05.10.12 | some of these are good. life changing? not in my opinion |
Chrisjon89
05.10.12 | Love 1. Like 2 alot and have alot of respect for that band.
I've only given it one chance but I wasn't that keen on 10. |
SpiritCrusher2
05.10.12 | totally agree with 1
and chrisjon, give 10 a few more listens, it took me almost a year to fully appreciate that album lol

05.10.12 | TheSpirit: life changing for me, and my recommendation for heavy music fans (Altough I think no.1
was a life-changer for many people!)
About Cave In, you´re right man, it does take a couple more listens. Every time I go into it I always
find a new layer of sound I didn't think was there! Replay value: 10/10. |
hluch
05.10.12 | I wouldn't say Dance Gavin Dance's Downtown Battle Mountain is life-changing, but it is definately one of my favorite post-hardcore albums. Antlion, The Backwards Pumpkin Song, and of course, Lemon Meringue Tie are my favorites. Also, 12 Hours, 630 Miles is beautiful. I need to give that Poison The Well album a listen... |
BigBlob
05.10.12 | Jane Doe - "Best album of the decade."
HAHAHA |
Dolving999
05.10.12 | BigBlob, lock yourself in a room, put Jane Doe on and have the lyrics in front of you.
There's nothing quite like it. |
BigBlob
05.10.12 | No thanks. I think the album is awful. Sorry. |
Katechon
05.10.12 | "favorite bands
Rammstein,"
Stop there. |
BigBlob
05.10.12 | Sorry for disliking music that you guys like. I will only listen to Converge from now on and rate all their albums 5 stars on Sputnik. Thanks for the help. |
Katechon
05.10.12 | You sound mad. |
BigBlob
05.10.12 | Insane mad or angry mad? Both? |
Veldin
05.10.12 | chill bruh |
SgtPepper
05.10.12 | The Dark Side Of The Moon changed my life. The lyrics of "Time" really made me look at life in a different light. |
Dolving999
05.10.12 | Dudes, calm down! Everyone has their own taste, I happen to have a very weird one lol
Paperback: Funny you mentioned that album, I listened to it time and time again and still can't get quite into it. I think it may be because I wasn't born anytime near its release, and nowadays I'm used to heavy and fast :( |
TheJackal
05.10.12 | 'Many people don't even pay attention to lyrics'
hardcore music is all about the lyrics |
TheJackal
05.10.12 | also 1,3,6 rule...
still need to check out 10 |
DotEight
05.10.12 | 5 is definitely not life-changing lol. 6, 3, 2, and 1 though fuck yeah. |
Dolving999
05.10.12 | TheJackal, I think that sentence was a bit misleading, already edited.
Of course the lyrics are important. What I was implying was that on this particular album, Jane Doe,
most people don't give a shit about lyrics ( you know, because Jacob Bannon's screams are
"indecipherable" or some other shit people give as an excuse not to read the brilliant lyrics). |
TheJackal
05.10.12 | yeah fair enough, and tbf they are pretty indecipherable
one of those albums where you just have to look up the lyrics, even though it's still impossible to follow even with the lyrics in front of you! |
Dolving999
05.10.12 | Totally man! That's why I've subscribed to this Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ConvergeLyrics
The dude basically has got most of their songs with timed lyrics, already figured out. No excuses now haha |
TheJackal
05.10.12 | cheers, ive seen a few of those videos before...
just subscribed :) can't fucking wait for the new album |
bloc
05.10.12 | 9 actually did change my life |
Dolving999
05.10.12 | Hopefully they'll release it before August, because at that time I'll be seeing them live in Spain and they should play a couple of the new ones :D |
YankeeDudel
05.10.12 | Whats the point of lyrics if you cant understand them?
Im not reading along and memorizing them like Im doing homework. Either I can understand them or I cant. Otherwise who really gives a shit? |
TheJackal
05.10.12 | Im hoping to go to Hevy fest in the Uk where theyre headlining the second stage. gonna be mental |
SpiritCrusher2
05.10.12 | "Whats the point of lyrics if you cant understand them?"
to give a meaning to a song? if you want to sing along listen to pop-punk or something |
TheJackal
05.10.12 | ^^^ what he said |
Dolving999
05.10.12 | Yankee, that is what makes the lyrics so special to me. People who are not fans of the band might argue that all Jacob Bannon does ( both on studio and live) is scream over the music. Well I say, not understanding the lyrics the 1st time raises your curiosity, so you end up paying more attention to them and eventually they mean much more to you than you ever tought possible. IMHO, that's the reason there are so many harcore Converge fans around here. |
Dolving999
05.10.12 | Jackal, Hevy is actually very similar to Resurrection! Hum let's see... from all the bands in Hevy, I'd like to have Glassjaw, Deaf Havana, Rolo Tomassi, The Safety Fire and Hawk Eyes. Wanna trade for some band that catches your eye on the current Resurrection line up? lol |
YankeeDudel
05.10.12 | Okay Dolving thats fine for a song or two but most extreme metal bands you cant understand one word they say. Do you actually take the time to study all the lyrics for all of them, or do you just treat the vocals as "another instrument"? Converge actually have good lyrics but most extreme metal bands dont and arent even worth learning. It just seems like a fuckin chore to me.
Im not sayin dudes have to sing likey're in a power metal band, but at least make the lyrics semi understandable if they care so much about them. Most people cant even follow Bannon's lyrics along anyway. Jane Doe is a good album but yea. |
DotEight
05.10.12 | "Whats the point of lyrics if you cant understand them?"
If you learn how to adapt to the tone, you can understand any screaming. It just takes practice.
Like I have no problem understanding Northlane's lyrics. |
Dolving999
05.10.12 | That's Deathcore for you haha
Actually, lyrics are one of my favorite components of a song. I'm a singer/guitar player in a band, and when I write a cool riff or even a cool song, I can't put the song out without figuring out some genius lyrics to go with that.
When it comes to Converge, I'm such a fanboy that I'll do just that, spend the whole day figuring the freakin lyrics lol I assume I'm a minority here, though. |
mangasm
05.10.12 | Fucking Converge. |
