Holy fuck, this is incredible. Where did this come from, like how have I never heard of them before!?

Why does every metalcore band have the same name

Okay then why defend him.

You can't say you haven't because there's evidence.

Just don't comment further to spare yourself the embarrassment 

I'm no longer defending that specific thing he did, I'm agreeing with you.

Still downvoting, holy shit imagine being so bitter and hungry to argue that even when you actually manage to convince someone with your argument to agree with you (which is the ideal goal of arguing), you still downvote them. God, how fucking angry are you at like life in general, dude?

I don't just sleep with random people I meet for the first time, I actually build a substantial relationship with people before i do so, I actually find out shit about them

 

99% of the time when people get called for a video shoot there's age requirements and specified vetting that goes on to make sure that all of it is legally allowed.

 

The fact he involved her in the video alone literally classes him as distribution of child pornography.

 

The dude doesn't deserve a platform

I agree.

Dude you day that you're not defending predatory actions yet all you've done is defend him through your entire comment.

 

Regardless of whether he was freshly 18 or not what he did was illegal?

 

There's no defense for pedophilic actions. That's like me feeding peanuts to someone with a nut allergy and saying "Oh I didn't know that he would die from that" and then I could blame it on me never having to deal with it in my life?

 

Really poor take dude 

Yes, there is no defense for that, I agree. Conversation over.

I mean, this doesn't really justify that he's a convicted pedophile tho, and has other rape allegations against him on top of that one. Gang shit or not, rape ≠ justifiable

Gang violence is a problem, yes. It's a necessity sometimes sure, but with someone like this guy. It has gone too far imo 

I wasn't trying to justify that issue, and that's why I didn't fucking mention it. Quit deflecting the original point.

"Just look at Drake's song. These lyrics are so weak. And listen to the beat. Such bad beats.

Then you look at a quality rapper, like Big Sean. And, I mean, are you seeing this dude's car right now? And he's got the new Bugatti?

Look at stupid Drake's car. It looks like a Hot Wheels toy."

You talk about him like he's Jake Paul or some shit, when he's literally affiliated with gangs and crime (amongst other things that I won't mention that will just derail the thread like previous few) and these kinds of people rarely give a fuck anyways? Not much to respect or look up to there. I guess him monetizing the rat shit is pretty ballsy, I agree, other than that he's scum.

If you listen to rap, gang affiliation shouldn't phase you at all, tf? Your favorites all grew up on the streets, bruh, 6ix9ine just got caught.

If anything, growing up in that kind of environment commands more respect because you have to deal with the crabs-in-a-barrel circumstances that an oppressive and militarized government has put you in to begin with. You have to do what you can to survive, and for a lot, the gang lifestyle is a very promising form of "protection" and means to get by. It's not easy to get out of it, and this guy just fucking did.

If you've never experienced a hood, shut the fuck up about the hood. Very very very very very simple concept.

Yeah, this rules, they just keep getting better. One of the best and most aesthetically consistent hip-hop albums of the year. Hip-hop heads gonna blow their fucking tops if you tell them two Japanese girls made one of the best rap albums this year.

I can't lie, I kind of have this weird level of respect for this guy for just not giving a shit and still going outside and dropping music like this. Like he's really committed to his brand and that kind of commands some respect for that part of him alone.

God, I hope between this and Vision that this is what his next album sounds like. No snare or hi-hats, just kick and gritty synthwave bass.

His last two albums have been some of his best (Pale Emperor is straight up my second favorite Manson album) so I have high hopes for this...

Update: Yeah, it's good. Nice change of pace just like TPE was. I was admittedly really nervous after hearing the one single but within the context of the album, it's fine now. It's a great record, short sweet and to the point. I'm kind of glad it's only 10 songs too, getting really sick of the modern trend of 20+ song albums (and the dreaded "deluxe version"). Like chill, 20 DaBaby "songs" are enough, nobody fucking needs 15 more of them lmao

Let's fucking goooooooo

Let's fucking goooooooooooooooo

y i k e s

So is this an actual Killers album or just another glorified Brandon Flowers solo album?

Edit: I love how people just downvote straight up questions lmfao

Anyways, update: it's good, it's really good.

Also wtf is up with the numbering of the tracks

It's a 7 disc album

Let's fucking gooooooooooooooooooo

Oh wow, this sucks massive donkey dick. Let me just list it off.

1. The orchestra is mixed so low. If I actually wanted to listen to Metallica, I'd put on a fucking Metallica album.
2. It's like 90% the same songs as the original S&M. They had the chance to add so many cool songs from all around their discography (they managed to make All Within My Hands sound like a song I'd actually want to listen to, they could have done that with a lot of St. Anger songs here too). Which like I get it, it's an anniversary concert, but if you're gonna do that, at least use the same arrangements. Which brings me to #3
3. The arrangements on the old songs are new arrangements and they're so much worse and more uninspired, when you can even hear them because again, the mix balance between Metallica and the orchestra is fucking awful. But oh my god, the original S&M Master Of Puppets is the perfect most ideal version of that song ever recorded, and they completely fucked it up with this terrible new mix that basically just makes the strings follow the guitars rather than utilize unique and complimentary harmonization/all new melodies.

