This is one of the bands I would be embarrassed if someone caught me playing it in my car, except The Curse or Suicide Notes… (inside joke w/ @Penlab)
I don't even know what their consensus "best" is. At one point in time, Deathgrip was my favorite album. Lead Sails was fun about half the time, and I checked out after that.
Lead Sails and Death Grip are both good, no doubt, but The Curse is top top tops. the video for 'Right Side of the Bed' was on Fuse like 10x a day lol
I'm actually surprised at positive comments here regarding Lead Sails. I mean, I like it, but I just assumed that was where most people tuned the band out cause they went more commercial.
I mean, it was for me. I'm probably a little more forgiving of it now than I was as an edgy teenager when it came out though.
For anyone interested, I had vocalist Brandon Saller and guitarist Dan Jacobs on my podcast recently and that episode came out today. We talk a bunch about the EPs and new album, but also look back at their 25 year career. EP #81 - Atreyu (Dan Jacobs & Brandon Saller)
The Curse and Death Grip were huge for me in HS. Lead Sails was alright, this is the most I’ve been coming back to the band since then though. Cannot get enough of these songs for some reason!
