    Honestly really enjoyed this new album. Its a beartooth record with positive lyrics. Everything else sounds very Beartooth

    Lyrically and vocally, this has to be the strongest Caleb has ever been. Hes grown so much and progressed so much its crazy. Im also not a huge fan of the production but its still great. I think this might be the best theyve done so far.

    I was introduced to Beartooth after hearing Caleb's departure from Attack Attack, which i listened to religiously. Disgusting will forever be my favorite album by them, simply due to the amount of raw energy and emotion that's present in every single song

  • @MatthewDavis-yc4zo

    I hadn't heard of Beartooth until this year when I went to their show in Birmingham (UK) when I went to see Motionless, and Caleb's performance completely won me over and ever since, they're by far my favourite band. And this album was absolutely incredible. I don't think there's many songs of theirs that I skip across any album, but to me, this album is a masterpiece

    I love this album, the lyrics are everything I needed to hear these days.
    Anyways, my favorite is still Below.
    And just cause, here's my rankings of all of their records:
    1. Below
    2. The Surface (It still has the new album hype and such, probably will drop to 3 in a few months)
    3. Disgusting
    4. Disease
    5. Aggressive

  • @bstrick
    @bstrick 11 місяців тому +3

    This is my favorite album by them. Before, my favorite was Disgusting (their first full length LP). I think the production is phenomenal. There are pop elements here and there, but it’s not OVERPRODUCED. Like everything else that’s “heavy”. I like a lot of bands that have that really polished sound, but that’s what has always made Beartooth stand out. There is a rawness to it. Also, take into consideration that he plays every instrument, writes all the songs, does all the vocals, and produces the record himself. What other musician can say they’ve successfully done that start to finish as many times as he has? Oh yeah.. and it actually be enjoyable lol. It’s funny reading people saying “this is the best thing yet”, or “I like all of their music.”.. his touring musicians are phenomenal, but the entire writing process is all him. I play drums, bass, guitar, and sing. Im in a band called Shallow Signals as the vocalist. Even though I can do all of those things, I couldn’t imagine doing more than writing the melodies and lyrics while on tour year round.. and dropping it on a regular 2-3 year schedule. Guy deserves more credit. He’s definitely an anomaly.

    So in the past I tried listening to every album Beartooth has put out and each one I don't even get halfway through but this one though has my attention from start to finish. Everything from Caleb's lyrics to the dirty sounding instrumental's very good stuff. I'm not the biggest fan of Caleb's vocals but he knows how to write some catchy choruses.

    @zacharyomega7242 11 місяців тому

    I know I may speak for many but after having a harsh and dark past few years mentally between myself and my closest friend as well his girlfriend I can say I discovered Beartooth from an Instagram ad when Riptide originally released so most of these lyrics were quite emotional to me. The crazy part is Beartooth is meant for Caleb to put his pain into words and this is the first full album after Caleb went clean and he’s said that I Was Alive is his favorite song he’s done so far but he refuses to write songs as dark as Below. Caleb is the only reason that I’m paying attention to my mental health and I hope he inspires others.

  • @JeyBerg
    @JeyBerg 11 місяців тому

    Not that I think Beartooth has top tier production or anything, but people complaining about the production on this album are really looking back on Disgusting and Aggressive with rose tinted goggles (especially Aggressive). Those albums are... not good production wise. Some people argue thats what makes them great, they sound very raw and emotional (I understand the appeal). Disease to me is the best produced album by far. Below is overproduced, and this album is somewhere in the middle.

    I haven't jammed with anything from this band since Disgusting to be honest, everything was fine, but like "mid".
    This is great, to be honest, probably will crack my top 5-10 of albums of the year (I listen to a lot of shit, except core music) and I think will be top 3 in the genre for me at least.
    So much life, so many highs on this album (Might Love Myself drops some points for this album, but otherwise great).

    I know exactly what you mean by the production, though at the same time the tone sounds very accessible and LIVE. Beartooth is an extremely live band, I've literally never had so much fun in a crowd and pit before. It's a feel good album you put on in a good mood, with the top/windows down, cruising through some canyons

  • @AaronCyni
    @AaronCyni 11 місяців тому +25

    I 100% understand the way you feel about the mix. I noticed it mostly when listening to Below and despite the songs being top tier, the mix just kept distracting me.
    After listening to this record I've come to appreciate the slightly different sound in a space where I personally feel like song mixes all sound quite similar. After more listens I think the guitar tones in this record slap some hard tiddies.
    Maybe I've been huffing too much copium but I really do enjoy their music so much more after adapting to the different mix. I hope you can to because it definitely pushes this album up to a 9.5.
    Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    For me, a 6.5 or 7. Was enjoyable for the most part, but I was really hoping for a shift in sound and style. The positivity is refreshing to hear especially in sub-genre that's full of down and depressing lyrics, but musically it's the same song and dance for Beartooth. Even some of the "different" stuff they tried they don't seem to commit to fully. Still want to see them live though.

    i think because im a bassist and guitarist i kinda liked what was going on in below more, but i think these are more important songs because of caleb's story. im glad everyone else has noticed the mix too because i find it to be kinda tiring for my ears to listen to, with how bright and compressed it is. i also kinda wish there were less singles so there was more to listen to when the album came out, which i realize is a weird criticism.
