Every Time I Die Band • Page 130

Need this. And another tour where they play Hot Damn all the way through since I'm still kicking myself for having missed that show.

 

I need it, too. It was so much heavier and aggressive.

 

Hot Damn was when I got into the band so it holds a special place in my heart. It's easily my favorite record of theirs. Probably in my top 10, definitely top 20, albums ever. I was listening to it the other day for the millionth time and it still gets me headbanging, screaming the lyrics and beating on my steering wheel from start to finish.

 

It was my first with them as well and I could totally see the guys having fun with the idea of redoing it twenty years later! That would be so tight.

 

I want all of their older albums to be remixes/remastered.

Thought I’d be reading more accounts of the Buff show!

 

Gutter Phenomenon is the one that needs it most. The songs are great live but I can’t listen to the studio versions because of how they sound.

 

Remaster ain’t going to make that album any better

 

A full re-record would.

 

Honestly whenever a band rerecords something, I usually still just listen to the original because that's what my ears have gotten used to.

 

I do the same but that’s one album I’d love to hear re-recorded

 

Now I will say, GP is the record that got me into ETID. I remember I bought it at a Best Buy along with Senses Fail’s Let It Enfold You, totally blind on who they were or how it sounded.

 

Sure, the production is really flat and makes your ears feel like a deflated balloon. However, Gutter Phenom (I don’t know why I enjoy abbreviating it to that) has some absolute rippers that are up to par with some of the best of ETID. There is no denying what doors The New Black opened for this band.

 

I can't think of one full re-recorded album that sounds better than the original.

 

GP with Big Dirtys production would be tight.

 

The Big Dirty is their best sounding album

 

I really love the the production on GP. The guitars sound like buzz saws and Keith’s screams/yells have a lot of attitude.

It’s such a distinct sounding record for that.

 

The first time I heard it I thought my earbuds had blown out haha

 

Since we kinda started talking about how we all got into this band...

It was right when Hot Damn came out. I'd never heard the name Every Time I Die before, and I came across a review that said "Every metal and hardcore kid's wet dream."

So I went and bought the album. Something I was doing less and less as CD burning/Napster was taking off.

I was into more "mainstream" metal at the time (Metallica, Pantera, Slipknot) so when I first put on "Hot Damn" I wasn't into it. I almost just wrote it off as a noisy/abrasive/weirdly structured/chaotic mess.

But since I had paid $12 for the album, it wasn't something I was willing to just toss aside and give up on. I said to myself "Give it 5 full listens before you make up your mind" - And by listen 3 or 4, I was TOTALLY on board.

tl;dr I love having ALL the music EVER at my disposal at ALL times, but thank you ETID for forcing me to expanding my horizons and forcing me to give music a chance even if it doesn't strike a chord immediately. Because most of the time, the stuff that I wind up connecting with the most, I disliked on first listen.

 

When I was 16 at my first warped tour in 2014 my friend got an Epitaph sampler with decayin with the boys on it that we would jam in his car through the rest of the summer into the fall. Saw their headliner that December (w/ the ghost inside, architects, hundredth, backtrack) and was hooked and have seen them 8 times since.

 

Jordans instagram live from last night is pretty amazing, have to watch till the end

 

My brother saw them on their Hot Damn tour and showed me the Ebolarama video and I was instantly hooked.

 

This was a little before my time, but this is from a venue that used to be in Cleveland.

 

Their best sounding albums are the two most recent, for very different reasons. FPU has this like raw, frenetic heaviness that's really brought out by the Kurt Vallou mix. Will Putney just really captures the essence of the band on Low Teens and the guitar tones are delicious.

 

I think the production and sound for FPU are my favs, but Ex-Lives is so aggressive. Love that shit.
