Loathe - I Let It In And It Took Everything (February 7, 2020) Album • Page 5

That band is like a fever dream to me. I still remember every section of Smokahontas like its scripture.

 

Okay Gored... Jesus Christ

 

Yeah I don’t hear risecore here, I here the more nu metal influence a la Vein, and maybe some Code Orange at parts. But yeah, the Deftones vibes are the best part here. This album is great, but the next album could REALLY be something special.

 

Not to beat the “this sounds like” horse too much but I can’t not mention how I thought maybe Gored was the last track due to the minute long Deafheaven impression that followed it, haha. Had me thinking it went to “Loathe Radio” on Spotify or something

 

Okay yeah I like this

 

I'll be interested to see how I feel about this in a couple of months. It could be top ten of the year or it could just be a good record showing real promise for the future. Can't tell right now.

 

THIS IS A GREAT RECORD. APPRECIATE IT.

GORED RULES. SO DOES THE SONG FOLLOWING IT

 

this is very cool. Is it Really You? strikes me the most right now

 

that black metal intro in Heavy is the Head... is pretty wild.

 

big O’Brother vibes from 3:40-end of the title track

 

coming around on this whole thing - some wild stuff on here

 

Just wrapped up my first listen and I enjoyed this. I found myself more into the songs that we atmospheric/melodic, or had a balance of that and their heavy/aggressive sound, more than I did the songs there just straight up heavy/aggressive jams, but I liked this overall and I’m looking forward to spending more time with it to see how my thoughts change over time

 

Definitely agree w that - they do a super good job of balancing atmospheric and heavy

 

this is so good

 

i listened to this on the drive home yesterday with a trillion giant snowflakes falling all around and it was a surreal experience

 

Similar-ish band (more post-hardcore tones and vibes), but figured some people may dig.

 

This is kind of losing its taste for me already.

Two-Way Mirror and New Faces In The Dark are my favourites at the moment. I think the experiments work best on those songs.

Having said that, the dreamy vocal production is too much for me at times - a bit more vocal definition would be much preferable in places. The more straight up heavy songs are cool but are kind of washing over me.

 

Here’s most of their London set. I was gutted to miss this show (was at the Menzingers that night) but my god after watching this I need to catch them next time round.

 

7.8 on the fork. you love to see it.

 

whoa they reviewed this?? no way I thought that would happen

 

Loathe: I Let It In and It Took Everything

 

Very cool. glad this is getting the recognition it deserves as more than some generic metalcore album

 

i was looking for a review the other day and was honestly surprised they hadn't

 

Yeah I’m glad to see Pitchfork covering this so positively!

 

holy shit. where has this band been my whole life
