33 now for me. I remember when this record came out, my friends were like, "It's just a Botch rip off." And? They took Botch and made one of the best records of all time!
Probably my favorite NJ's album, and a staple in my metal playlist. How these madmen managed to mix mathcore dissonance with characteristic Southern rock melodics so flawlessly is beyond me to this day, but Lord it slaps indeed
Still one of my favorite songs And this lineup was the best Saw them live and hung out with them after winning a contest in their MySpace page. Best concert of 2007
The way the his vocals are produced on this album is incredible. It's the perfect combination of gain and compression that makes his voice sound absolutely ghastly. But in a good way. That and the fact that he's just an all around good vocalist.
Actually, it's less like "you grow out of it" and more like you branch out and listen to other things. And then 5-10 years down the road you come back to a band like this and you realize that it wasn't just a phase; you actually just had a ridiculously awesome taste in music even as a 15 year old. Sorry you didn't turn out to be ridiculously awesome like the rest of us Norma Jean fans... In light of this recent discovery, I promise to write you an emotional song that uses 4 chords and contains
My first metal concert, SCARS OF TOMORROW, NORMA JEAN, UNEARTH, ATREYU. The norva, Norfolk VA 2002. Changed my life. Also my 12 year old friend got lost in norma's mosh. Epic.
Half of my band loved Atreyu, and the other half hated them. I hated them. Took me like 10 years to listen to Norma Jean again after Josh quit, and they did plenty of good albums. This is one of my least favorite albums by them. This whole album is them trying to sound like Botch. Listen to Botch We Are The Romans album, and you'll hear it.
I have vivid memories of buying this CD at my local Best Buy the day it released, putting it into my car's CD player, mostly going into it blind, and being completely blown away. Such a different direction from the first album, but I immediately loved it. I miss having experiences like that with music.
i remember last summer, i had just downloaded this record, and had it on my ipod, listened to the whole album taking a bus downtown and then back home, blew my mind, so i bought the first two records, love this band
Stop arguing for your preference of music. Ask yourself why someone goes to a song they dislike so adamantly before responding to some of the venom-spitting comments. Someone asks "Why do you like this?" or puts their opinion out in a decent way "I dislike this song because and " then whatever, but in the end all music is opinion-based. Even the worst songs to you can be works of art to another. So it's a waste of time to sit here and bicker when no one is going to change their views.
I saw them @ MacRock in 2003, Hellfest in 2003, and some local shows in 2003 in Richmond, VA. After Scogin left, but before Cory joined. They were still touring Bless the Martyr @ that point. Really glad I can say that I was able to see them that early on in their career.
Tool? The biggest influence on this album was Botch. Some of the songs, if you told someone they were unreleased Botch songs they'd accept it. Those riffs and the dissonance is all Botch and some Isis. It blew me away because Botch were a legendary and respected band and Norma Jean were more scene and metalcore and when they said Botch and Isis were the two bands they loved the most I thought "where is it in the music" then they released this album and I was like :O
@tech9boarder Dude that'd be the Alexisonfire, Four Year Strong, Norma Jean and La Dispute December tour yeah? I saw 'em at Sound Academy, fucking crazy show!
@mynamesbobby9892 we're both right. on the first 2 albums they were endorsed by Fernandes Guitars, then ESP on "Redeemer". Scottie started using First Act when they recorded "The Anti-Mother".
I always wondered what it was they were zooming in on. It looks like meat of some sort. It always spooked me as a kid. Especially when this video came up at 2AM on GMC. Haha.
@MichaelBREAKDOWN I love the chariot and Josh is doing his own thing now and I'm happy for him, but Norma Jean can hold their own. O' god the aftermath is a fucking insane album.
Every time someone asks me where I got my channel name I have to explain who Norma Jean is, what kind of music they play, the name of this song, and how important their music is to me. Anyway, this is it. This is how I got my name.
When I first picked up this record, I didn't like it- came back two years later, still didn't like it. Gave it another two years after searching for the angriest, darkest, most mental music I could and I loved it. I don't even care if noone else I know appreciates it, it's for me and there's nothing else like it out there. I'm glad they're still making music.
@mahavishnuxc same here! i stumbled across small spark v. a great forest last night and was like "damn i cant believe i almost forgot these guys existed." haha
step 1: use google chrome step 2: download the "adblock" add on step 3: be happy that you will never have to look at an advertisements, comercials, or popups on any videos or websites ever again
@mynamesbobby9892 nah they play Fernandes. quality instruments all the way. but apparently First Act actually makes some beast custom guitars; ask Al Jourgensen from Ministry \m/
great band great song pure Hardcore (not punk or metal) but as a sidethought were they riding off the backs off bands such as Thursday and Converge (who later became more Metalcore).
They've been characterized as "chaotic metalcore", because the flow of the verses is very free and the music may seem pretty unfitting, different or "random" (not literally) at some parts. Their songs are rather small, but it's as if they're playing at least 5-6 different songs!
Scogin has more aggressive screams, but i think Cory is better cause he changes classic Norma Jean to an unlimited new band with highest natural vocals and unique screams. If u check Robots 3 Humans 0 u'll get what i'm saying.

