Saosin - Along The Shadow (May 20, 2016) Album • Page 64

Anthony's take is the correct one.



All their albums are at least "good." And three of them are great.

 

I truly cannot understand the hate towards self titled. Is it just because people don't like Cove's vocals, despite sounding similar to tons of popular singers on this site?

 

Yes, I think Cove's voice is bad, very bad.

 

also the songs are bad.

 

The songs fucking rip gdi

 

What a wild take heh. You're Not Alone and Voices are such good singles

 

Cove's vocals irk me at times on the album when the vocals are obviously way too high (It's So Simple and Voices come to mind specifically), but the album overall is so tight

 

not bad. just boring for me. they genre shifted to something that was pretty conventional alt rock. wasnt what i was looking for. the 2 best tracks were already released as demos before the album came out. it had nothing to do with cove for me.

 

You're Not Alone is by far my least favorite thing this band has ever released, that chorus is so grating and it's the kind of cheesy I just hate, and I listen to a LOT of cheesy shit

 

Anthony Green, correct. Steve, wrong since 2005.

Neeexxxxt

 

You’re Not Alone is a skip for sure, but that album is banger after banger apart from that. (I also dislike Finding Home)

 

Finding Home is truly whatever

 

Just happy to see Saosin being talked about.

 

All I want is to see them live and for them to play Bury Your Head with AG on vocals

 

The first time I heard Bury Your Head I lost my fucking mind. I couldn’t listen to anything else for weeks. Perfect song.

 

That one's pretty good, but I only ever really listen to the demo of it instead of the album version

 

Obv the first time I heard it was the demo haha

 

I just hope they put out some new stuff, crazy that it’s been almost 6 years since Along the Shadow.

 

Can we all agree that I Can Tell is a fuckin banger?

 

BLINK IF YOU HEAR OUR SIGNAL
OUR HANDS DRIP WET WITH BLOOD FROM
CLAPPING WHEN
YOU HEAR THE COMMAND
THE SPARROW ATE OUR BREAD TRAILS
GO EAST ALONG THE SHADOWED MOUNTAIN SIDE
IF YOU WANNA STAY ALIVE

 

How that and drinking from the fountain didn’t make the standard LP is one of the strangest things to me.

 

legitimately one of the best choruses I've heard in my life

 

Takes incoming:
-did not know people existed that didn’t adore s/t until this thread recently started picking up lol. The vocals are fine for the scene and the record is largely hit after hit. Surprised more aren’t vouching for Sleepers!
-you’re not alone and voices are dreadfully boring songs though, especially the former
-ISOSG is both underwhelming and underrated. There are plenty of strong entrants to their discog there.
-AG’s vox on TTN are near the tippy top of the most iconic in the scene. Probably gives the EP the edge over s/t but cannot understate how strong most of the songs are

 

TTN only has an EDGE over s/t? You’re right, that’s a take ha. I’ve said it before, but I can easily picture myself as an 80 year old man years down the road, throwing in translating the name and STILL thinking “these five songs are among the most badass songs I’ve ever heard.”
