Apologies for interrupting the Acacia Strain love, but the new Norma Jean album surprised the hell out of me with how not-terrible it is. I've always been kind of indifferent towards the band; I appreciate that they're a bit more chaotic than most of their peers, but they've never really been able to hold my attention for more than a song or two. Plus The Anti-Mother was loving atrocious so I'd lost hope in the band completely, but the new album is actually a pretty great culmination of everything they've done until now. They've mostly moved on from capable-if-uninteresting Botch worship to a nice mixture of Dillinger Escape Plan madness, memorable songwriting, and crushing, dissonant breakdowns that actually aren't overused. It's great stuff. A Media Friendly Turn for the Worse sounds identical to Under A Killing Moon by Thrice though.

This poo poo is ridiculous.Cloud the Cat posted:What the gently caress is happening in this youtube clip hahaha.

El Golden Goose posted:Was gonna mention this myself. Track 8, I think it is, has a very cool cameo from Jason Butler of letlive. Honestly, after about 4 spins this album may be TGI's best IMO. Jason's spot hosed with me pretty hard at first. I saw his name and was expecting something closer to the track he did with Stray From the Path, not the ridiculous (in a good way) Michael Jackson-sounding verse. The man is so drat versatile.

El Golden Goose posted:And he's an absolute beast live too. Very, very talented vocalist and frontman. Yep. First time I saw them was in 2011 I think, right before Fake History was re-released through Epitaph. It was The Human Abstract's headlining tour, but they dropped out a few nights prior due to personal issues and left the opening bands to fend for themselves. The whole situation was a clusterfuck, maybe ten people showed up, and the venue was some tiny-rear end youth club that apparently hosts wholesome young adult raves where 13-year-olds dance awkwardly to Christian dubstep and get hosed up on Monster Energy drinks. It was the most loving surreal concert experience of my life, I had no idea what to expect, and then letlive. came out and just loving killed it, complete with Jason climbing railings, sprinting across the bar, and riding a chubby dude like an asthmatic horse. I've seen them a few more times since then. They've been great every time, but I don't think anything will top that first show and "holy poo poo, what the gently caress just happened?" spectacle of it.

Pretty sure I'm about 15 years too old to enjoy Attila as much as I do, but gently caress if they aren't the funnest drat band. My play count on About That Life is mildly embarrassing, and Guilty Pleasure will probably match it. The title track might be the catchiest song I've heard all year. It's not on YouTube yet, but the singles they've released are pretty fun too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xCT2_UNIKE

krustster posted:YEEEEAAAAHHHHH i fuken love that Agony Scene tape and am stuck in a never-ending cycle of forgetting/re-discovering it every couple years or so. Awesome lifting music. I randomly saw them live when their first album came out and I was upset with myself later because I wasn't familiar enough with their music to enjoy them properly at the time. Also kinda crazy that you brought up the old Still Remains tape in the same post because I got both of those CDs at the exact same time. Probably because they were on the same label and released at the same time but whatever. Loved that new Still Remains, definitely surprised at how solid the whole album is. Can't top Of Love and Lunacy, but the fact that it's even close is kind of crazy. I never even bothered with The Agony Scene's third tape after seeing bad reviews, which is a shame since Darkest Red and the self-titled are both loving great. The S/T is just straight At The Gates worship, but it's really, really well done. The cover of Paint it Black is pretty fun, too. They're back together now too, no idea when they're planning to drop anything official but they've been playing a new song live that sounds pretty cool and similar to their early stuff.

Henchman of Santa posted:"I should've loving pissed on you!" did them in. That was them, right? It was. Doesn't quite match the lyrical masterpiece of "She starts her new diet of liquor and dick," but it's up there. Oli's wrote some stupid lyrics in his time, but he's turned into a pretty good vocalist in the last few years. The whole band's grown enormously; Sempiternal was a solid album all-around, really liked the post-rock influences and the sort of ethereal atmosphere through the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjOSydtI38Q

Avenged Sevenfold are great at what they do and I will defend them as my heartthrob champions of butt rock until I die. Last album was garbage though.

I was lukewarm on BMTH on first listen but I'm liking it more and more. Seems like another song 'clicks' each time through, right now I love about half of the songs, but the number keeps growing. Drown is fantastic, I know it's been out for a long time but it didn't do anything for me on first listen. When it showed up in the album I was floored though. Weird how that happens. Still enjoying the hell out of Subliminal Criminals, too. More irrelevant talk, but The Wonder Years' new album is great. Jason Butler's guest spot on this track is ridiculous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BseJxGjIeDU

chocolateTHUNDER posted:I actually like it a lot, but Atreyu seems to be one of those love/hate bands with not much middle ground. This sounds exactly like an album they would have released 7 or 8 years ago, and I'm absolutely fine with that. You could probably slot it in between Deathgrip and Congregation (I took out Lead Sails on purpose because that's really a different beast of an album) and it'd fit nicely between the two. Yeah, I actually love the new album. Seems like a mix of everything in their career, but executed a whole lot better than Congregation or Lead Sails which I didn't really care for. A lot of the tracks sound like they could fit right between The Curse and Deathgrip in style and quality. Start to Break is awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJpufXnXORA

I'm a huge advocate for Parkway releasing a non-metalcore album but I'd really hoped it'd also be non-poo poo. Oh well. I've never been a big fan but I've always thought they seemed like a great thrash/melodeath band making mediocre metalcore albums. Deep Blue was so close to being a fantastic album but it's held back by its over-reliance on the old 'core trappings that just aren't executed very well. Like, take Deadweight for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxlPQ1zHxOc The riffs are uniformly great & Winston's vocals are ridiculous but the breakdowns have been done better thousands of times by hundreds of other bands. Essentially the exact same breakdown shows up twice and eats up about a third of the runtime. I've got no issues with gratuitous breakdowns if they're actually good, but it's an uninteresting breakdown made worse by the fact that everything surrounding it actually rules. Pretty much every song on the album has the same issue and it's frustrating because there's so much I like about the band but they always manage to find a way to bore the gently caress out of me. But hey at least they never sounded like King 810 before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAFJk-NytBE

Ehh I'd probably say 2nd best but that may just be due to Ascendancy nostalgia. But yeah In Waves was surprisingly solid, I feel like it's the only album since Ascendancy where they weren't trying too hard and coming up short. The Crusade tried too hard to be a thrash album and ended up poo poo. Shogun tried too hard to be progressive and ended up poo poo. Vengeance Falls tried too hard to be poo poo and ended up being a David Draiman album. In Waves was just straightforward radio-metal with no frills and no overreaching which is refreshing since Matt Heafy's ego is consistently the worst thing about the band.