This album, and this song in particular got me into Norma Jean. Loved them since

@@largemale8129 I know you're a real one talking about botch
ON GOD! lol as a fellow 34 year old! 2005 was a different time!
@@largemale8129 FACTS!
the entire album still punches just as hard as the day it came out
100% true
the guitars are so brutal. 10/10
💯
Too bad none of the musicians who made it do.
Probably my favorite NJ's album, and a staple in my metal playlist. How these madmen managed to mix mathcore dissonance with characteristic Southern rock melodics so flawlessly is beyond me to this day, but Lord it slaps indeed
Still one of my favorite songs
And this lineup was the best
Saw them live and hung out with them after winning a contest in their MySpace page.
Best concert of 2007
That's bad ass. Yes, this album was my favorite.
Same. In Boise, ID at The Venue. The best years no doubt
I listened to this song when I was a teenager . 32 now and it still hits in all the right ways 👐👐🙌😎🤘
The way the his vocals are produced on this album is incredible. It's the perfect combination of gain and compression that makes his voice sound absolutely ghastly. But in a good way. That and the fact that he's just an all around good vocalist.

This fucking album! Even the first one... 18 years old and is STILL harder than most albums released today!
Fucking love Norma Jean!

A. B51 I bet that place went fucking apeshit when NJ started.
Dude remember The Bled around this time?
I'm 27, Been listening to this song since I was 11. I remember it being on a victory records DVD along with atreyu or something
Half of my band loved Atreyu, and the other half hated them. I hated them.

One of the best videos and best songs on UA-cam ever. Period.
Top 3 best metalcore albums ever
SPACED one Absolutely. Right next to Jane Doe.
When I was younger
This was the heaviest shit
Hands down
Still holds up against any band out there.
Defo @@LardGargantuus
Legends !!! still one of the bands that got me into metalcore back in HS and still kicking ass till today
Pure blind aggression on this song. Killer.
Louis Valenz Entertainment Absolutely relentless
I’d say this is essential for fans of extreme music.
@@TheseBitchesWantNikesThe whole album is a masterpiece.
i remember last summer, i had just downloaded this record, and had it on my ipod, listened to the whole album taking a bus downtown and then back home, blew my mind, so i bought the first two records, love this band
It came with smiles. It came with gestures. And it came with motives.
INSEEEEEEEEEEEERT KNIFE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!!!🔥🔪💀
December 2020 & it still rips. Whole album is fire

lets ask ourselves this, who else is like Norma Jean?
***** Botch.
The Chariot.... Cause well. you know
Dope as fuck. I dont care about what any whole human says
@@MrChamplain23 what about a half human?
Best song to workout to
It's not a phase, Mom.
If that isnt that the truth. 20 years of this and it’s still never gonna get old.
Tee hee. 😂
I saw this on MTV when it came out and I was fucking sold.
This makes me miss Scottie Henry :(
I'm so fucking happy I actually visited their concert once. That was one of the best gigs in my life (im 20)
Same here! I saw them in Amsterdam in 2007... craziest show I've experienced!
DJ Gosch And new album is coming out soon!!
I saw them @ MacRock in 2003, Hellfest in 2003, and some local shows in 2003 in Richmond, VA. After Scogin left, but before Cory joined. They were still touring Bless the Martyr @ that point. Really glad I can say that I was able to see them that early on in their career.
From mother Russia whith love!)) Respect from Samara!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Real G's always listen.
We don't give a fuck what year it is.
I'm not a fan of Post-Hardcore music, but O God, The Aftermath is a fucking raw as hell, badass album.
Вы, парни, молодцы!
I feel like this song should be used for a racing crash compilation video, or a highlight video for short track racing.
Ozzest 06 in NC. You guys brought the house down. W o w.
The best breakdown set ever :D
THIS. IS. NORMA. JEEEEEEEEEAN!!!!!! ROOOOOOOOOOOOLLED BAAAAAACK!
still listening in 2019 x)

