I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that, I am joining As I Lay Dying as a Drummer, Guitarist and Bassist. I'd like to thank Tim Lambesis for this opportunity. With heavy heart I am announcing that I have to leave As I lay Dying. I can't tell why because of NDAs, but all that matters that we had good times, and the best times, but it wasn't meant to be.
It's an AILD album, it's supposed to sound like metalcore we grew up with. How can you rate it worse than Make Them Suffer's mishmash of artificial vocals and synth?
It doesn't have to sound like thay. ABR sounds like ABR but all their albums are different. MTS was rated higher due to lyrical content and effort of at least trying something new. This just has the same song on repeat.
@@AmongTheFence I guess we disagree on everything you listed, but that's fine. To me, MTS's latest album sounds like mushy, screamy noise. Hard, intelligible vocal front and center, synth over all the instruments, pop-style heavily processed vocals in choruses. True to the band name, at least. I recommend "True Power" by I Prevail if you like contemporary mishmash.
@@nikolaninkov "true to the band name" lol I love that. The synth was a little annoying on that album. I guess my main reasoning was boredom. MTF has its many flaws but it's not as boring. Each AILD song is really good, they're just too similar for my taste.
@ That's fair. I will never be bored by an AILD release, because it's a familiar sound. I know when I want to listen to it, it hits the right mood and it's "accessible" because of that. On a completely separate level, bands that I used to like "reinventing" their sound to disguise creative bankruptcy physically hurts me. I don't want new music to remind me of the great enshittification we are living.
We gave very similar reviews here haha. Lots of songs that had cool moments but also weak moments within each other. The singles ended up being the best songs for me. Always bittersweet when that happens
@@AmongTheFence much appreciated man thank you! I enjoyed Shaped By Fire quite a bit and for me this one definitely fell short in comparison. Hoping that the next album(if we get one) will see the band shaking things up a bit

You were in the band longer than the last set of members
I liked a single song of the album that wasn't even a single but this album is so blended that I was suffering to finish it
It was a tough one to finish. I listened to it 3x and after the first it was a struggle

After hearing the singles you can tell it's all gonna be the same
Yeah I was just hoping for the deep cuts to be different!

Do you like this more than Shaped by Fire?
I just subscribed to you! I'll have to watch your review tomorrow
