Something about this song feels more dynamic than most of their recent output, plus it's considerably better sounding than their last album so that's pretty great. The first half is more or less standard BT at this point but the whole second half is just very good. I feel like before Earthbound they actually tried to drop albums that weren't just ~10 "hits" per album and were trying to make some sort of fairly varied attempt at an album so Runes and Crowns are like in a league of their own compared to the last few albums and these singles. At least good production is back lol.

This is really fucking good. Hard to believe they're japanese, also shame only one song from this LP is available on Spotify for most western countries.

Bird Problems huh? time's long past.

Played SH2 for the first time a month ago and the atmosphere and OST there is out of this world, Toluca Prison was is just a sinister location overall.

No BMTH or The Acacia Strain? You have to be shitting me. This is genuinely embarrassing

not good.

So you rate 7 out of 13 songs on here as great to perfect and call the album shit? At least you dissed NF I guess.

that's literally what I said tho I mean I knew that they're rolling the album out with no changes/push-backs.

The singles they dropped is some of the best more "traditional" deathcore of recent years. Shame that shit happened and they probably have no money and other means to roll back the album release to re-record and repress, etc.

That's basically a supergroup right here.

what a cover anyways, this is really good, wow.

funny how all three versions of this song are great.

I like it even though it's a far cry from bangers like Trapped. Telle's vocal performance is spectacular as always, even if he doesn't flash his uncleans much, the slight spacey synths and the atmospheric parts are really enjoyable, feels like a much more serious and well developed song than Burning Your World. Would be nice if the rest of the album wasn't filler filled but that's hardly likely at this point.

This EP is fucking bonkers, sooooooooo much better than the first one.

First two singles were cringy gimmicky garbage. BLOODMONEY is a fucking bomb. Anything Like Me is pretty great. Fill The Crown is another shitty single that has Ghostemane on some awful Rob Zombie shit mixed with awful clean parts. Nothing I Need is pretty unmemorable but nothing too obnoxious about it, feels interlude-y. Sit/Stay is very good, love the "Godspeed to the radio" part, very ethereal and catchy at parts. Bite Your Teeth a mixed bag of great parts mixed with godawful parts, pretty gimmicky and feels like some Jarrod Alonge written parody song with those breakdowns. Sick Of The Sun is quite beautiful and catchy. Don't Go Outside is a pretty great closer and is one of the best songs on this mess, but it's also missing something more impactful. 5.5/10, there was an attempt at greatness in some of the songs, the rest suck dick. Sidenote: most of the songs have really neatly done outros.

This is A LOT of fun.

Much worse than last two imo. There's nothing to grab on to.

Great song, has a bit of a southern tinge to it during the chorus. Nice to hear a song that's a big contrast to the previous single, this one is borderline linear and no cleans, variety = good.

Hijacking thread to remind you of this absolute early-00s gem

don't let your memes be dreams

Dunno about y'all but the heavier parts in this are fresh as fuck, love the flow and energy, the Night Verses guitarist did well, and drums are awesome too but the mix is a bit shit. I also always enjoyed My Ticket Home's vocals but his cleans here are very nu-metal sounding and i'm not too keen on it, the choruses are severely underwritten compared to the rest offered here as well. Either way, these guys have crazy potential with a similar sound polished and properly produced. Maybe a nice LP towards the end of 2020?
