Didn't like the last album, and along with LIEY it's my least favourite of their albums, but at this point they've earned my trust and I'll listen to anything they put out at least a couple of times. Renacer is a good gym album though. Used to have that, Gallows' Grey Britain, and Turnstile's Non Stop Feeling on heavy rotation.
Whether it's Instagram or Twitter Buddy will usually reply to fans questions about the band and most recently the new album. Hard to keep up on for sure.
Now that a heavier SF is out the window for this album, I think there is still a chance of the poppier songs sounding good. The EP songs (minus War Paint) were all lighter but good, and same with songs like Hold On and Garden State. That being said, man I've always thought they excelled with heavier stuff..........
I think it's funny that Buddy uses the "good place" excuse for why it isn't heavier sounding. Dude made such a big deal about being in a much better place around Renacer, and he tried to spin it as heavy music with positive and hopeful lyrical content. He's always going back and forth. I hope this album is great, but my favorite songs by SF are the heavier ones off of Waiting Room / Fire, so it's pretty clear to me what sound I enjoy most from this band and it's the one they're avoiding right now.
I agree, he made it seem like Senses Fail was a heavy band now with positive lyrics. He also said that Bayonet was no longer needed because of that reason. I'm guessing the nostalgia that came back during the Still Searching tour had to have been the motivation behind it.
I thought he started Speak The Truth specifically to revisit that older sound. Definitely not stoked for this record now since I was way into their last two heavier albums.
Renacer and PTTFYH are the only two albums I like from this band. I consider Senses Fail one of my favorite bands even though I only like 2 of their albums, so that should say how good those two albums are.
Do you not like any other album as a whole, or not like any songs from other albums? If you like the heavier stuff, I think you'd like Lifeboats, Lungs like Gallows, New Years Eve, War Paint and Irish Eyes for earlier albums.
Apparently the lyrics are gonna be like The Fire, which I thought were probably some of his best lyrics. So that's definitely something to look forward to
According to Senses Fail if you like Through Being Cool (Saves the Day), Bleed American (Jimmy Eat World) and Tell All Your Friends (TBS) you will like the new album because it will be similar to those and the sound of the album is more Blackout, Fireworks at Dawn and Yellow Angeles and its being recorded as a 3 piece
Those three songs are great, and I definitely like that side of Senses Fail. I'm very interested/scared for the record though.
Same, those songs are great but those songs were written by great musicians. The 3 piece part lets me think this is going to be another Thrones situation where the music wont be that engaging.
I hope not, but I definitely do have that fear, as well. Also not sure how I feel about an entire album with those type of songs.
Wasn't Buddy getting back to writing with Dan and/or Garrett a few months back? What ever happened to that?
