this band lost all of their balls

disappointing

they had balls?

have you heard tlla?

yea I'm a fan of that I'm just being flippant

idk just seems to me like they wanted to try something a little different, which is understandable from an artist's point of view. is the whole album like this?

their latest album sounds exactly like this song

they totally ditched the harsh vox

never been a huge fan of screamo so was a bit ambivalent about the harsh vox but yeah at least it gave an edge to the music. vocals here are a bit bland. could've made more stuff like liquid courage cos I love that song

I was pretty big into their new sound at first but Keep You has grown off me a lot harder than I thought it would.

Awesome song. Don't get why people dislike their new style so much. It's different and requires some patience, but their new album is fantastic if you give it some time.

The downed tempo and minimalistic instrumentals make me think this is a better version of La Dispute's latest album.

Sellouts

The fuck is genre-baiting

Song was good. Their last album was pretty great but I've yet to really indulge in TLLA at all yet.

video is very nice



song is only ok

Once upon a time this band was good.

meh

Good song.

This person speaks the truth.

Great song. MovMou is probably my favorite band ever, so I can def. dig this style.

Will never understand why people think that Band Name Single is an acceptable news article header

What a strange band name

I had only listened to a couple of their old albums a few times, but liked it enough that I was excited for more and I tried real hard to get into Keep You, but it was so boring. Every song sounded pretty much the same. The single was okay.

"this band lost all of their balls"

While I can understand why you're saying this, as the band is nowhere near as aggressive musically, I think they've only developed more "balls" by the direction they took with their music.

Honestly, I do not understand how a significant amount of their fan base does not hear the similar emotional build-up in their newer material as compared to their old. I almost consider their newer stuff to be more impacting.

^^^^^

Way too long and dragged out. KY was much better. Really glad this wasn't on it.

I don't feel any emotional buildup, just stagnant staleness.

I feel sorry for you. What I hear is polar opposite of that.

this is such a boring shit. can they just stop making this extremely slow depressing emotionless bullshit. cant believe they were a good band once. then keep you happened and now this. ugh

"depressing emotionless"

bit of an oxymoron there bud.

Seriously what is Genre-baiting? Song sounds like most of the other songs on Keep You. Not in a bad way, just could've been on the album. Nice video too.

no its not. its depressing yes. but its so stale and sounds so forced (uuuh come on lets be all emotionalll cause we jumped on the emo revival bandwagon uuuh we are so special noooow look at uss we do something soooo original) it doesnt make me feel anything at all. it basically just annoys me big time

Well you said "...depressing emotionless..."

Not sure how something is emotionless when it's depressing.

Nothing about this sounds forced, and I find it hard to believe a band such as this would force themselves to do something they didn't want to do, just to jump on a so-called "revival bandwagon." Every interview that I've read on the band basically states the band does what they want, for themselves. Kyle Durfey writes about very troubled AND depressing points in his life. He's not struggling to come up with emo topics to try and make the band fit into a specific category.

If it annoys you, stop listening to it. Go listen to their old shit that doesn't annoy you. Seems pretty simple.

maybe it depresses him how emotionless it is.. but then he says it doesn't make him feel anything at all, so that can't be it either.

They really do have the most depressing lyrics of any band I've ever listened to though. I couldn't imagine what that would be like to slowly lose my dad to a disease and then sing about it in front of a room full of strangers. It might be therapeutic, but I can't pretend to know.

@Dungeon: "Genre-baiting," above all, was a joke/cop-out. Basically, I figured if I put "emo-turned-alt" (or what have you), half of the ensuing thread would be full of needlessly aggressive shouting matches and blind alleys about genre classification. Which I may just as well end up sparking with this comment--so just in case, I preemptively apologize for how inaccurate my above example may have been.

I don't know man, i think they were more like post-hardcore/screamo turned post-emo/alt.. but whatever.. ;) thanks for clearing that up

This guy gets it!

This song is amazing.

I feel like everyone is missing the point that they didn't write this album for anyone else but themselves. Their past albums were about agony, this is about letting go. I appreciate the new direction and what Kyle wanted to represent in the memory of his father.
