Cliff notes from about halfway through: - Working on new material. Hope to have things released “sooner than later”. - Described the new material as “heavy” with a lot of “sorrow”. Said it’s a mix of old and new sounds. - Amazed fans still give them a chance after all the stops and starts over the years. Are aiming to revive their career.

I've been relistening to Fightstar's discography this week and my view on it has totally changed over the years. Initially I thought Behind the Devil's Back was their weakest album by far but now I'd probably say it's my second favourite after Grand Unification. I like the electronic elements and how heavy it is in places. One Day Son used to rank higher for me but "Unfamiliar Ceilings" is such a dud, the worst song of their career, the female vocals are so corny and cheesy and out-of-place, it ends the album on a bad note. "Zihuatanejo" should've been the closer. Grand Unification Behind the Devil's Back One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours Be Human All are great though, I still really hope we get a couple more albums from them eventually. Although admittedly it's not promising that it's now been a decade since their last release. The fact that Charlie is doing a different heavy rock project with President makes me suspect that maybe the other guys in Fightstar don't want to write new Fightstar music/revive the band fully for whatever reason.

Yeah I'm hoping for a full album this year and maybe the new Busted one next year.

Yeah I thought most of this sounds great. Some of it is kind of weird, Give Em Hell Kid in particular was one that didn’t land for me but overall I appreciate this release

Phantoms liked paythetab's post in the thread Band My Chemical Romance.

I like the remaster too! It's a bit jarring in some sections of the songs after hearing the original mix for so many years, but this gives the record a whole new shelf life. I plan to do a full article diving into all the key similarities and differences next week.

Man, this sounds...pretty great? Also very tempted to pick up that indie variant today...

Also, relevant (Gerard Way voice trust me) plug that I promise I will not do again in this thread, @troyplaysbass and I just talked about Three Cheers and the reissue on our podcast: My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge | Noise Floor

Update now that it's actually out: I still like this remix/remaster

Reminds me of this article from 2008 (I did not need to be reminded because I think about the quote below all the time): Anti-Emo riots break out across Mexico – Stilgherrian "It's a great clusterfuck for the American mind's idea of Mexico," Arellano said. "This teaches the rest of the world that Mexico is not just a bunch of cactuses and sombreros."

Despite the fact that Daron is ostensibly in control of both bands, Scars is roughly comparable to Serj's solo material. I'm not sure what that says but sometimes things can be better than the sum of their parts.

Phantoms liked Penlab's post in the thread Band System of a Down.

I like Serj's solo material more than Scars but like System more than both. It actually says something to me that Serj's releases of songs he wrote for System are the best things he's done in years.

I like this new one but it feels less dark than the first song and a bit more radio ready

Phantoms liked WhosBroden?'s post in the thread Band Fightstar.

I think they missed a trick by not unveiling Ed Sheeran under the mask, personally. I really like the new track. Chanting is awful, but the rest I can really get behind. Can’t wait to see some live videos of their set

Phantoms liked SpyKi's post in the thread Band Fightstar.

Yeah, I'm not sure these guys will ever be Fightstar good but I really like the song, aside from the dumb little "FEAR LESS" chant that definitely reminds me of the silly ones BMTH would have in their songs. Looking around, I've seen pretty much unanimous hate for the cheer part, does anyone ever like those? I don't know why bands keep doing them.

Phantoms liked Christian Romero's post in the thread Band Circa Survive.

So, I considered Circa Survive a top 3 band when I was in high school, about ten years ago. At some point, they fell through the cracks and I totally forgot about them. I think at that point, Violent Waves was their newest release? I loved it, but my tastes in music took a huge turn. With the newest L.S. Dunes album, I've been on a bit of an Anthony Green run this year and... what the hell?! How did I forget about Circa Survive?! Blue Sky Noise is full of back to back hits for me. Juturna is incredible. All of their stuff holds up so much better than I remember. And even the newer releases that I missed, The Amulet and Two Dreams are really doing it for me. Super fun to revisit this band that I once adored, forgot about, and now might love even more than I initially did?

I don't get the feeling that this is an Anthony thing, I don't see the band playing together in any iteration

I can't believe this, I never allowed myself to dream it would happen. They're one of if not my outright favourite band, I love every second of all their releases and am certain I'll love whatever this sounds like. Edit: if this turns out not to be real I will not be held responsible for my actions.

I didn’t doubt this album was going to be incredible, but the early listeners have me sufficiently hyped for the showing tonight. Will report back. From what I am reading there’s a bunch of dynamic curve ball moments, but it retains their hardcore heart and soul.
