The only thing getting a grilling here is your form and your RPE. Now five more reps!

"Yeah this is a lot more immediate than Different Shades of Blue"



I agree in the sense I can immediately tell this band are creatively bankrupt, yeah



I have absolutely no use for this, despite getting a kick out of their previous material (even if said kick did diminish somewhat over time)

Album Rating: 3.3

gonna have to slap some sauce and inordinate portions of salt on those bad bois by the time they're done lfg

and uh yes this is not a creative album outside of the Poppy song and closer, *but* the songwriting is mostly competent (even given that breakdown overuse), the vox have much more personality than most acts in the scene and the prod actually sounds like real guitars are being played? not something i'll come back to, but gotta give credit where it's due relative to bands who have all the negatives but none of the positives

Album Rating: 4.5

Absolute stomper of an album, holy fuck

Fuck yeah



Finally someone teaching Johnny Booth how to DJUNDJUNDJUN without becoming some boring teen band m/

"the vox have much more personality than most acts in the scene and the prod actually sounds like real guitars are being played?"



hmm, the vox are decent but not enough sustenance to keep me going alone



the guitar sound is pretty generic HEAVY to me, but erm... I've definitely heard worse!

I love the whining vox lol

Album Rating: 3.7

After a good few listens I feel like this is slightly less compelling to me than Deeper Shade, but I really love the urgency of the whole record.



The idea that this would’ve worked better as an EP and Tear would’ve made for a better full length definitely holds water

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah agreed, I'd rather have it be a bit shorter and just have the absolute stompers remaining on the track list

Album Rating: 3.0

Find me a better breakdown than the one in Blind Faith. That shit is a 5.0 on its own.

Album Rating: 4.0

The Calm That Keeps You Awake is probably my favorite - creepy and heavy af. This album reminds me a lot of Eternal Forward Motion by Employed to Serve.

album is heavy as fuck but I think I like the previous ones more tbh. The closer is perfect though

Album Rating: 3.5

lmao since when did these guys become so beloved on rym this shit has a 4.1 on there

piece by piece, sit & mourn, and don't reach are probably my top 3 so far

Album Rating: 4.0

They just riff harder each time

Maybe a smidge below Tear and the Upon Loss singles but like this is still just grossly dense and somehow still really engaging?? For being such a one-note concept they're insanely good and finding a million different ways within the realm of beatdown to get there.



Sit and Mourn may be like, a top 3 KL track

Album Rating: 3.5

this is obv very good but the production on here is kinda goofy lol... feel like they jumped the shark a bit with that pangy snare

the production is kinda off, yeah. Also very brickwalled to me but still lacking the oomph smh. very weird

Album Rating: 3.0

I have some gripes. Nothing on this album touches the Upon Loss singles for me personally. Those make me want to run through a wall. Wish they stuck with Will Putney. We talk so much about how this band gets harder and harder yet I can barely distinguish riffs with what I'd consider over-distortion. Overall the songwriting is executed well, but I feel like I can find better "crowd movers" on their other records. That's what I'm here for at least.



Flame me, but they used the guttural on the most boring breakdown on the record.



Also, Bryan sounds great. Never understood the hate he gets. He cuts through everything and provides the perfect amount of dissonance.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

band's best



best parts of Tear and the Upon Loss singles amplified



album just sounds and feels massive in scope

Album Rating: 4.0

Album goes stupid hard. Short but sweet in its finest form, loved the features, and I love the small variations they make to their standard sound

I think Tear and Upon Loss are just a little better since they have tighter concepts, but this is about as close to a 4.5 as it can get for me without actually being a 4.5. I have it at a 4.4 in my head atm
