not really into this genre but checked it out anyway. overall wasn't into it

decent: lord of flies

the fact that mariah carey is on KL makes me lol and smh at the same time

i like gorillaz but i couldn't get into this. a bit too circus-y and quirky. didn't find the songs to be catchy nor quality

this is so. bad...

listened. deleted everything except "woman"

their singles used to be stronger. this album is full of decent songs, but nothing here is strong. best song is "not the way it was" with a more melodic chorus. only songs i'm deleting are "the what have we done?" and "daggers," which is surprising since i usually only keep about 3-5 songs. pretty much every song is enjoyable but could've been better with a better chorus

waited until 320 was out, and wow these comments dont lie. every song has generic lyrics that belong in boy band rock radio. empty, meaningless cliches just as filler. complete waste of time. zero effort. the old me and live another day were decent, rest is absolute shameful. memphis may meet my garbage

Decent: detach, heart support, absence, hands of complacency

is there an album upcoming? they released 'this was once a home' last year and still no album announcement

also, this isn't good

love me some polyenso feels. barracuda (as oceana) and always ending in you are their best

why the fuck is emarosa trying to be a pop band? last album sucked but cmon lol

i find it hard to imagine this is any good being that their sound was such an early 2000s sound and modern nu-metal is cringy for the most part. i guess i'll give it a try when it's 320

holding off until 320, but i have zero expectations - especially after reading this ridiculous thread. funny how the hollow is referenced as their peak when i only like the sinner from it. MMF was never that good to me, but i'll give this a spin or two regardless

just checking them out now. album is ok, but not impressed really

decent: the reach for me

ok: the sun the moon the truth, doomed by you

married to the noise and cave canem were borderline but decided against keeping them. not enough clean vocals for my taste here

not really into proggy stuff but the chorus is good. decent jam

saw them this summer touring this album, which was strange since it's just released now. shorter album than i expected with 8 songs

decent: knights of malta, silvery sometimes, solara

fantasy and scars are decent. rest of the album wasn't good tbh

kind of ironic my dream last night was the FBI showing up and raiding my house for downloads lol

overall an enjoyable listen. the strengths here are the instrumentals. no old school muse bangers, but this is tight. also dig the ready player one album art style

good: thought contagion, algorithm, the dark side, pressure

really like the buildup for algorithm

also, pressure's chorus riff sounds like elle king- ex's and oh's

some hits, some misses....i'll refer by the band

wow: taking back sunday

good: neck deep, DGD

ok: movements, too close to touch

downloading this just in case i ever stop spinning architects

new to them. sometimes i think they have potential, other times i question why the fuck i'm listening to this. "two wrongs no rights" was horrible and an embarrassing attempt at leaving their post-hardcore sound for some rap-oriented shit. lyrics sound like emo/rap high school lyrics that never deserved recording

this should be quality. even tho they're mainstream they make solid music

Edit: here's the verdict

Good: Natural

Decent: boomerang, cool out, bad liar, west coast, zero, bullet in a gun, birds

"Stuck" rips off "Days Go By" in a pretty direct way with the chorus. took me a minute but that's def the song

Overall a decent album. but nothing impressive. natural will be in the shuffle mix

easily AOTM, contender for AOTY

great: royal beggers, doomsday

good: hereafter, mortal after all, holy hell, modern misery

jon's parts on here are great. DGD really made it their own. great job
