Lol is this gonna be one of those bands that put out an okay album and then went to shit immediately?
|
| |
yeah this is incredibly boring
|
| |
Thought this was pretty great. Especially if this just ends up on a EP.
|
| |
Song is good but the drums are mixed way too loud
|
| |
I like their melodic side wayyyy better than their heavy side. the heavy parts are obnoxious as hell. Also what's with the mix?
|
| |
It was a little weird. Not bad, but still weird. I hope it's just an experimental track and they don't do too many things like that.
|
| |
I can't express enough how much I dislike the drum mix on this song. It is so fucking bad that it ruins the entire rest of the song for me. It's not just one thing, either. The cymbals are way too loud, it sounds like the head on the snare is broken, the kick is lifeless and lacks impact, and I could barely hear the toms.
ILIIAITE is one of my favorite albums of the last couple years and based on this and that garbage ambient album they dropped last year, I have very little hope for their future. Also, Connor was a major creative force behind some of their best songs, and his departure can clearly be felt here.
|
| |
this is good you guys are on some shit
|
| |
Yeah ILIIAITE was a huge surprise for me and I binged it for what felt like months straight. That ambient album didn't give me a lot of hope for the future.
|
| |
I mean it sounds like this isn’t part of a full LP, so the production quality on this isn’t a big deal imo. At least not in the sense that I’m worried about there being a drop in quality on the next LP
|
| |
Drum tone is pretty weird and jarring, but otherwise a great song. Love the last 2 minutes. Apparently we're already getting another jam on the 20th too!
|
| |
Sounds like an electronicacore song, I'm very not here for it. Damn shame.
|
| |
"Lol is this gonna be one of those bands that put out an okay album and then went to shit immediately?"
This is an old song so I wouldn't count them out just yet.
|
| |
I like the song but the mix is rough
|
| |
Interesting song, if a bit all over the place. The more melodic parts remind me of an underground Sacramento band called Eightfourseven.
|
| |
why do i like and hate this at the same time
|
| |
Because its a good song with a terrible mix.
|
| |
very fun tune tbh
|
| |
Song started bad, sounding like some shitty brostep track but it ended quite nicely
|
| |
This and another song dropping on the 20th are part of a collaborative project where they worked with different producers.
|
| |
Band is like the definition of throw shit at the wall to see what sticks at this point
|
| |
I don’t mind it, it’s probably my least favorite song of theirs yet (I don’t count the ambient album) and I didn’t think the heavy parts really fit.
|
| |
Reminds me of how Letlive dropped Fake History then The Blackest Beautiful with shoddy mixing
|
| |
Also their ambient album is my favourite thing they’ve done why can’t all of you drink the cool aid like me?
|
| |
am I just half asleep or does this flow far better than anything off I Let It Whatever?
still not great and sounds like shit (on this famously HQ youtube stream), but at least they mostly suck for the same reason Deftones are not great wow
|
| |
dude shut up
|
| |
Idk why, but this band does nothing for me. Tried I Let It In multiple times to see what the hype was about and it just never clicked.
|
| |
band is at their best on two way mirror/is it really you?/a sad cartoon
they clearly got lucky with those three songs and pretty much everything else is boring
|
| |
how did I KNOW johnny would say this is better than their old stuff lmao, predictable johnny !
|
| |
You ever check the cold sun Bandit?
Much more like typical Proggy metalcore than i let it in. East of eden slaps
|
| |
"band is at their best on two way mirror/is it really you?/a sad cartoon"
don't forget screaming
|
| |
"band is at their best on two way mirror/is it really you?/a sad cartoon"
You're not wrong, but their heavier shit is still kinda good too.
|
| |
Sorry, i don't listen to music with finger snapping in it
|
| |
wow that mix lmao. did they not listen to what they were recording before releasing this?
|
| |
I'll probably listen to this a second time to confirm that I didn't remember anything that happened in it and then never listen to it again.
|
| |
Yeah I've checked Cold Sun too. Idk man, something about these dudes just doesn't click. I don't quite understand why they were hyped to all hell lol.
|
| |
Huh, unpopular opinion, but I kind of like the mixing on this one.
it's the meat of the song itself that isn't jiving with me...I think the melodies fall flat, but that's just me.
|
| |
seriously nothing pisses me off more than what I think is supposed to be a melody, but my brain doesn't grasp it as a thing to find catchy or earworm-worthy, it's like blueballing me
|
| |
okay okay I don't mind this
|
| |
I do like it but the mix could be better fo sho
|
| |
@steekbyrnez don't get me wrong (or else!) this isn't as good as any of the good ~bits on the last one, and idk if it's "better" than anything, but at least it sounds like a song made by people who know what songs are??
still redeemable enough that imma have to dib their new alb *sigh*
ed. apparently the rest of the album is still being written? would love to be a fly on that wall lmao
|
| |
I would be enthralled to read another Johnny loathe review. Last one was a banger
|
| |
idk, I like the mixing. I like it all noisy and messy and how clipped the cymbals sound. it sounds intentional, but maybe I could just like bad mixing lol
|
| |
Great song tbh.
|
| |
This song is coming from a collaboration project, I’m guessing each track is going to be produced by someone different, or featuring someone new. So if you don’t like the mixing on this, it’s likely this will be the only track with that issue
|
| |
"Also, Connor was a major creative force behind some of their best songs, and his departure can clearly be felt here."
This song was actually written before he left.
|
| |
People on here were talking about how awful the new Mastodon mix was and I thought it was fine so I was expecting the same thing here but... yeah, this sounds weird. The drums sound like a midi kit and the whole thing is ridiculously claustrophobic feeling.
|
| |
I get a Crosses/Deftones vibe from this, like Self Titled Tones'. I'm for it, but will also echo the same about the mix being trash.
|
| |
took me a few listens but I love this, mix and all. That main riff is so fucking dirty.
|
| |
i wanted to like these guys so much more than i actually ended up liking them
theyre just kinda like... there u know
like bland sorta
|
| |
the drums are very obviously programmed
someone get these dudes superior drummer something
|
| |
I hear that ipad finger drumming app is pretty good
|
| |
I actually kinda dig the drum mix, it sounds intentional and surreal. Love the harmonies too. If anything, I'm actually not wild about some of the guitar tones.
|
| |
Oof really really disappointed with this. Also the drums really sound like a lot of those annoying Metalcore bands. Loathe didn't belong to those, but this has me worried
