Grand Lord High Master - Grand Lord High Master (2017)

You didn't state your opinion though, that would've looked like this like this: "I don't like this because [reason you don't like this]" (or something along those lines). What you did was assuming shit about people and using grade school level insults. I'm not even trying to defend the album since I don't have any emotional attachment to it (you surely seem to have), your comment was just childish and annoying. I guess I shouldn't have taken the obvious bait but honestly, I just felt like doing so.

First of all, I disagree with the introduction of this post because in my opinion these bands do not sound "quite literally the same in style". Stolas for example has a way less ambient-oriented style than the other 2 and went for a faster, more The Mars Volta inspired style instead. Sianvar has those ambient elements that are overly present in the new ALLB album but they are way more technical when it comes to the instruments than that band is on DIVISI. For the purpose of this poll I'll state my individual opinions on the albums anyways. I can't really decide if I prefer the new Stolas album to the latest Sianvar record to be honest since the latter was my favourite post-hardcore album of last year but Stolas is a strong AOTY contender as well. It's definitely my favourite Stolas album because of the similarities to The Mars Volta. Carlo's vocals are so very reminiscent of Cedric Bixler and the album is what I would call truly "progressive" as opposed to Sianvar, which I would call "technical" instead. Sianvar, however, has other qualities that make it amazing. The vocals are just as fantastic and the combined guitar playing of Will Swan and Sergio from Stolas is mesmerizing. It also has the nice ambient flair that isn't really there on Stolas' new album. As you might have noticed, I haven't really said anything about the new ALLB record. This has two reasons: I haven't listened to it as much yet as I have to the other 2 and, so far, I don't like it as much as the other 2. It is a really good album but compared to the other 2, which I'd call my favourite post-hardcore albums of the last 2 years, it can't compete. The ambient elements are awesome and the vocals are fantastic but I found myself wishing for more of the technical guitar playing and the dynamic between Kurt's and Cory's vocals that made their first 2 records my favourite post-hardcore records of their respective years. Still, a really good album and I'm looking forward to what their future has to offer. I ended up voting for Stolas because I did a coin toss between them and Sianvar, there's no other way I could've made a decision.
