Is it me?

Or does this song just hit the spot? This is one of those songs that has the arrangement I can't get over. The chorus just sounds beautiful melodic, something I don't hear often anymore in most metalcore bands.

I fucking love this band and this song. Everything about it is pure win. Nick Sampson is a god. <3

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Not a fan of the Fall Out Boy-style vocals, both stylistically and for the fact they feel out-of-place to me - it would've been much better with growls/screams IMO, at least for the verses. Also, they just about used up their yearly ration of 16th-note arpeggios. I dig the production though

 

[drew_drummer]

Fucking awful.

Echoing Drew's sentiment

Ugh, growls in this more than what's already in there for the breakdown would kill it - these guys are too good to be lumped in as another growled verse/sung chorus band.

It's been one of my favorite albums since it came out and the mix is absolutely phenomenal.

Totally agree. I admit I wasn't the biggest fan of the vocals when I first listened to it but they grew on me along with the help of the vocal melodies being pretty sweet.

Love this band - the intro to this song gets me every time.

people love to hate on IAA hurrrrr.

great fuckin band.

 

[AllanD]

Well, it's different, I'll give it that...

 

[[UEAK]Clowd]

I don't understand how anyone could dislike this. It is literally mind blowing.

 

[lolzgreg]

Even if you don't like this kind of music at all, you can't really deny the amount of talent there is in terms of the arrangement and musicianship. I love these guys

 

[Ze4th0x]

The songs kind of remind me of Periphery a bit, or just Djent in general. Maybe Djent was an influence??? Does anyone hear it too?

 

[Ola Englund]

I don't understand how anyone could dislike this.

I would claim the exact opposite... Isn't this shit for emo girls?


EDIT: now that I've forced myself to listen to this to give it a fair chance, the vocals is the key aspect ruining it all. And those Muse-keyboarding parts are just killing off whatever chorus that ever was... They should ease of on the ambient and keyboards and it would make a better song.

YOU HAVE KILLED ROCKNROLL, PERIOD!

 

[Ionei]

Dig them, dig them a fucking lot.
Love the guitar parts.
The singer.
The Drums.
Everything.
Its awesome.

That being said, I can see how people would hate them.

The same reason why I don't listen to Nevermore and such bands a lot.
The singing fucking KILLS the songs.

But with this I love the singing.

This with screaming would ruin it IMO.

 

[drew_drummer]

Guys. It is musical aids. You are self harming. You need help. This is not a healthy lifestyle choice.

 

[JeffTD]

Yup, because civil discussion is all but guaranteed with comments like that.

Big mountain range echo of drews first post
I got about 5 seconds in, not for me
I can't comment on the arrangement for obvious reasons
