Hell yeah. Messengers meets R&R.

Hope it's the worst song on the album, that way the album will be amazing.

great song

I like the song, but not as much as most stuff on R&R... Still better than Fault Line

Fault Line was one of the best songs on R&R wtf?

not as good as anything on R&R

Niceeee. Old ABR would have tossed a breakdown in after that "it's what we deserve" build-up. Love that they saved it for the end

you people need to raise your bar of standards

this is a song by the metalcore band august burns red

'unleash'

i feel like this will end up not being as good as rescue and restore, but better than leveler. hopefully i'm wrong and it's better than both

"it just doesn't bring that signature abr feel "

how does it not

unleash

lol people complaining for not enough breakdowns, hope they go full riffs no breakdowns tbh

smae

Solid.

unleash [3]

song is meh tbh imo

unleash [3]

song is meh tbh imo

They did the same thing with r&r, they released the first single which was fault line, the weakest track off the album, and then a week later or whatever they released spirit breaker which was one of the best. Same will happen here more than likely.
Song still ruled though.

can appreciate this song going harder corererer than their other stuff, but still too many chugs and silly low growls. The vocalist has a great high shriek, I want to hear that hopeless shit more, not the trve hxc death growls which don't fit the music IMO.

lame. could be as worse or worser than leveler

Yep, sounds like August Burns Red

remember when ABR wrote songs like Dethklok's


o wait

I see a growing trend. I really liked R&R but felt mixed about their first single "Fault Line". I feel about the same here, but I'm sure that just because they're leaving the best for last like always. I can say that I like hearing that old "pseudo-death metal" sound come back from Messengers. Here's hoping for the best!

Good song, sounds like ABR

"for instance that very first breakdown lasts like 10 seconds and its awesome , but they could of thrown one or two more in towards the end. idk "

jesus christ, you actually want them to overuse breakdowns and become generic? I've never heard someone say less breakdowns is worse.

Anyway, song ruled and shows promise for the new record.

u guys are wack

Its very easy to overuse breakdowns, less is more .

cool track, jake is fucking awesome as always

I hate people who think ABR should play more breakdowns and go back to their Messengers sound. New ABR is way better than old ABR.

^except for Leveler, other than that I agree

they should just remaster thrill seeker

best most punishing.. that moment when you dont know what youre talking about

thrill seeker is their most boring release...

nah, that's Leveler

yep, pretty damn good. I love R&R so Ill be interested to see how this album compares.

Thrill Seeker is their most boring release tho. Leveler has way better songs than it does.

x2.

Great stuff will not miss them on warped

disregarded your opinion if u listen to bad bands srs. Remastered thriller seeker >

your little suburbia, consumer, and endorphins are still better than most of the rest of their material

band is alright at what they do

"when have they ever had generic breakdowns?

never it's fucking ABR the king of the breakdown.
imo they could've thrown at least one in that lasted longer than 8 seconds. "

Uh, how about every single breakdown they do? Seriously, they know when to place them but ABR's breakdowns are exactly the same each and every time. The only difference is the lead guitar riffage you hear being played over the breakdown. King of breakdown is also incredibly stupid to give to a band because that's honoring them for something that is a genre cliche at this point. Also asking them to use more of them is exactly why metalcore sucks these days too. Breakdowns are so fucking overused and the less you use them and the more sparingly, the better the overall outcome will be. It's exactly why bands like Botch/Converge/TDEP are so highly regarded because when they use a breakdown it's not just as a placeholder but actually builds upon the song.

"Unleash" is pretty accurate, this is some aggressive shit indeed.

With that said, the song is pretty safe but def enjoyable.

You're seriously fucking stupid, dude.

only in sputnik smh

"Botch/Converge/TDEP==== overrated noise bs no matter how influential "

You know how ignorant it is to say this? You wouldn't have so many metalcore bands if it wasn't for these guys laying down the foundation. Unfortunately, the genre has basically gone to shit.

"all i see is blah blah blah ^^
I'm too elite for breakdowns blah blah bullshit "

I.e. I dont have an intelligent response to your comment so im going to act like a child

I should've seen that dumbass retort coming from him a mile away though. I mean his overall taste proves he doesn't give a fuck about the music as long as there's a breakdown anywhere and everywhere. I like a good breakdown myself but to use them everywhere isn't crafting anything special and literally every fucking band does it these days too.

tresm87 you gotta be the biggest troll i have ever seen lululul. botch/converge/TDEP overrated? What are you.. the hipster of metal? I never commented on this site before but after reading that statement i just couldnt resist! song was dope btw

"Botch/Converge/TDEP==== overrated noise bs"

confirmed babby. ABR just hits that edge ceiling for you? Anything with any more substance gonna confuse the shit out of you? Those three bands popularized what ABR is built upon, except they don't need to rely solely on simple chord progressions, soulless noodling and melodies, or breakdowns to write a song. Sure, they pop up here and there throughout a discography, but they aren't beating a dead dolphin spitting out mix-n-match cue cards to write a song.

^ This guy is pissed lololol. Also, learn to use commas correctly pleb.

Edit: I meant FearThyEvil.

Madmikelove hit the nail on the fucking head and lol hyndez is my good friend who just couldn't resist like he said.

Paincake ,grammar nazi confirmed. read the context of the message next time, pencil pusher,,,,,,%$%^$#$ < does all that wrong punctuation bother you? Well said mike

At least Botch never pulled the whole, "we don't know what to do next so let's just keep switching between double time and half-time beats."

