Armor For Sleep Band • Page 17

I think the vocals are a bit hotter than what you’re used to in that chorus so it makes the guitars feel pushed back a bit. But I still think it pops. The vocal is a bit reserved for sure but I still like it a lot, I’m sure now that he’s older he probably feels more comfortable singing in his mid range and I think it sounds good here.

mix wise it’s sort of the opposite of the new MCR song chorus where the vocals are buried more but the guitars sound HUGE.

 

Yeah, I think you’re right about the vocals being a bit hotter than a typical AFS track. Maybe that’s what’s throwing me off during the chorus.

I don’t hate this but I don’t love it? Ben’s voice still seems watered down and it’s lacking the intensity of WTDWYD in my opinion. Either way, stoked the guys are back.

 

new song sounds DOPE

 

Honestly pretty impressed that this song sounds like classic AFS

 

Damn, yeah this is classic AFS alright.

Banger.

 

Hmmmm. Not sure if this one is for me, but super happy for them and glad people are enjoying it!

 

It's alright, I think.

 

Absolutely love this song. Sounds like it came straight off a 2005 sampler disc.

 

Created an album thread!

Armor For Sleep - The Rain Museum (September 9, 2022) • forum.chorus.fm

 

Love the song. Gives me a sense of their nostalgic sound with enough freshness to make it exciting.

 

Anyone see em yet on this tour? Sounded phenomenal tonight, though ben looked like he’s been awake for 40 days and 40 nights. Didn’t play anything off rain museum unfortunately but lots of great WTDWYAD choices regardless.

 

I’m going tonight. Can’t wait!

 

I think TEN was the standout band but AFS was very enjoyable.

 

Saw them back in October. Thought they sounded great!

 

im a big TEN fan but only got into them after TRTC. Unfortunately that record does nothing for me, but they sounded fantastic too and I was happy to see the crowd was very engaged.

on that note, pretty wild actually that when I saw Hawthorne heights open for armor last year, much of the crowd dissipated after HH (ngl, I was kinda surprised how big of a draw they had) and the energy was low during armor. Meanwhile in much smaller Albany last night, the crowd was wildly engaged and packed tight for both.

 

My wife and I went last night in Montclair and got there shortly after the Spill Canvas started. I was surprised how many people were there early to see them, but they sounded great. I’m not a huge fan of TEN, but they were awesome. Ace still has a great voice ,and If they had that album on vinyl I would’ve bought it. It felt like a big chunk of the crowd left after them.

For AFS, you couldn’t ask for a better set. All of DTMB and 7 songs from WTDWYAD. I will say Ben’s voice was a little off. I can’t remember if he’s always sounded like that, but his vocals noticeably were the worst of the three bands. I still had a great time and the band sounded as tight as ever
