    Just stop tagging me in your posts, I don't want to deal with you anymore just leave me alone. I wasn't back pedalling, I have stated multiple times that I haven't enjoyed black veil brides throughout my life, I've give them respect where credit was due whenever I've listened to them.

     

    You're being irrational and biased and not at all constructive, stop looking through rose tinted glasses.

     

    I'm done with this thread I'm sick of this shit.

    Half tempted to leave the site because of this.

     

    Thanks @MyTearsYW you've made me feel sick of a forum congrats.

    You know what fine, I'm dropping it.

    Agree to disagree.

    God your logic is terrible, you seem not to understand you are literally reciting arguments over and over so stop whilst you are ahead

     

    Reminder: The discussion/argument had finished for a day and you restarted it just cause you can't face people having different opinions on your favourite band

    Agree to disagree

    I've read this whole thread, and I don't think anything he says was "objectively" wrong, and how was he fueled by nostalgia? He doesn't even like the original

     

    Quote from the Contrarion Dude: "There's little to no charm off of this, the original has heart and charm because knowing their history it shows how determined and hardworking they were for the music, this is a really lazy attempt at a rerelease.

     

    Just because he wasnt happy with it when he released it and when he looks back on it, doesn't mean that you should necessarily go back and try to change it, and if you wanted to change it to

    make it better wouldn't you want to make it sound as good as possible?"

     

    This was the particular statement that leads me to believe he's being heavily influenced by nostalgia. He's taking a subjective viewpoint, color coating it with nostalgia and assuming it's a cash grab (word for word what he said in an earlier post as well). 

     

    Maybe my personal history with the band (including how BVB used my review in their marketing of Vale a couple years back) is making me irrationally upset by this, but I can assure you 100% this is not a cash grab.

    You know what I get they're your favourite band and they saved your life etc etc, but no every single person is the same and not everyone has to enjoy the same things as you. Calling me a contrarian is uncalled for and deliberately goading me to give you a knee jerk reaction, trying to labour the point that you think it sounds good to get a rise out of me isnt on.

     

    Enjoy the album, give it an 11/10, make it your album of the year do whatever idc.

     

    Just stop stirring the pot

    Don't suddenly go on the defensive because the entire thread yeeted you, that was NOT your original point.

    Your original point was that this release was a cash grab, once you got proven wrong you completely switched course.

    Quit pot stirring an argument that was already told not to continue.

     

    "Contrarian" are you implying every single person has to enjoy this album by the way? And if they don't than they're disliking it only because it's popular? Not trying to start an argument, genuine question

    No, people can feel free to hate it or dislike it if they want.

    The guy earlier was making objectively false points though unrelated to the music composition, which is why I called him a contrarian. He was clearly fueled by nostalgia.

    Let's ignore the dude trying to be a contrarian on the previous pages and talk about how awesome the record is.

     

    I absolutely LOVE how Beautiful Remains sounds now with its undercurrent of now clearly audible rhythmic guitar melodies, especially during the chorus. I've been listening to the album nonstop lately.

    It's just supposed to sound better, which it does. I knew people were gonna reach for wild statements like that because they're blinded by nostalgia the second they announced this two years ago. You're pathetically predictable.

    It's like the people I'm seeing in the comments of the Mortician's Daughter video upset that it's an instrumental.

    Andy wrote the original version of that song when he was 15 for his ex-girlfriend. He's literally almost 30 years old now and married, singing that now would feel weird and I actually really appreciate the change.

    It's just baffling to me that if Andy's so passionate about rereleasing this album why wouldn't himself, the band and the producer work as hard as humanly possible to make this the best version of it as possible if it means so much to him 🤷‍♂️

     

    Just some food for thought 

     

    That's the thing, you're taking your subjective opinion of the album's sound and applying it to how the band feels about their own album.

    If you dislike something from your past and have the opportunity to change it, you should 100% change it. That whole logic train of "don't change the past" makes no sense to me.

     

    This was a completely in-house produced project. Jake (the lead guitarist) and Jinxx (the rhythm guitarist and composer) did all the production work on this album.

    I'm gonna definitely be in the minority here but fuck is this bad, the mixing is so all over the place, the screams on knives and pens are absolutely pitiful, the overall feel of this re-release just seem like a massive cashgrab from Andy and the band.

     

    The problem with this for me the most is why?

     

    What was the need to redo this album, it's not like they've been broken up for a decade or something, there's 0 need for this.

    I guess if you're a fan of newer BVB then this will tickle your pickle but to be honest this just feels really hollow and bland 

     

    Gonna address several things here.

     

    This is in no-way a cash grab. Andy has stated multiple times since 2013 that he didn't like the original version of the album due to the next to nothing budget they had while recording it (on top of recording it in a jingles studio in the middle of the night most nights). They even tried to do a re-recording of it with a bigger budget back in 2013 when they were signed to Universal. He dislikes the original album.

     

    It's not about whether they were broken up or not, it's about the fact that the original album didn't fulfill the vision they had for it, so they re-recorded it, and as someone who has several lyrics from this album tattooed on me, I think it's better than the original. Sure the mixing is a bit out of whack sometimes, but the charm and atmosphere more than makes up for it.
