lol no one would care about the album title if it was a Radiohead album, instead it would be "oh wow maybe they'll adopt an aggressive style, can't wait!" also funny when people with awful taste (i.e. Pharoh) make comments about how bands like this suck

They seem to be trying to go darker/harder, interesting.

If Radiohead made this their album title I'd actually poke even MORE fun at them.

The truth: Their new songs are very generic. The only reason people are liking the new songs is because they sound more heavy metal.

NO CLEAN VOCALS.
NO SMALL ELECTRONICA BEATS IN THE BACKGROUND.

Bottom line is.. they drastically change their music style. A lot of people are going to miss it and others are going to praise it.

Well no one said it wasn't generic, it's just improvement.
Yes, there are still clean vocals, and yes, there still is synth in some songs

There just more heavier because the clean vocals are coming from Caleb but there really isn't any synth.. Just some old fashion piano. I kinda disagree on the improvement, yes they sound better but If you listen to their self titled album it's very well put together.

I don't understand all the hate for AA's self-titled, let's see you writing better songs with breakdowns and autotune choruses! That album is just fun as hell, even though I don't really listen to it anymore. It's actually one of the better "metalcore-with-synth-and-high-cleans" albums imo. I will listen to this one too, because I like Last Breath. But still, god, they couldn't have picked a worse album title.

I know.. the self titled is very well made, especially compared to the first album. But the new songs are really lacking the feel of their old music, if you listen to some of the songs off their old album you can hear a lot of synth beats and other elements that you don't hear in their new songs, which I think Johny Franck was behind all of that, because if you listen to Johny's new band "The March Ahead" it has alot of great music with all the synth beats and a mix of heavy metal.

The self titled was way overproduced, IMO. The songs they did with Feldman, however, sounded great, but the songs were poorly written.

Bottom line is, this album is gonna attract more AA fans(the same people who talks shit about them before this new album came out, because they were Post-Hardcore/Electronica) which will make hypocrites out of a lot of annoying people which I already despised in the first place.

I hope this one will be good. SCS and self-titled were fucking great albums. Yeah they weren't that complicated, but nobody said good music meant always meant putting complex time signatures and guitar wankage everywhere. I like their songs and style, no shame in liking them. The fact that they've kept going despite all that hate is admirable alone, and they're happy making music. I mean, isn't music all about having fun anyways?
