Wtf they released an album last year? The last I heard them was an EP, it was solid.

Go listen, the consensus is it's weaker than what came before but it's a very solid album.

Whenever Spiritbox release something new, I can be sure it's great even before listening. Gorgeous song. And beautiful video as well.

Every song by this band sounds the exact same zzz

Their last single was all screams, this one is all cleans. But ok lol

Oh look, Spiritbox still chasing every popular music trend trying to stay relevant. Music industry (Le)plant garbage

Hmm, yes, being popular is bad and automatically makes you an industry plant. And getting along with trends is inherently bad, totally.

The most inoffensive popcore song in the history of popcore

@artiswar they got a few heavy songs, but 95% of their stuff is this popcore trite garbage

@verdr IDK mate, almost every song of theirs I've heard she's screaming her head off .. the softer songs are the outliers.

But alas this is one of those bands that makes the "true metalheads" rabid for whatever reason. Probably because SB achieved 100x the reach in a fraction of the time vs their favourite niche blackened techdeath pornogrind pigsquealcore band that attracts 150 annual listeners.

Some people also seem like those death metal fans hating on deathcore for desecrating their favourite genre except it's metalcore fans hating on popcore.

shittiest fuckin dog shit turd poser band

Song doesn't really grab me but that video is gorgeous.

best djent album is still Periphery II, call me when bands decide to do something like that ever again (highly doubtful)

Yes, it´s quite funny to me why this band seems to irritate some people so much.

I´m not gonna sit here and say they're the state of the art in their genre, but there's a 100 more mediocre bands in that genre (and often a lot more pretentious) that get less shit from metal gatekeepers. And it's not like at least 3 of it's members haven't been paying their dues and doing this for years.

Yeah, I agree. They don't really "transcend" the genre but I think they're talented and are a pretty good barometer of where mainstream metal is right now. They're leagues above other ass bands like BMTH, Bad Omens, Sleep Token, Ice Nine Kills, Falling in Reverse, or even Architects at this point and it's funny to see people get so triggered over them when their sound is so uncontroversial.

Kusangii nailed it. They’re a poser band constantly chasing whatever music trend is popular and being pushed as some ground breaking band yet they copy everyone else.

Bad band yea

song isnt bad, theyve done worse

Song is good

Amusing how much this band pisses some of you off lol

that's one of the other things, the band is so painfully inoffensive, they do nothing to move the needle in any which way, just utter ungodly boringness

They did make music I don’t like. Thats pretty offensive

Song is ok but it's no Constance

inoffensive band [2]

@OwMySnauze My comment was a copy pasta but it also wasn't 100% ironic

First EP is their only good work, rest is just a chugfest

some good song on the first LP, and Ultraviolet EP was solid, but since Tsunami Sea I don't care about this band at all.

Their early EPs were great until they signed to Rise. Went downhill from there

This 1000%

This kinda music is really popular right now with the kids so they’re making a ton of money, not really surprising to see them continue to get poppier

Knowing them, the next single is gonna be screams. Wouldn't mind more melodic music from them though, not everything needs to be a Cellar Door or Soft Spine.

Inoffensive easy listening song. They arent my thing, i tried them not going to bother getting annoyed by them when thid years as good as it is musically

"They arent my thing, i tried them not going to bother getting annoyed by them when thid years as good as it is musically" [2]
Loved the first EP though

shallow and pedantic

Black metal fan's saying "every song sounds the same" always gets a laugh out of me.

you have president's discog rated 3.5 and above i don't wanna hear it

You know you hurt someone's feelings when they look at your ratings lol

I don't really have strong feelings about this band one way or the other but I do enjoy the popcorn-fest every thread about them turns into lol

Wish y'all would keep this energy with actual garbage bands like Knocked Loose

ok now we have SHOTS FIRED

My shots have been fired in the Knocked Loose threads but they are also kind of good/better than this band

Don't even get me started, I clown on KL like I clown on Sylvester Stallone and there's a ton of easy targets there lol

I really hope my popcorn music thing kicks off tbh

Knocked loose is pretty boring to me but oh well

Ay yo Adrian, get me the large TUB ADRIAN THIS SPIRITBOX SHIT DOESN'T HAVE ANY BLEGHS AND SUGGESTIVE VIOLENCE YO ADRIAN

"You know you hurt someone's feelings when they look at your ratings lol"

yes I'm very well known for listening to black metal

knocked loose is worse I'll give you that

Is black metal not cool anymore ;-;

the drums don't really change from the verse into the chorus so the chorus doesn't even hit like it should. It all just kinda keeps going.

"Is black metal not cool anymore ;-;"

Was it ever?

Mike went from a truly interesting guitarist to writing the most boring and samey riffs in the genre over and over. I'll always enjoy listening to Courtney sing in a basic background noise sort of way, but I do wish they'd actually put in a little effort, because we know they can write cool stuff when they try.

I do wonder about that. They seem to take more and more stabs at true mainstream appeal, trying to find a single that will break them through to the next level of fame. Which is fine I guess, but it is weird when you consider how much proggier and technical the earlier stuff was. This song is good but so minimalistic and almost feels unfinished. It is nice to hear Josh get some background vocals in though

I'll do say that they have never achieved the level of interest that their 1st EPs had, so the ability is definitely there. But I was listening to this song and thinking "man, I guess getting 3 grammy nominations and never winning has made them obsessed with hitting that one track that will finally get them over the line".

“Wish y'all would keep this energy with actual garbage bands like Knocked Loose”

I’ve been anti that band since their very first EP, but I’ve also tried to make an honest effort to not rain on the collective parade of people who seem to love them on here in every thread. But also, both bands aren’t my thing at all

I couldn't be much more ambivalent about this band. Polished anodyne modern metal with a balance of melody and groove. It's fine, but I have no desire to listen to them.

new fuckin singy eh

It's a head to head race for most inoffensive between these guys and new Insomnium.

It must be so exhausting basing your entire personality around whether something is popular or not.

Catchy enough I guess but probably wont revisit this one.
