I think this places even with NJA for me. From Parts Unknown and Ex-Lives are untouchable in my eyes, but this is still really good. On the other hand, I tried listening to The Big Dirty at the gym and I just listened to some FPU songs halfway through. Just doesn't do it for me
The production doesn't really bother me. And it has some killer, killer songs. But I guess they don't like it because the producer was trying to make them sound like bands in the scene at that time.
I don't even know if I have a "favorite" per se. I always just play all songs on shuffle since they have like a 97% success rating with their songs.
The last two are my favorites. But that's mainly because I never really have the others the time needed to enjoy it. I discovered this band with Gutter.
After a couple weeks without really listening I put it on today during a road trip and ended up playing it 4 times in a row. Now I'm home and about to put it on again.
I've found this to be a binge and purge kind of album. I'll listen to it a bunch, then stop for a few days or a week, and then go nuts with it for a day or two again.
Certain parts of the track "It Remembers" reminds me a lot of Queens of the Stone Age. That's a great thing.
for some reason the riff reminds of "i appear missing" even though its not that similar. just the vibe
Tried this album again and have settled on loving Fear and Trembling, Petal, and the singles and that's it. I'd rank it last in their discography.
Like most of the album, the music doesn't hook me in a visceral way like the rest of their discography and there's too much singing.
After seeing this record at the top of basically everyone's AOTY list I decided to give it a shot despite never liking or understanding ETID, and wow I'm completely blown away. Sad it took me this long to listen to it because the lyrics, the music, everything about it really, is spectacular. Is the rest of ETID's discography anything like this? Perhaps I need to give them another shot because Low Teens really wrecked me.
yeah, don't think i care for metalcore in general. keith's vocals and the instrumentation really take me out, despite them being much better than their peers
Need to listen to this more. ETID are one of the best in the genre, but for some reason I haven't listened to this album that much. Just too much good stuff coming out recently.
This has fallen off slightly for me, but I still love it and it will be somewhere on my list. I still think you could make an argument for this being their best record.
Still one of my favorites from this year. It's not my personal favorite ETID album (yet) but I do think it's their most accomplished effort.