Oh, let's just attack the grammar and not the context within the statement he's making. This is the second time you're dodging something because you don't have an intelligent enough retort to explain why you enjoy this type of music. I wouldn't come at you tresm87 if you weren't so ignorant about what you're saying. I can get if you don't like Converge and whatnot, but to come out and call them overrated and useless is downright stupid.

Nah it's just funny cause Fear is defending his favrit bands lol. To him all of us SHOULD BE random fucks on the internet. Their opinions shouldn't cause shedding of tears.

since when was it wrong to have your favorite band the most played on your profile lol? you are just fishing for an argument now. Your statement about converge, botch, etc was just stupid. that is all dont worry.

Where the fuck did you get any of that from? If you read on earlier I even said I like abr and stated that this song is pretty good. I'm not defending my favorite bands here but more saying that they contributed nothing to this genre is pointless when ABR would be nothing without them. It goes for every genre that has influential bands who lay the ground work down. If you don't like them fine but at least understand their influence and why they are so highly regarded. As much as I love Abr I don't think 10-15 years down the road they'll be considered classics and influential as said bands before them.

"your top played band is fucking tool. i guess the band name goes along with what you are. "

I don't like tool either, but that was probably the stupidest most idiot drivel I've ever fucking read.

paincake complains about punctuation... wtf is favrit LOL?

Dunning–Kruger effect

Im pretty sure abr would admit theyve been influnced by the bands in the genre that came before them

"your top played band is fucking tool. i guess the band name goes along with what you are."

Two things you might want to take into consideration are this. If an earlier comment you're making someone look stupid for grammar you might want to spell you're correctly in the right context. Two, what does Tool have ANYTHING to do with this argument at all. Third time now you dance around the subject.

When the fuck did sputnik start clamoring for more breakdowns jesus christ. I like this song. I like R&R. Leveler was cool. It's fucking metalcore played by people that don't suck at their instruments. Shut up and just fucking jam it.

I didn't complain man, I was trying to troll Fear, I guess I failed =(

PREACH COMATORIUM !! *headbobs away*

ITT: people arguing about people having opinions, keyboard defenders, and tears.

well...

this discussion escalated quickly

"btw where did i misuse your or you're

lol this is just getting infantile now"

Well, I can't deny I was wrong there. I completely misread the way you used your which made me think you used it wrong.

Lol tresm87, that was beautiful

if this is the same news poster that made that last "whatever band UNLEASHES new single" fucking stop posting news articles forever plz

you two are definitely in cahoots or something.

Honestly, if you said that from the start I would've never said shit. I enjoy messengers but I never like when bands put too many breakdowns in because it feels like it's done with no purpose. That's why constellations are R & R have been my favorite from them by far. Leveler could have been great but the production alone killed it.

I remember when I was young on this site I got lots of shit for stupid shit I said too it's chill.

"Fault Line was one of the best songs on R&R wtf?"

It was easily the worst. I liked it but every other track was definitely a cut above it.

"Hope it's the worst song on the album, that way the album will be amazing."

This

"Hope it's the worst song on the album, that way the album will be amazing."

Seriously though.

The build-up in this song is the titties. The entire middle section up through the "It's what we deserve," starting with that dank riff.

Really wish they actually had thrown in a killer breakdown after the build though. Wouldn't have minded that they didn't, but they repeated a section from earlier in the song that just wasn't good. The whole "struggling to breathe..." section threw me off a bit tbh. But the mid-section is so good it made up for it.

pretty good. sounds like typical ABR

hellll yea, I'm ready for another great albummmmmm

"well it's a good thing i honestly could care less"

oh you could care less? tresm87 shut the fuck up for your own sake lmao you fuckin newborn

Jesus Christ, can we put tresm87 on like a one post a day limit or something?

"really wish they actually had thrown in a killer breakdown after the build though. Wouldn't have minded that they didn't, but they repeated a section from earlier in the song that just wasn't good."

Right? That build was so fucking good. They didn't have to use a breakdown but the fact that they just repeated that previous section was very underwhelming. Still really dig this song though.

Unleash? O RLY?

the solo was cool

Solid song

that was fucking boring

it isn't my favourite

average song

I haven't heard anything from these guys since Messengers and this basically sounds the exact same from what I remember.

Seems like some of the songs will be more then 5 minutes long, and I saw some pictures of piano recordings and stuff... I hope they use it well, cause I love longer songs!

Decent. Am I the only person who enjoyed Constellations more than the last two albums?

Pretty terrible.

Jfc this thread got bad. The only plebs here are the ones that don't think thrill seeker is the best thing this band has ever done

"Am I the only person who enjoyed Constellations more than the last two albums?"

while I didn't necessarily you're far from the only one who digs constellations that hard

Song gets even more meh the more I listen to it.

Its alright, but I ain't been crazy on them since Constellations. Lyric videos need to stop tho.

"Stupendous material really. You guys been doing Internet comment Comedy long?

I see so much potential."

For a second I tried to deal with the fact that you're probably pretty young, and just let that go. But you just keep being a toolbag. Quit it, and maybe people would respect you more.

Nothings really wrong with this but its kinda boring.

damn this is really heavy. nothing really shines on it tho

Not bad, song doesn't really go anywhere though.

Sounds like it could be off Leveler, pretty solid

flood drown the earth

MORE BREAKDOWNS ???? bitches be crazy

people are not only defending thrill seeker, but calling it their best? goodness gracious.

Love the lyrics. Super biblical

Heavy. I like it, but it's a little bland compared to songs on R&R. Also, who's asking for more breakdowns? Psh.

lol you
