I also like this one more, even though I did like Jets too. I'm a sucker for strings though

 

Man I'm really not into either new songs at all. I really hope this isn't going to be a predominant sound on the next record..

 

No, I think they will return to the hardcore sound. This is strictly just an acoustic EP though.

 

This is only for an acoustic EP. Buddy has said their next full length will be back to normal

 

I remember someone posting a tweet that had Buddy replying back to someone asking if this sound would be incorporated in the new record and he simply said "yes".

 

oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

No, you're remembering it wrong. Someone asked if they would go back to heavy after this and he answered with a simple yes

 

I'll have to look but if you're right then awesome but only if we are talking Renacer quality and not Thorns

 

Yes, I was hoping Thorns would
Grow on me more than it did. Renacer is still something I go back to constantly

 

The problem is that Buddy supposedly wrote all the guitars on it with no help or influence from Zach which was a huge mistake. Plus Buddy went from showing hardcore influences ("lifeboats" and all of Renacer) to literally becoming it but trying to make it Senses Fail. Hopefully the next record really steps it up.

 

Shout out to Lifeboats for being absolutely incredible.

 

What's everyone's favorite track from Renacer? I'd have to go Snake Eyes with The Path creeping close.

 

Depending on the day it's something within that run of glass/ancient tombs/frost flower/snake bite. I like heavy but I was really turned off by the sludgier parts of that record.

 

Ancient Tombs is one of my favs too! Such a great opener to that song

 

Either The Mountains and The Sea or Holy Mountain. Courage of the Knife is a close second/third.

 

Ancient Tombs, The Path or Canine were my favourite from what I remember.

 

So many good tracks on that album. Courage is up there as a favorite too, and its hard to beat the opening of Holy Mountain or the breakdown....which may be the heaviest thing they have ever done I think?

 

I love mountain and sea as a closer, some of my favorite guitar work from them. But I was in a weird music spot when it came out and I remember telling myself "this is so great and yet I don't have this song on repeat like younger me would."

 

Perhaps I'll give this record another listen today, it's been a while. Has some lows for me but definitely some good highs.

 

Definitely give it another spin. It's my favorite thing Buddy has ever done.

Really interesting read about the history of Senses Fail with interviews from past members.

Senses Fail reflect on 15 years of success, f*ckups and making genuine music - Features - Alternative Press

 

Really nice read, thanks! It's always weird to hear about how that performance on Conan had such a crazy effect on Buddy. I've watched it and its not completely terrible.

 

The picture for the article has their albums in 2 rows, thought it'd be a cool game to play: If you could only listen to one row of albums which would pick? LIEY/LINAWR/The Fire or Still Searching/Thrones/Renacer.

My favorite stretch from them is LINAWR-Renacer so its a hard pick because my 3 favs are divided up with their best being by itself.....

 

good idea! toughie though. still searching is my undisputed favorite, followed by fire/liey; i might lean towards liey/life/fire tho since theres more diversity and significantly fewer songs i'd skip. that could change tomorrow tho.