@herbivore007 Daniel's always been one of my favorite drummers. i was so bummed when he left NJ, but now he's in Underoath so yaaaay
one of the first bads i heard :] cheers for good ol days
Love the constant hockey tape on Scotties guitar.
Isto É Que Era Norma,fdx Metal Core In Da House
I used to jam this all the time. So cool that they are still kick but
@tech9boarder Dude that'd be the Alexisonfire, Four Year Strong, Norma Jean and La Dispute December tour yeah? I saw 'em at Sound Academy, fucking crazy show!
that Fernandes Vertigo is pure awesome
THIS SONG IS STILL DOPE AF
lo amooo
@mynamesbobby9892 we're both right. on the first 2 albums they were endorsed by Fernandes Guitars, then ESP on "Redeemer". Scottie started using First Act when they recorded "The Anti-Mother".
I always wondered what it was they were zooming in on. It looks like meat of some sort. It always spooked me as a kid. Especially when this video came up at 2AM on GMC. Haha.
@Smizzers oh, when they played here it was la dispute, trash talk, alexisonfire. i had to look it up lol.
Just here to make sure this shit still slaps in 2021
That's rock and roll 💯
Definitive lineup for sure.
2019
Still a perfect album

@riotthecha
scottie played first act, and he just left this year so up until this year they played with them lol
Not sure what happened here, but the description section says it’s off the album “Bayonetwork”.
The title of the album is O god, the aftermath. 🤷🏻♂️
Still dope!
@mahavishnuxc same here! i stumbled across small spark v. a great forest last night and was like "damn i cant believe i almost forgot these guys existed." haha
High School in the early 2000's was rad.
Throwback 🎧
Classic single
@budverissimo1 gibsons, scottie uses a firebird.
what guitars are they using in this video? i cant recognize them
Fernandes Vertigo
2019 - this song still fuckin' shreds
It does in 2021 aswell
70k views?! this is unacceptable! love this song
@FaithfulToTheLosAH amen, dude. Impending doom has screaming, and by no means is it screamo
rolononnnnnn !!
anyone know what kind of guitar the guy with the white shirt is playing?
is it just me or the sound is like 96 kbs?
It's not just you
I believe the video is also lower quality than the DVD version. Someone uploaded that version and UA-cam blocked it in the US
i see you were alive for dialup, welcome
The whole album has such quality.
The breakdown @ 2:45 ... fucking brutal
@budverissimo1 check out their myspace, they list their endorsements, and its a signiture guitar that scottie uses
Is the heart as light as a feather
Still here in 2021
BUENOS MOMENTOS CON!! NORMA JEAN
This shit is still alive and gold.
step 1: use google chrome
step 2: download the "adblock" add on
step 3: be happy that you will never have to look at an advertisements, comercials, or popups on any videos or websites ever again
@Smizzers ........they were?
@mynamesbobby9892 nah they play Fernandes. quality instruments all the way. but apparently First Act actually makes some beast custom guitars; ask Al Jourgensen from Ministry \m/
great band great song pure Hardcore (not punk or metal) but as a sidethought were they riding off the backs off bands such as Thursday and Converge (who later became more Metalcore).
+David Brady Thursday was never 'metalcore'. Thursday is considered a 'post hardcore' band.
wow, the irony, this video has better visual quality, and yet its just a quiet as the other host -.-
fuck me running norma jean just drop kicked me in the face with this musical sensation
i fucking love he way they jam. my fav band. not like any other either
wow his name reminds me of a old granny but HAHA i love there voice. screamo is sooo hott!
Hahaha, that's awesome.
hell yes ♪
2023 ?
@FaithfulToTheLosAH I agree. screamo = sooo good! Rock on \\m// (these are spose 2 b metal fingers) XD
Thanks for the laugh
