Studio version of "Thieves" floating around on everyone's favorite leak site.

 

???

 

Kingdom Leaks

 

Is it as good as Music for Cars

 

Quality was terrible, but I liked.

 

Havent really been in to any of the 3 released so far. I mean, theyre cool for what they are but there is definitely something missing.

 

I just think it's a different style than Jesse's. Kyle is a much more aggressive drummer and there isn't such a focus on the melodic aspect. I haven't been blown away by the songs either, but I still like them a lot and am happy with a different take.

 

every time i see this thread i check for this kind of content

 

I disagree on the part of the melody, I mean there's even singing in Bouquet. Brendan has said in interviews they basically wanted to write some straight up bangers and so far they've delivered.

 

new songs fucking rip, that's for sure

 

They have that spoken word part and about 15 seconds of that bridge that leads back into the chorus, but that's really the only aspect of the new songs that resembled Jesse's writing to me. Again though I don't think it's a bad thing, the energy is there and it sounds like a full swing from the band as a whole as opposed to how much Jesse's leads used to stand out.

 

Its not just the melody thats missing for me though. The band used to have more of a hardcore edge. I heard an interview with Blake where he said his favourite band was Killswitch Engage and I think that influence shows in these new songs. Not to mention Brendan's lyrics being a bit lacking so far, but hopefully the rest is a bit different.

 

Swim Beneath My Skin is available on Apple Music. My favorite track so far.

 

Love all 4 songs out but I think No Servant is my jam. It's groovy man (wiger peace signs)

 

Counterparts - Ryuji Shirt + Digital Album Download

bought this immediately

 

....and here we go!

 

it is like a "greatest hits" album. Touches parts of all of their records. On my first listen, I was thinking combination of the john locke/to the grave split + difference.

 

I love this band. This might be their best. Brendan is great.

 

You've heard the whole thing?

 

It's leaked

 

Mmmm wondering if I wait the week or not.

 

I rarely bother with leaks these days and I'm still listening to the End(Brendan's other band) a lot, so I think I'll wait

 

End is really good, been a very long time since I felt a band with tenacity in all sections like that. Since early Trap Them I feel.

 

Just heard Haunt Me for the first time. My least favorite so far.

 

Yeah Haunt Me is a weak song but it's saved by the drumming for me to not worry about skipping it when I'm listening.