Yeah, just an overall shitshow here. Was so excited when I heard they'd be doing an S&M2 seeing as the first S&M1 is basically the only way I find their music even remotely interesting, but this is just embarrassing.

So this is the fake Batushka but it's actually good what the fuck!?

Wait I didn't get any notifications about this, how'd this leak!?

Imagine trying to compare adlibs to lyrics... 

There's plenty of artists out there with cringe or boring or bland lyrics, just look at Gunna for instance. Wunna had some of the worst lyrics I've heard all year where it's just so painfully on the nose that it's not even worth listening to.

You want something that's overdone and generic and uninspired, go listen to Wunna 

Wunna is a fun album. It's not cringe, it's pretty straight forward for the current trend of Atlanta trap rappers. Also I'm not talking about ad-libs, maybe at least listen to the artists I mentioned before talking out of your ass.

1.) Never called you a snowflake and I'm not pushing a narrative "all the time", I was simply calling you out for being toxic and trashing a band over nothing.

 

2.) There's 2 features from Japanese artists, Ryo from Crystal Lake and then as Previously mentioned TYOSiN, a fair few artists care about their culture and their background etc, if they had found what they're doing overdone or tacky or just simply using them for an aesthetic they simply wouldn't have done it.

 

3.) There's hundreds if not thousands of artists that use Japanese related material / imagery etc etc, every rapper makes anime references, metalcore bands are gonna shoot in Tokyo streets. 

 

4.) Before you come through and say some dumbasss remarks liKe LoOk aT bEcKs lAsT aLbUm just shows you care too much about a melons opinion that you do your own, actually try to look at the album subjectively in and amongst the swathes of Deathcore releases and then you'll soon come to realise that this is a pretty fucking good album because of how unique it is to the genre.

Name me 5 albums that sound like this in modern day Deathcore.

You probably won't at all.

 

In summary, stop being biased and actually be a lil more subjective and stop being so God damn opinionated 

2.) Oh, excuse me, there are two features so it's okay. Well Gwen Stefani had four Harajuku Girls so she must be above it too, then.

3.) And have you noticed all of those artists are either fucking terrible, "yellow fever" fetishists, or the 'aesthetic' adds absolutely nothing to the artistic value of the music? As maligned as Kiss Land is by people who have never actually listened to it, it's one of the best western albums inspired by Japanese aesthetics probably ever, mostly because it doesn't actually try to make it the face of it, it's just sort of using it as a backdrop for The Weeknd's experiences going so far from home, save for the occasional bit of katakana during the promotional material and live show visuals on that tour.

4.) I can't cause I don't really fw deathcore because very little of it does much to differentiate itself. Which, yeah, I'll agree to your point, this album certainly does stuff to differentiate itself from the crowd, but not in the parts of it that are actually deathcore, just in those weird out-of-place interludes. It was kind of fun when Babymetal was doing it as just like a silly little gimmick on songs like Iine and 4 No Uta, but it just...doesn't work when a band takes themselves as seriously as this, which would also explain why Babymetal sucks now too since they started taking themselves so seriously.

God the temptation to just reply with "lol" and leave it at that and just have you keep typing out paragraphs trying to say that appropriating aesthetics isn't bad...

I mean they haven't been disrespectful in any way shape or form, they've been really respectful in terms of creating compositions that are reminiscent of Koto music itself, even if it is a chaotic and heavy as fuck record, look at the intro track Yomi with those plucky harps and so on.

There's a massive trap influence as well as traditional Japanese music.

 

This is probably their softest record as a band and it's at times more Metalcore than Deathcore imo.

 

Tracks like B4NGB4NG!! literally feature a J-Rap artist, if that's not showing respect to a culture and wanting to expand the horizons of others then I don't know what is.

 

Lyrics don't always have to mean something you know, this album is pretty fucking good and if you want to claim that they're being culture vultures then that's you creating a problem that little to noone has.

 

In conclusion, stop taking offense over things that noones taken offense to

No one took offense, please stop trying to push the "lol these triggered snowflakes are offended" narrative all the time. Also just because there's a Japanese feature on it doesn't necessarily mean they're "showing respect to the culture". If it was that easy, Gwen Stefani's little "Harajuku Girls" thing would have been great PR but we all saw how that turned out. I didn't say "this is offensive" or "they're disrespecting a culture!!!!!11" I said that people using Japanese as an aesthetic is super fucking unoriginal and overdone. Just look at that last Beck album. What the fuck did that add to it? Literally nothing.

Now with that dumbass remark aside, yeah, lyrics certainly don't have to mean anything, but there's a fine line between Young Thug or Wednesday Campanella ad-libbing nonsense and experimenting more with what the human voice is capable of and just straight up cringey fucking lyrics. This isn't the former, it's the latter.

lol there's nothing really "gamechanging" about this, it doesn't really "combine" sounds in any actual unique way, it's more like the "trap" influence is just a short bridge that's a trap beat in the same key as the rest of the song and then it just goes back to being really straight-forward deathcore. Pretty cringe lyrics too. Westerners in general kind of should just...not use other cultures as their aesthetic. Feel like this band just found the Wikipedia article for youkai because they were reading the Death Note wiki or something and were like "oh that's cool, let's use that".

Siiiiiick.
