My favorite part is the end, that repeated "they trade their hearts if they were made of gold" but then he says "but their as worthless as the souls they've sold" and an instant atmospheric fade out, forcing you to think about those last lyrics as the next song is coming up. So fucking epic
The best and most hard hitting part, 1:20 I found God clutching a razor blade He said "Look at the fucking mess they've made They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold."
We are beggars. We are so fucking weak. And once upon a time we had the world at our feet. Well we're all dying to meet our maker, But all our Gods have abandoned us! All our Gods have abandoned us! This is the great esoteric depression. We sold our souls but couldn't buy salvation. We are all the shades of misery. The reigning champions of tragedy. They use their faith as a weapon, they count our sins by the seven. Blackwater at the gates of heaven. All hail the corporatocracy. The word of God written in binary. All hail our apostasy, The dying notes in an unholy symphony. Blegh! All our Gods have abandoned us! This is the great esoteric depression. We sold our souls but couldn't buy salvation.

In case this is your first time hearing this album, I'll get the obvious out of the way. These crazy motherfuckers ACTUALLY fucking topped LF//LT. Thank you, Architects. Album gets 9 BLEGHS! out of 10.
I heavily disagree with you on this album topping LF//LT. While this is a much HEAVIER release than LF/LT, it doesn't have as much thought out songwriting has LF//LT did. It's not as catchy and memorable as that album either, but that's mostly because #1 they're continuing the similar sound of LF//LT in this album and #2 their ideas on how to write individual unique standout songs while using this sound is starting to wear a bit thin (take a look at songs like "Phantom Hourglass" and "From The Wilderness", you may think that those songs are catchy and stand out right now but try listening to them 10 years later and tell me that those songs aren't just filler). Regardless of that, this album is still a fucking fantastic disc and actually makes 2016's metalcore a bit less depressing so I got to give them props for doing their best to help prevent metalcore from becoming a 100% complete joke of a metal sub-genre.
+Mariano Laferte LF//LT definitely has a couple VERY heavy songs, but not as many as the ones from AOGHAU. Broken Cross and CANCER are definitely two perfect examples of how brutal Architects can be in LF//LT, but then you get songs like Colony Collapse and A Distant Blue to a certain extent which have a lighter feel to them. Even Gravedigger and Castles In The Air don't really come close to being a heavy as songs like Nihilist or Gravity. Or maybe I'm wrong, who knows. They all sound pretty similar to me in the end.
PourOutYourSpirit 777 that's fucking rad that they start out with this. i can imagine being in the mosh pit when it started would basically fucking kill you
Some of the most powerful lyrics ever written. People who dont comprehend our choice of music. "It all sounds like screaming it doesnt make sense and i cant understand them".... Read the lyrics
I found God clutching a razor blade. He said, "Look at the fucking mess they've made. They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold, But they're as worthless as the souls they sold." I imagine Tom with a shadow telling him those words. I began to cry when i heard this song...

@@Lewis1995 check out th recent Downbeat podcast, they explain a lot, they also talk about gatekeepers like you, that say stuff like "i wish they still were grieving" you don't have to like it.
@@flowerfloc nah mate lots of my favourite bands have changed over the years and I'm fine with it bit the new album is so devoid of creativity and seems to be chasing the bmth trend and some of their lyrics are downright cringe and not like them at all, if by gatekeeping you mean not wanting one of my favourite bands fall into the radio rock route then fine I'm a gatekeeper
So sad to hear the news about Tom :( makes really fucking sad even though I didn't know him. I can't even imagine what his friends & family and especially the band must go through right now :/ You will never be forgotten Tom!
I've followed this band since Sam first joined the band and they have consistently gotten better and better with time. Whenever I think they can't possibly top their latest release they come out with a new masterpiece that absolutely conquers it. Truly geniuses at their craft. I'm honoured to have seen them grow and can't wait to see this album performed on tour.
I appreciate this album so much more now that Tom has passed. I think it's going to be a while until we see another album but that happens with a lot of bands who lose a member that way

13 june I'm going to watch them live
Maj Peterka Oh I wish. I saw them live two years ago in Portugal and they fucking KILLED IT.
Nice :)
Just saw them live and they opened up with this song. As soon as it began, the whole fucking crowd erupted. So sick

His lows on the line "Blackwater at the gates of Heaven" are insane. Hoping to see this one live.

One of their best songs ever, Plus one of the best lyrics they ever wrote! Imo
Fantastic way to open the album, punches you in the face and demands your attention. Love it.
Best opening song to an album ever
This whole album is full of intense lyrics and badass riffs. On repeat for the 1000th time.
