that was fucking terrible

they're really committing to the nu metal thing huh

got the slipknotty song and now the softer one

They changed their already 'okay' sound to an even shittier sound

fucking hell man

$$$

oh god

The production sounds really hallow, it kinda doesn't work for nu-metal

R I S E R E C O R D S

Rise Records is quickly becoming cancer for metalcore bands

RR is where okay core bands go to die while making money.

the fact that of mice & men gets played on Octane and not Liquid Metal says a lot tbh

both stations are garbage for the record tho

Austin's clean voice has gotten better.
This is far better than Pain.
So far only 1/2 tracks on the record have been enjoyable.

they're just completely lost without shayley

Tbh their pseudo nu metal shit is better than the early works of austin with attack attack and better than the first album of this band which was generic and painful scenecore for pussies, still this is far from being outstanding

Tbh Nu metal rapes scenecore

was austin even in this song lmao

Linkin Park is that you?

linkin park rapes 24/7 scenecore bands like of mice and men. Besides this is more similar to three days grace

True but this sounds like a lifeless version of some Meteora/Hybrid Theory b-side demo

The verses in particular remind me of linkin park but I can see the Three Days Grace comparison for the chorus

Feels like forever is the one which is more similar to linkin

bland as shit, and I love this band a lot. Rise Records needs to die in a hole. Give Knuckle Puck to Hopeless and the rest of the core to Fearless. Please.

"was austin even in this song lmao"
Austin was the clean singer in this.

Who the fuck is even singing on this? Sounds like a totally diff person.

Band sounds really bored though.

I'm relatively sure that it's Austin. I could hear his clean voice going in this direction from tracks like Broken Generation and such.
If it's the other dude, then I'd be surprised because his tone changed completely.

I mean he's got a pretty nice voice either way, but nonetheless the track is very uninspiring

I enjoy his voice on this more than Aaron's honestly.
Austin's a damn talented vocalist; if they're going to stay consistent in this nu-metal direction, it might as well be Three Days Grace B-Sides like this but with better instrumentation.
If they do that combined with Austin's surprising clean vocal prowess, they might have something going.

I agree. Add in Austin's screams and some MUCH improved music and it could be decent.

Austin's screams have dissipated. I've seen recent live footage. He's lost his ability to even remotely do the tones he had on The Flood and the self titled.
I'd much rather them entirely drop the screams now, or have Aaron scream.

Austin is a talentless hack, he is a hype man these days. Adding his little screams in the background while Aarons kills it.
He is also a class A douchebag

Three Days Grace?

Honestly if they wanna sound like Linkin Park and Three Days Grace that's fine, those bands have made some good music and it's not like Of Mice & Men have to be heavy to be good, but this song is just meh. This sound has potential but its not really there yet.

Production is flat

i thought it just sounded like the same guy from last album but i zoned out from boredom really quick so yea

first single grew on me but this sucks

This band...

I liked this way, way more than Pain.

It wasn't bad, just really uninspired.

specore

Absolute snoozefest

Restoring Force was boring but this is just bad. Also what is Austin's role in this band now lol, clean vocalist #2? He was great on the first two albums but now he can't even scream so...

Honestly if the rest of the album is similar to this and not "Pain" I'll dig this.

This is ass.

That was awful

I didn't think this band could sound more like Linkin Park than before but there it is

Linkin Park is better than this.

This screams (or rather, doesn't) Three Days Grace. Restoring Force was dreadfully dull, somehow I think this is going to be worse. Their first two albums are some of my favourites, Shayley was the best part about the band tbh

I sorta liked it.


Sorry everyone

Their first two albums were fun metalcore releases, but once Shayley left they just became disgusting

Linkin Park is far, far, far, far, far, far, far ,far,far better than this, the lyrical work of mike rapes this shit, chester destroys austin carlile and even brad, dave, rob and joe are far better than the other musicians of Of mice and men. Linkin park rapes 24/7 generic scenecore,metalcore/posthardcore bands who are now trying to sound like nu metal groups of the late 90's and early 00's.

^^^ you need to go to trolling school, cause wow.

This is one of the most uninspired songs I've ever heard.

I loved Restoring Force even though it had it's shitty post-grunge moments but goddamn this sounds like an off-brand Three Days Grace song.

hopefully there will be a Coldworld feature on Cold World
