Weather was good but way too short and a bit over the place.

This is still too short but feels much more cohesive now.

Well this is a steaming pile of dogshit 

 

Band needs to quit already 

 

Bring on those downvotes from those who like shit music

Haha I need some pessimism before listening to it because man, I want to get stupidly hyped but those singles did nothing for me.

I feel like judging instruments is hard when the quality is poop. I'll wait to give my opinion when we get the 320. 

Oh whoops totally missed that. Yeah I'm interested in how the HQ version turns out

Not bad, but those drums leave something to be desired

Why is Debt "goofy"? Not sure I'm understanding here.

Everything from 1:12 on with the cheap soudning gun shots and knife fx just comes of like early 2000 samplecore stuff imo.

That first track can peg me anytime. Fucking love the nu-metalcore sound. Prod sounds kinda muddy and Debt doesn't really fit the rest, worst track too sadly, but still very enjoyable experience

I like the goofiness of Debt, but yeah it kind of ruins the really solid first half that doesn't match anything on the ep

I wasn't a huge fan of the singles so I'm glad most of the other songs aren't like them.

Then again, I think they're at their best when they throw in those Architect influences like in Creature of Habit. 

Eh it started off promising but then everything just kind of blended together by the halfway point and I kind of lost interest by the end.

Insanely good. Melodies in the chorus at like 1:45 are incredible. Perfect evolution from WTEB imo, though I have to wonder what they were talking about in that lengthy Facebook post about them being "different" when they came back. Perhaps they have some other stuff in store because this isn't all that different from everything they've done.

I thought I read this was the last song in their old style, kind of a send off. But I can't remember where I saw it. 

Ooh that opening was sick. Some real Burning Down vibes here. 

I feel like every release they become close to becoming The Wombats

Hot damn this hits the spot.

Mad that you don’t rate Rescue that much, it’s on the other end of the scale for me. Mine would probably be;

It's kind of funny because I liked the Transitions EP but somehow I memory holed it. I remember liking it (it wasn't I Am Alive levels) but it didn't stick for some reason. 

Also need to listen to more Dead Reflections. I liked the first half - the second was pretty mixed. 

1. Discovering the Waterfront (2005)

2. This Is How the Wind Shifts (2013)

3. When Broken Is Easily Fixed (2003)

4. A Shipwreck in the Sand (2009)

5. Short Songs (2012)

6. Arrivals & Departures (2007)

7. Dead Reflection (2017)

8. Rescue (2011)

9. I Am Alive in Everything I Touch (2015)

Fite me

(No joke, I constantly forget Rescue and I'm Alive exist)

Is it bad that I had never heard of these guys before? Time to check 'em out. 

They're good stuff but don't be too worried if it doesn't click immediately. I liked what they were doing on paper but none of their albums clicked until their previous one (When the End Began) came out. Then everything else fell into place .

Who asks for bands to do shit like this. WHO IS THIS FOR 

Judging by the artwork, they've clearly been in a cryo chamber since 2011 and now lost in this confusing, futuristic world, they cling to the one thing most familiar to them, which is obviously Justin Bieber

Eh, hoped they'd be able to solidify a sound but it's more of the same meh. 

I didn't mind the genre switchup, it's just been so bland. 

After their debut, I was a bit worried they'd slowly keep removing the rawness from the early EP's but hoo boy does this prove that wrong.

Wonder if it's the last song on the LP or not. 

Artwork is perfect. Was hoping it was more bubbly happy folk but I think I can dig this.

I feel like this band gets more hyped as their music is getting worse. The guilt and grief ep is still way better than their last album or these new singles. 

I'm still listening to Dichotomy lol

1. Holding Absence - Holding Absence

2. Dabin - Wild Youth

3. Northlane - Alien 

4. Dayseeker - Sleeptalk

5. Above & Beyond - Flow State

6. Diamond Construct - Diamond Construct

7. mol-74 - mol-74 

8. Owel - Paris

9. Counterparts - Nothing Left to Love
10. Capstan - Restless Heart, Keep Running

I listened to so many older albums this year (mainly The Midnight on repeat) I had to really remember what came out.

Most disappointing: blackbear - Anonymous 
Favorite EP: Palmist - Too Little, Too Late

Favorite Single: Anamaguchi - Own My Own

Biggest surprise: Passcode - Clarity

What are Alesana up to these days anyway? I know they've been doing a lot of producing and reselling the trilogy, any word on new stuff?

I've been following souls games since demons souls,.. even the souls-like games the range from decent to dreadful..  the fact the I haven't played this yet keeps me up at night.  

Do be warned, I think this game goes out of it's way to penalize you if you're coming in with a souls mindset. Which was initially great and a refreshing change of pace, especially when paired with polish and quality oozing at every corner...but by the end I was sick of the mechanics and only found myself disappointed.  

Had Death Stranding not come out this year, I think Sekiro would have definitely had a louder discussion on the divide it's had with fans -- for every 3 people I know that love it, I know another 2 that despised it.

Maybe it's been like a year since I listened to these guys, but those screams don't sound familiar at all. Still a kickass song though. Fraile Failures still gets put on my rotation from time to time. 

Think this is their 3rd screamer now (joined after Fragile Figures deluxe iirc).

Still kind of wished the clean singer had solo stuff / side project since it doesn't feel like this band (or his previous) is doing his voice justice. They're not bad,  and they've definitely shed their "just another Risecore" stigma...but still think they could push the boundaries a bit more. 

Not bad, that Greta insertion was really cringey though. 

I'm kind of over all the Sagan quotes being thrown into songs, but to pick something so "topical", ugh.
