Bring Me The Horizon - Amo (January 25, 2019) Album • Page 17

BMTH has never been a very lyrical band at all to me... especially on a hooky track like this, I’m not expecting anything particularly deep. I think the lyrics are memorable enough and fit the melodies well.

 

I haven't liked the lyrics a whole lot since after Sempiternal. I feel like it went downhill from there, especially with True Friends and Wonderful Life. (Although, I did like the lyrics of Doomed and What You Need from TTS).

 

The verses on this literally sound like a Justin Bieber song lol. And I actually love that.

 

Now I'm even more intrigued, haha.

 

So probably another song Oli won't be able to sing live?

 

I really don't like this. I keep giving each album a chance but I'm betting this one also won't be for me.

 

Can he sing any of them?

 

Yeah lol Oli’s live vocals are a bit uh... dubious.

 

I think Jordan does a lot of the singing live. I could be wrong

 

hilarious how this dude relies on playbacks so often at their live shows

don't record parts you can't at least attempt to recreate live

 

this is exactly what i expected and it rules

 

Tell that to Drake lol

(In all seriousness I agree, I’m not a fan of really blatant singing backtracks, regardless of genre. I think it’s fine if you’re using them for additional vocals like a choir, since obviously most bands/artists aren’t gonna bring a full choir on tour... but if you’re basically using the backing track to replace LARGE parts of your own live vocals it’s lazy to me.)

 

This is just ok, nothing stands out too much

 

I’m okay with backtracks with a band like BMTH because I don’t care to ever hear them live.

 

This is pretty easily the best song from the album so far but it's still weaker than most of Sempiternal/TTS

 

I think this is easily the best of the 3 songs and I’m sure I’ll really like like half the record but all in all I really miss metalcore bmth.

 

The video makes me really uncomfortable, which I guess is what they were going for but I wish I listened to it first without watching the video tbh

Song's alright, didn't like it when it started but by the end it started to grow on me. Mantra is still probably my favorite of the 3 released.

 

I actually really like this. Hearing how poppy it was made me worried but I dig it. So far though I’m liking TTS more

 

Not my thing, again.

 

This is fine but Follow You did the same thing and was much better. None of the singles have impressed me. For all the talk about this album being different and diverse, I just hear a band treading waters.

 

He sounds pretty good here

 

Well that's because they backtracked the chorus chant vocals completely overpowering him, and the verses are so safely in his lower register.

It is what it is. I'm still gonna have an absolute blast at the show.

 

And a healthy dose of post-production. He has definitely progressed though, I've got to give it to Oli.

 

i enjoyed that live video quite a bit, glad he threw some ridiculous screams in there. and i actually really like medicine... it's stupidly catchy and the production sounds really good
