Extremely underrated - you and me holding down the fort in the beginning haha

you won't be disappointed, the score is absolutely incredible. still think this album is probably is one of the best of the decade

Just rewatched their set from Glastonbury 2023 and it is incredible - prob my favourite from the festival over the last few years. So much personality and power. Would recommend anyone to see YF live. [MEDIA] Watching 28 Years Later this evening and very much looking forward to their score!

Also don't mean to bump the thread, but goddammit I love this band. Put them on for the first time in a long time, while working overtime to finish projects before summer holiday, coffee in hand, watching the rain outside. And I'm literally crying my eyes out no matter what song I put on. Complete happy emotional breakdown in a way I haven't experienced in a loooong time. I really hope they manage to continue, and release something new this fall or next year.

Mark Snow Dead: 'X-Files' Composer Was 78 RIP, X-Files theme is the goat

I feel validated haha. I remember Lucas27 and I disagreed on this years ago haha. I also don’t think adelaide belongs after Godspeed but the song is good. Lower on the album for me though.

Rowan5215 replied to the thread Band Anberlin.

I guess we all have a Cities chorus that bugs us for some reason lol, personally the hook on Whisper/Clamor irritates me a lot

Rowan5215 replied to the thread Genre Hip-Hop Thread.

this JID thing is only 4 tracks lmao, oh well a nice teaser for the album next month

Rowan5215 replied to the thread The Horror Thread: Part 3D.

we have almost the same top 4! can't remember the last time that ever happened lmao

Rowan5215 liked Aaron Mook's post in the thread The Horror Thread: Part 3D.

I think my top three is still Companion, 28 Years Later, and Sinners, but Bring Her Back definitely slides in the #4 or #5 spot. I like Talk to Me, but I think this one is even better. Definitely dark though, even if the ending is somewhat optimistic.

little devotional is amazing tbh

Rowan5215 replied to the thread Spiritbox - Tsunami Sea (March 07, 2025).

I've had the chorus to Keep Sweet stuck in my head for two weeks so I agree

Rowan5215 liked Supernova's post in the thread Spiritbox - Tsunami Sea (March 07, 2025).

Keep Sweet to me would be the one that catches on more. Even though its not a single. I think that chorus is massive and would have a wider appeal. (I'm pretty sure they have focus grouped and scienced the shit out of this to know way better than I would) No Loss/No Love would turn some heads in a good way.

Symphony of blase is the best song on the record

Rowan5215 liked onionbubs's post in the thread Band Anberlin.

symphony of blase wtf thats like up with the best copeland songs copeland didnt write

Rowan5215 liked contra11mundum's post in the thread Band Anberlin.

The production on dark is staggering. Kind of insane honestly. The whole intro of Art of War up until they start singing is just incredible. But yeah overall the songwriting just wasn’t there on that album. Some great songs on there though. I don’t hate any of their albums.

Rowan5215 liked Lucas27's post in the thread Band Anberlin.

Maybe I'm in the minority but Closer has one of my favorite Anberlin choruses ever. It's simple but it's epic. Whole song builds suspense so well and explodes at the right time. I listened to Dark the other day and even though I'd still consider it their 4th or 5th best overall the album sounds as crisp as anything they put out. Everything is so clear.

I know you're out there somewhere? Come where I can SEE! I see everyone's disliked song takes and I like all of said songs, ha. I need to go through this discog again and give my hot takes on worst songs.

if it is then we're just ignoring the "are you out there somewhere" bit lmao

Rowan5215 liked Penlab's post in the thread Band Anberlin.

Me too, I don't get the "bad chorus" criticisms. Is it because it's just the one word repeated? Do they need more words?

Rowan5215 replied to the thread Band Anberlin.

...I really like Closer

Rowan5215 replied to the thread Band Anberlin.

Breaking, Foreign Language, You Belong Here, the worse Feel Good Drag and Losing it All is probably my bottom 5. haven't heard any of the Marty stuff and don't intend to lol

Rowan5215 liked SpyKi's post in the thread Band Anberlin.

giving it a quick listen now and it definitely sounds better than I remember haha. I don't think I've listened to that song in years. I still don't think I like it very much but yeah it probably doesn't deserve to be on a worst list lol.

Rowan5215 replied to the thread Band Anberlin.

I see the wildest takes in this thread lmao. can't believe anyone dislikes Miserabile Visu yeah that bridge/chorus combo in the last minute is golden

Rowan5215 liked gimaad's post in the thread Band Anberlin.

Retrace is one of their better soft songs imo. The lyrics are also top notch. Top 5 lyrical bridges Stephen’s ever written

love seeing the Young Fathers love here. Dead was an album that changed my life the first time i heard it, and i'm glad they've continued working with Danny Boyle (after providing a lot of music for the Trainspotting sequel).

random 2am thought but man I wish Donald Sutherland had done more horror. absolutely goated in Don't Look Now and Body Snatchers and he... certainly showed up in Buffy lol, just a shame he didn't stick around in the genre after that. RIP king

Rowan5215 replied to the thread The Horror Thread: Part 3D.

Young Fathers are some of the best doing it rn

Rowan5215 liked estebanwaseaten's post in the thread The Horror Thread: Part 3D.

Agreed ^ Also, Young Fathers absolutely rule. Some of the music in Years reminded me of Jaws in a weird way. Not comparatively speaking to what John Williams did there, but that clash between some of the music seeming more upbeat against what is happening onscreen. That intended dissonance is clearly well thought out and effective, I agree.
