entire thing. I have a hunch that we'll be hearing some more post-metal type stuff, ala Meridian, on the rest of the album.

This is alright. The melody just doesn't do it for me, too watered down... This will probably be one of my least favorite track on the album.
But it's a'ight, the new song they played live sounds fucking rad. Hence why i'm not too worried.

You know, I was expecting more from them. It's great, but really, it would fit perfectly on Constellations. I was hoping they would push some new ground with this one. Who knows, maybe this single is a bad indication of the rest of the record. Hopefully.

"i remember hearing 'thirty and seven' and thinking meh.... album will most likely rule" [2]

"Dont fix what isnt broken." [2]

Thirty and Seven wasnt as good as the rest of the album either so not too worried. Also this band doesnt change which to me is what makes them so amazing. But they do progress I dont know what all of you are talking about. Meridian was way different than past stuff. Everyone has just been copying what other people post.

Also, I thought 1:42 ish was a bit different for them. with the sing-a-long part

This actually sounds a lot different from Constellations in my opinion. Not in structure or anything. It just sounds like a whole different atmosphere to me. Especially with the kids choir in the middle.

Interesting little melodic section. I get the feeling they've wanted to do a song like this for quite some time but haven't felt like they could get away with it until now.


That being said, the guitar solo is becoming a little cheesy now.

I find Meddler to be one of the worst tracks on Constellations... but whatever.

I want songs that are more progressive, like Marianas Trench and Meridian. Still stoked for this album, but after Constellations, my expectations are pretty high.

Also, the live videos of this song show none of them singing the whoa's. So I'm pretty sure they want that to be crowd led, but my point is I wouldn't worry about cleans.

If you can't tell the difference between metalcore like this and metalcore like Of Mice And Men then your speakers or ears must be broken.

Yeah, and i don't get how people can say this sounds like it could be off Constellations. Every song on Constellations sounds better and more aggressive than that. The riffs kind of have a pop-punk feeling. The whoa-whoa is ADTR-retarded, and so is the solo following.

---------------

They sound like different bands but they still both sound like the same type of generic metalcore. I just don't see how somebody could love one of these bands and hate the other. I guess my ears are broken because bands like those , memphis may fire, and others all sound the same. It seems like you should either love all of them or hate all of them.

I'm saying I think this sounds much like constellations but with some diverse aspects, and that it definitely sounds nothing like adtr. So how can people say its different from constellations and sounds like adtr? I mean I guess it boils down to opinion but neither is true to me. The only similarity made could be the gang vocals everyone is discussing and those by adtr, as stated, are cheesy poppy and stupid. These sound nothing like those.

I hate the shit all this band gets now. Sure, back in the Messengers days, they were bland and repetitive as hell, but Constellations really blew all of their other work out of the water, on both a technical and pure enjoyment level. They're extremely talented and definitely deserve more respect in the metal community.

Well, that was my two cents.
