More than anything else, this album proves how much Tyson Stevens carried the band throughout their existence. I sorta wished they would have done something with the songs they were doing for that shelved RCA album than have made this. Also what a massive letdown from their s/t in 2007, christ almighty.
It sucks when you have barely listened to a band in years, come back to them and then realise they suck.
When I listened to “the dark” for the first time, I verbally spoke “the fuck? Are you serious?”
P.S. for those who hate the rest of “First Class” (aka anything but the hook); here's a version with just the hook:

And honestly, please just stop using the name, or rename yourselves something like “Skeletons of Scary Kids” (a la “Vapours of Morphine”, with the ex-members of Morphine); using the exact same name when you’re not the same band is basically offending and trampling over your own legacy. i wouldnt have thought a band would have been so self-destructive, intentionally or not.
Tentative review titles: Scary Kids Scaring Fans Away, Out of Originality/Ideas, How not to do a tribute album: 2022 edition, Strait DOWN, "Out of the spotlight, desperate for attention", A severe lack of self awareness, You’re So Last 2007
BAD SONGS: Nightmare, The Dark, New Morning, I Wanna Know (offensively boring), Escape From My Reality (christ, mod sun), Omens
EH/BORING SONGS: Until You Come Back, For Atlas
GOOD SONGS: To The Unknown, Knock It All Down, Black Hole, Endlessly Yours

Good review. The idea of Scary Kids without Tyson seemed like a bad idea, but i thought "Loved Forever" showed enough promise that they might could actually make something work.
This just didn't pan out at all though, and your review pretty much echoes most of my thoughts. I will say I absolutely love Black Hole and it reminds a lot of something off the self-titled album. Its a good example of what could've happened if they didn't try to shape the sound of these songs around the guest vocalist and stuck to what they knew how to do best.
also a small correction but Omens has Spencer Chamberlain from Underoath not Spencer Charnas

i only checked tracks 5-9 and thought knock it all down, black hole and i wanna know were pretty good, altho i wanted to like i wanna know more since jesse is capable of much better. the cove and spencer songs sucked tho and i have no interest in jamming the rest of this

I mean I'm gonna follow some of these featured vocalists now anyway because I actually found some of them to be pretty interesting ones to follow. But I doubt that was the band's intentions

When I heard the first single, I didn't really enjoy it, but it wasn't so bad for me to dismiss this album. But after hearing the second and third, I knew it was in route to be a gigantic stinker, but it also made me a bit mad.
The fact that they could release something so detached from what they used to be and show no tribute to Tyson whatsoever is beyond unacceptable. Nothing here reflects what they used to be, and trying to cash in on that just leaves a really nasty taste in my mouth.
Fuck this album. It does not exist.

I've listened to like 5, 6 tracks off this, they were all really boring. Sometimes even the guest vocalists seemed uninterested.

Honestly I have no clue why SKSK thought releasing nightmare and escape from my reality apart from wanting clout. honestly makes my blood boil because they're both two of the worst songs here.
why couldnt they release stuff they knew old fans may have wanted? because in terms of singles that wasn't really offered
|
| |
Even so, I would still like to listen to it.

personally: i'd probably revisit the good stuff at some point. again i wasn't dismissing the entire record but ehhhh it bothers me and leaves a bad taste when adding context
i'm not stopping anyone though
|

oh
I think this's a good review. It helps me lower my expectation, but still want to hear their new songs with the sentiment of the past.
