This is not directed to people that dont like them. It’s to the people that send them death threats and and bring up tom at every turn. Dont think any band care if someone thinks their music is not their cup of tea
To be honest this song is my first encounter with Architects - all I had heard before was folks saying don't start with the later / latest stuff as they had, putting it politely, gone off the boil. I had therefore not explored their music at all until this song - which weirdly hit every one of my favourite reactors in the last week.
I also didnt love Classic Symptoms. FTTWTE is my favorite album from them(sarilege to some, I know) so its not the departure from style, it just didnt resonate with me. And thats okay! Cause FTTWTE is still there and I still listen to that album all the time. Holy Hell, AOGHAU, LF//LT, theyre all still there. I can go listen to them if I want. A lot of the -core community doesnt understand that, frankly, their opinion isnt worth shit. None of us are entitled to have our favorite bands make the music we want them to make. Saying we dont like something is fine, not every piece of music is for everyone. Demanding the artist make the music you want or harassing them if they dont is not okay. We dont go demand Ed Sheeran learn to scream and make a deathcore album. We shouldnt do it to Architects either. I like the song, but I feel bad that I do honestly. I dont think this is some massive fuck you to the haters, I think its more so "fine, heres what you wanted, please stop harassing us", and that sucks.
really well thought out review man, agreed!! would highly recommend you check out Plagues- really enjoy their music and released a new single in october which is definitely a new fave.
Had similar feelings about the last album, David. I wouldn't say all or even most of their discog with and immediately following Tom is necessarily 'downer' but something I see as sort of a spotlight on current world issues with scathing, aggressive lyrical commentary. Seeing Red is definitely a take on SOME 'fans' perspectives, but maybe fails to hit on some of TRUE fans real gripes and expectations with the band's content. The vibe I get from them these days is not the same vibe I had when I got my 'A' tattoo on my arm, that's for damn sure.

This review is the one that best expresses how I feel about it.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great point. Some of the garbage they get thrown at them is truly vile. I would be pissed too!
The same thing happened with Emmure.. everyone was mad because they weren't writing the same depressive music like they did in the beginning
