Fleshwater - 2000: In Search Of The Endless Sky (September 5, 2025) • Page 5

album is good. last escape is peak.

saw fleshwater, vein, living weapon, and koyo play a one off in jacksonville maybe three years ago in a 100 cap room. probably after FYA. insane lineup. love fleshwater but anticipating vein's next move always.

 

first impression was this dissapointed me

will listen again

i loved their ep

 

I've cooled on this just a tad but still really enjoy it. It's tough to top something like WNHTBL tho. Stoked to catch them on tour later this month. Has anyone been to any stops so far?

 

I’m gonna try to go to the Boston date. Sadly I haven’t had any desire to return to this after my first listen.

 

Sundown is probably one of my favorite songs of the past month. Was jamming this still for a while but now other releases have taken over.

 

Their songs hit harder live. Maybe seeing them next week will reinvigorate my love for them. I just love Vein so much that any other project release from this group is underwhelming.

 

Stoked to see them on Sunday. This album still slaps

 

Anyone interested in half price tix for show in cville tomorrow? Got a friend looking to get rid of 2.

 

I've seen a lot of growing acts lately that alleviate the heavy lifting of actually performing their songs to a backing track, so they can focus on "the performance" (aka trying to look cool) aspect of the show. Considering the backing tracks consisted of easy to play guitar instrumentals and their having three guitarists, shit like this is disappointing. Meanwhile, Chat Pile's one guitarist is damn near carrying the sound of the band live on his back.

Live shows lately have been really bumming me out lol

 

What?

 

Folks don't have to play their songs anymore as long as they look cool on stage

 

You’re saying the band does that?

 

Yeah, they have a guitar backing track interwoven throughout the whole set

 

Hmmmm. When I saw them with Deftones/TMV I honestly didn’t notice that at all.

 

I suppose it's not a surprising element for them to implement, considering Vein had a DJ on stage every time I saw them, but most of it could have been easily accomplished with the instruments they had. An example being the beginning of Drowning Song. The whole intro was a backtrack. I understand using a quick track to tune up, transition, readjust, whatever but this was not the case.

 

I didn't pay enough attention (or the backing track didn't bother me for Fleshwater; it has in other cases) but yes, Luther is great and Chat Pile rules.

 

Oh my god lmao, hilarious thing to complain about.

 

I love spending money to hear someone press play on the album at a higher volume. You're right king

 

If their whole set was tracked, you’d be right with that assessment but… a guitar track sometimes throughout? Cmon

 

The initial comment was a generalized complaint of performances I've seen lately (ranging from growing hardcore bands to pop acts). Fleshwater just so happened to sorta fall into that category

 

Fleshwater probably aren't even top 500 bands where over-reliance on tracks is a problem gimme a fuckin break

 

jfc

 

I would be shocked if the guitarists of Fleshwater were merely miming over a full backtrack
