You know what, now that I re-familiarize myself with their backlog....
I love Kurt Travis and all, but I think it's better that he quit after not liking the direction they were going on. He can keep doing his thing, but these guys have evolved and I think they're better for it.

If it wasn't for the last four songs, this would be a hard 2. This is just so bland, and all the songs on the first half blend together. That spoken word shit isn't necessary either
|

The last four songs are the only reason I gave this a 2.
|
| |
I like the first half much more than the second. Second half blends together a bit, makes for a cool climax but still kinda sounds blurry

Why is everyone shitting on The Sound Of Us? The last minute of that song rules

Yeah, besides the last half of the record, the singles were my favorite songs
|
| |
Sound of Us is by far the best song on the album
|
| |
The problem with The Sound of Us is that it builds up to nothing. The buildup is followed by the chorus again while you're (or I was, atleast) expecting something more to happen.

I think the title track might be my favorite album closer next to Tesseract's Seven Names. I just wish I loved the rest of the album as much as I adore that track. It's melodically perfect.

Sound of Us is by far the best song on the album [2]

I actually like the first half of the album. Maybe it's just that the lyrics hit home a little for me since I recently went through a loss. But I also thought there were lyrical gems throughout the album. I thought they creatively danced around the subject of loss and recovery from said loss. They are a little more straight forward than on No Place, but I don't think that makes them bad.
|

Also, The Sound of Us is one of my favorites for the climax. It was just emotion portrayed when it comes in and Cory belts out "It wasn't easy finding something to live for"

A few songs have grown off of me but I still love a lot of this. The title track is still my favorite of last year. Maybe of the last few years. I'd get the lyrics tattooed on me if it weren't for the fact that every single lyric resonates with me and I don't have that much free skin.
In the past 6-7 years I've struggled with a lot of anxiety problems. My whole life, actually. But it got really bad in 2011 when I'd matured to a point to finally conceptualize death and the end of consciousness. And like most people, you have a bit of an existential crisis, then get over it. Mine lasted a long time and came closer to a depression. I didn't get over it, and have been over-thinking it for years, and probably will until I die. Some experiences with mushrooms softened it a bit.
Since then I've tried to spin it positively and savor my life as much as possible, but every now and then the anxiety takes root in the place of that positivity and I get into a bad place in my head.
I look at a record like this and appreciate it so much. It's not mind-blowing in any metric I can point to. But there's a quality to it that just resonates. Then we hit the final track where Cory sums up all of that frustration and fear that dominates my mind from time to time. No song has ever done this to me. I just feel really connected to it. More so than any other of the countless songs out there that about death.
If I could justify it any better, I would 5 this album because of the title track. It's perfect to me.
So here's a case of it being wildly subjective, like most music. As a song it is what it is, it's fine. But combine its themes and haunting melodies and atmosphere, and it's very important to me. I really might get "DIVISI" tattooed somewhere on me some day. Consultation with an artist is booked : )
