It's a BFMV song, the lyrics were always gonna suck. I think by this point everyone's acknowledged that and blanks them out, it just depends on what the music's like.

Also Austin Dickinson from As Lions/ex-Rise to Remain is gonna be a guest on one song.

Sounds like a lot like their first album which is good news - that was the only time they were decent

I did like the song though. Scream Aim Fire was awesome but after this these guys just fell on their asses.

I don't even think this song is that bad, it's just the band's sound has really not dated well.

Forgot this band existed. Freshman me would be super stoked about this song, glad they realized the whole hair metal thing was a terrible idea in every way.

You think this sounds dated? Go back to 2001 with this new release from Hasta La Muerte. Complete with downtuned guitars, effects, rapping, video featuring lots of beer and scantily clad ladies and a drummer in a Dying Fetus shirt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8I3DCIad-8

I can't believe they're still making music. I think the song is pretty enjoyable, but I'm sick to death of lyric videos. Plus, the v and the snake totally reminds me of the Victoria's Secret logo lmao!

I thought this was going to be like Scream Aim Fire. I absolutely hated that album. This isn't great, but it isn't so terrible that I wouldn't listen to it again.

I dig this band's first album. I also think this band has been an abomination since Scream Aim Fire.

My perspective on this song is that it's great. Excellent even. I listened with negative expectations and kept waiting to cringe. To my surprise the scoffs never came and the song even defied my expectations. One song alone won't convince me that the album won't be crap, but at least now there's hope.

Some people will never get past this band's negative stigma and listen to the music for what it is. If you ignore the hate, you'll see this is a well crafted song with abnormally good guitar work (for them) and a catchy chorus.

I misread 'Welsh metalcore group' as 'White metal group'. The article would be better with the latter.

"I kinda enjoyed their debut waaaaay back, but that's it really. This new song is horrible, especially with those lyrics clearly aimed at insecure angsty teens"

are you implying that poison's lyrics weren't aimed at insecure angsty teens?

no, you're right about that. kinda realized that after posting. I guess the main difference would be the variation in musical quality.

they just never matured with their original fan base, they keep appealing to angsty "depressed" 15 year olds and anyone who was around for The Poison is ten years older now.

Lyrics are basically not saying anything. They are just there so something can be sung. Solo is boring, chorus is ok. But it feels like the pre-chorus doesn't fit at all and really destroys the transition from verse to refrain. Not expecting anything from these guys since Temper Temper.

Pretty much anything they'd release after the abomination that was Temper Temper would be praised.

So, this song is bad, but it's great when held in comparison to that awful album.

Stopped listening to them about the time they released fever, they've been on a steady downward curve their whole career. Song's not exactly great but seems to indicate a renewed vitality on the part of the band- lyrics are standard fare for bullet, but this is a definite step up from the garbage found on the last couple albums.

5/10. Matt Tuck needs to start writing lyrics and tone the fuck down on those layers on his voice. He might as well use auto-tune at this point

Sounds just like something of Poison. I'd like it for nostaglia's sake but on it's own it's pretty generic metalcore. Still, way better than pretty much anything they've done since Poison

I can forgive the craptastic lyricism 'cause this track's actually not all that shabby; calling the song generic is putting it a bit nicely, but I've heard much worse from Temper Temper (and by extension, Fever).
