Knocked Loose- You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To (May 10th 2024) • Page 10

that riff in piece by piece yup yup thats what im talking about right there yessir

edit: the transition into suffocate phew sheesh

 

Yeah this album is scary. Many definitions of scary. Moss Covers All and Take Me Home are something special for this band specifically, and Piece by Piece is creeping in as one of my favorites of the discography.

Lots of thoughts. Many are good. Shall ruminate more this weekend.

 

the production has the blown out quality of a converge album it is an all out assault on the senses

 

i only listened to dont reach for me a handful of times pre release, it goes way way way way harder than i remember wtf

 

This whips super hard, pretty blown away

 

take me home is wicked, the percussion is awesome

 

Terrifying fuckin song

 

motionless in white is fucking terrible and thank god chris motionless doesnt sing on this fucking thing but yeah i could really do without slaughterhouse 2. its totally fine but its a clear outlier.

 

Knocked Loose: You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To

 

i was starting to think nothing on this was going to top the upon loss singles and then i got to sit & mourn. chef's kiss. fucking brilliant. no notes.

 

Knocked Loose: You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To review – hardcore punk’s dark stars go supermassive | Music | The Guardian

 

holy shit

 

The Chris Motionless feature is pretty easily the worst part of this, but otherwise very cool. Sit and mourn made me laugh out loud

 

i think this is pretty solid but feels kind of safe for them. singles are definitely near the top of the best songs on the album for sure. slaughterhouse 2... nah man lol

 

i dont think anything about this album is safe

 

Just pressed play on this, let's gooooo.

 

This band is the best at making me laugh because a breakdown is so filthy, disgusting, fill in your favorite gross adjective here.

 

Yeah, there’s nothing safe going on here lol. Even for them.

 

especially after playing to huge crowds at coachella and bonnaroo last year by all accounts they should've gone down a more accessible route and they came back with their nastiest sounding album yet like this thing is disgusting it is the opposite of music that makes you feel good. you dont get albums like this from bands in their position very often. its like jane doe.

 

Yeeeewww that's how you start a record.

 

I know every review is mentioning it, but it’s so cool this is blowing up when they’ve compromised absolutely nothing in order to achieve popularity. I hope more bands follow suit.

 

The beginning of The Calm That Keeps You Awake gives me mega Korn vibes and I love it.

 

In some ways I think this is more accessible, but also not in a safe way.

 

theyre also some of the most hard working down to earth dudes in the scene and have been breaking their backs for years to get to this point, all while staying true to themselves and their roots. admirable.

 

the pitchfork review put it pretty well (bolded part is the fucking truth)


And yet, none of this means that You Won’t Go is inaccessible. Giving shape to aimless rage, the illicit thrill to imagine playing it for people who have no interest whatsoever in “metal” or anything that ends with “-core,” let alone “metalcore,” the way it makes metal that actively catered towards mainstream tastes sound washed and timid. As a teenager, I remember Far Beyond Driven or Life is Peachy getting on the charts by doing similar things. Or, just go look at those Coachella and Bonnaroo sets—Knocked Loose isn’t playing to empty tents of college kids wishing they were watching Matt Maeson or Jai Wolf instead. Whether Knocked Loose fits into anyone’s perception of what popular metal should sound like, they know they belong.



def getting the korn and pantera comparisons a lot
