BAND HASN'T BEEN GOOD SINCE THEIR DEBUT AND EVEN THAT WAS A PIECE OF SHIT

Sprinklings of neat ideas are all over this but they're buried under a heap of what sounds
like a tiktok artist trying to emulate modern bmth. Headache-inducing amount of obnoxious
synths, man Jordan Fish can't be gone sooner.
Amen is the only good track start to end, which is a shame because when Oli is going sicko
mode and screaming his lungs out and doing lows he sounds fantastic

Sputnik is rough on this band. This is pretty
good. All over the place yet it all fits well
together. This is really well written.
n/A is different and cheesy until you realize
it's really good. Awesome bridge.
youtopia seems strange as an opener but damn,
what a great chorus. Great vocal performance.
Lots of other highlights, limousine, a bullet
w/my name on, rip, amen, dig it

As someone who was very skeptical of how this would turn out...I'm completely floored. I understand where other peoples' complaints are coming from, but I absolutely LOVE the flow of this thing. I never would've thought such an auditory clusterf**k like this would work so well. This is a contender for AOTY in my book.

Horrible production and the kind of late 90s/00s nostalgia bait that makes even me cringe. Couple of good ideas here,
but it?s mostly incoherent slop.

This is edgy radio fodder music.Anything that may be good here is
buried beneath layers and layers of glitchy nonesense and chaos.
Also what is the actual mix with this ??? Its bizzare

I've never really been a fan of this band. At best, they were unremarkable but catchy. This release caught me off guard, however. I like the electronics, the catchiness, the bouts of dissonance, and the messy unpredictabilty of most the songs. It may get old fast, but for now I'm enjoying it.

zzzzZZZZZZzzzz. It's like BMTH was bought by a private equity firm that owns an assortment of pop acts and decided to start selling genre smoothies.

Every "rock" song here is almost good, it's so overproduced yet banking on nostalgia.. the random shorter tracks feel completely out of place and don't add anything to the album
Darkside is still probably the best cut in this and they've managed to get Glassjaw and Underoath to feature which are highlights in their respective tracks but can't really save them. Limousine is a decent Deftones worship with a sprinkle of the Dune soundtrack for extra randomness

It took them 8 years to put out a good album but they finally did. Except "Strangers" and "Die4u", it's a pretty solid album.

I haven't cared about this band since 2010, and I thought amo and That's The Spirit were incredibly boring, so I was not expecting this album to be so much damn fun. The mish mash of genres here just works so well for me, combining hyper pop with metalcore and grungy alt metal. It's like BMTH had a baby with underscores and Deftones. This album is 55 minutes long, but the variety keeps it so engaging. It almost feels more like listening to a playlist as opposed to a cohesive album, which I think was an intentional move to capture the attention of todays society of instant gratification induced brain death. I admit, there's some stinkers on this album. In particular I don't looove the way this band does it's Deftones rip off as it feels more like an unoriginal imitation than a fresh spin. Loathe does that type of stuff so much better. Some of the straight up pop songs were a bit lackluster as well, but when the band hits that sweet spot mixing chaotic blasts of electronic pop with metalcore, it just lights up all the right neurons in my brain. I can see why so many people despise this shit, but I think not being a BMTH fan prior, and thus having zero expectations of what they should or should not sound like really made it easy for me to get into this.

Unironically gave this a one before I even listened to it since I thought I'd hate it like with Amo and Survival Horror but this is actually quite good! liMOusIne is just a moodring/deftones ripoff (like the riff is almost the same as the opening of SYNC.wav by Moodring), but its still good. Some of the vocal effects/synths are NOT it, but they still get the job done. TLDR: It had some issues, but it's much better than I though it would be.

I don't.......hate this? Objectively it's pure sugary trash, but it really tickles that mid-2000s emocore spot. I'm a sucker for this kind of garbage because it's what I grew up on, so...grain of salt, yada yada. IF NOTHING ELSE this kicks the shit out anything Silverstein have done for the last decade.

May 24th 2024: An alternative turned mainstream act release their 7th album, that is intended to be a multi-genre spanning concept album, but instead ends up being mostly inoffensive background music.

I have been a pretty large fan of BMTH music since their revolutionary metalcore output on ?Sempiternal? in 2013. From there, the band has continued to change and adapt their sound into various other avenues. However, on the band?s seventh full length album ?Post Human: NeX GEn?, this might be the first time that Oli and the gang really don?t know what they want. The album definitely fits into the modern alternative metal trend, but it also tries to fit into a lot of other lanes with the heavy use of electronics. In many ways, this album sounds as awkward as you think it would be, which isn?t new for the band. But I really believe this is the first time the band has just lost and not knowing how to stay modern. Normally the band is the innovators of modern metal, but here we see them stumble through so many ideas of other artists. Definitely not their best, but I hope they can build into something stronger in the future.

Like every other thing this band has made after their initial deathcore era (except half of That's The Spirit), NeX GEn is an energetic and sonically interesting album, that's unfortunately marred by juvenile lyrics conveying blanket sentiments that reek of a lack of life experience, willful ignorance, or a ghostwriter that's making the band be stupid on purpose to cater faux rebellion to a young audience. I'm not sure which of those is what's getting under my skin, but it is an everpresent constant that is impossible to ignore, solely because of how fake it feels. But ultimately, the album sounds good, even when it doesn't. Every overcompressed riff manages to fit within the context of its song, and sounds good. Every chorus, even if it sucks, invariably sounds good. Every spastic electronic segment that could've been produced better... sounds good. That's all there is to say about this album. It's fun, it sounds good, it could've sounded better, and it should've been written better.
