I guess this is a band that rarely gets mentioned in the "similar to opeth" threads, but Treading in the Wake of it All are every bit as good as To Bid You Farewell and imo better.
 
It is a Converge side project. Ambient stuff, mostly instrumentals and distorted samples etc. The ambient part is very good.
 
yawnworthless

converge blows imhotbchfyi

You know, this is what makes this forum suck. Sure if you think they're worthless or they blow, go ahead and say it, but can't you explain why? A post like the above has absolutely no value because it just makes a statement and doesn't explain it. If you type out some reasons why you think it sucks (for example boring song arrangements, crappy production, no original melodies etc...) at least you can discuss it with some other people.

Btw I don't even know these bands so this was not a fanboi defensive post.
 
why the hell does he have to explain why? if you said you didnt like Rocky 3 or cream corn, then i wouldnt fucking ask you why. get over yourself, converge really DOES suck, and him telling you a few reasons why they do isnt going to make you feel any better on this forum, stop whining.

Btw, you are making it just as bad by just complaining rather than trying to solve the problem by making positive posts...Rather than just whining about everyone elses. tbh its not like its a serious debate, nor should it be turned into one. Problem is, that you along with many others decide its a good idea to argue to the death with someone if they dont agree with your 'speech like' justifications. And everything turns into a massive argument when it never had to be...Like now.
 
^^ way to kill my thread :D

While I am not a huge fan of Converge, they do have some damn good songs like The Saddest Day for example.

I'm not complaining or whining, nor wanting to turn it into a debate, it's just that a post saying "it sucks" could be made much more useful by turning it into "it sucks cuz...". I'm not here to argue something to death nor try to change anyone's opinion who doesn't agree with me (since I don't know the bands anyway), I'm just saying it's pretty useless to make a post "this sucks" without giving your reasons why you think that certain band sucks, so that others can understand/reply/comment/whatever. Otherwise it'll turn into "the band roolz omgzors!!!", "no it suxxors you noobzors!!!", "listen to it again you fucking 1337 kvltzor!!!", etc..., while, if reasons have been given, you can say "Ok I just don't attach that much value to *insert musical parameter here* which you really need in your music, while I really search for *insert different musical parameter here*, which this band does happen to have"
 
^ you really think it ends there? several days ago i listed several reasons as to why moonsorrow is absolute ass...and i STILL had people continuing to tell me to just "keep listening" or "listen to more songs"...as if i was just missing something about a melodeath band after the 5th song. :rolleyes:

lmao @ anyone liking any metalcore band ever

converge blows get some taste

Wow you're an idiot. Have you ever even listened to them, or do you just right them off cause the image half their fanbase has? Their early stuff is somewhat typical metalcore (hence, why I don't like that stuff), but to say that about jane doe or you fail me is rediculous and I can tell you have never given them a chance.
 
yawn more boring assumptions from a typical shit taste noob trying to validate his crappy taste

I've heard jane doe, their music still consists of derivative metal riffs, horrid scream/yell core vocals, and breakdowns, which is the fucking definition of metalcore

kill yourself
