Man one listen through and I don't dislike it I guess but it's really not Silverstein to me. Will give it a chance to grow but meh. Last two don't do much for me. Dead Reflection obliterates the last two and that's lower tier Silverstein for me. Shipwreck, Wind Shifts, Alive. Those are the best for me.
Meh, it's ok, mostly pretty forgettable. I liked the opener, Ultraviolet, and the closer, the rest I can't really remember what it sounded like. I'll be the sole person here to say I was much more into the last album
I'm biased because they're my favorite band, but every Silverstein album is at least an 8/10 for me. Like y'all are dissecting what you like and don't like, and talking about what's "really heavy" and Shane's melodic habits, and I'm just sitting here like: "New 'stein. Nice!"
Only had the chance to spin the whole album once so far and it’s not bad. Need more time to digest before I decide how good it is for them. Did anyone else feel like Mike from TDWP was underutilized in his song? Was stoked for the feature and then I barely even noticed it.
Not such a big fan of this new album. I absolutely loved A Beautiful Place to Drown after not being into anything between that and the masterpiece that is A Shipwreck In The Sand.
This album gets better with each listen. Better than the last record, significantly better than fartwater Dead Reflection. Not close to Wind Shifts, I Am Alive or Shipwreck though. I can see this new one becoming my go-to Silverstein album, has some good hooks, riffs and a variety of stuff going on.
It's too early for me to start ranking this with their other albums but I agree it is consistent. Don't love the closer though.
silverstein are an interesting band because they'll release concept records with a lot of thought put into them or release records that just satisfy trends. if you could build a perfect silverstein record with 15 tracks spanning throughout their discography, what would it be consisted of?
Trying to focus less on hits and more on encompassing songs that best achieve different things they do, I arrive at: Giving Up Idea of March If You Could See Into My Soul A Shipwreck In The Sand Good Luck With Your Lives In Memory Of Massachusetts In A Place of Solace Departures Je Me Souviens Ghost Aquamarine Shape Shift Don’t Wait Up deluxe edition would have (the ones that made the first cut): Discovering The Waterfront You’re All I Have Stand Amid The Roar One Last Dance Dancing On My Grave Late On 6th Lost Positives Where Are You Cold Blood Also new record continues to grow with each listen. It’s very good.

Nope, I feel the same. I liked those three songs also. The last record has found a consistent spot in my rotation and I think is way stronger than this one overall.
Been listening to Misery all weekend and yeah… I think this just beat Dead Reflection for my favorite record of theirs. The only tracks I view as slightly weak are It’s Over and Bankrupt but even those are better than most of the songs off the last record so I can’t complain.
Quick thoughts: A Beautiful Place to Drown > Dead Reflection > Misery Made Me. I need more time with Misery. The animated album cover on Apple Music is pretty cool.
I personally think this is one of their weaker records after a few listens. It's Silverstein, so I'll keep trying but nothing has really grabbed me here.
Wind Shifts Shipwreck Dead Reflection Waterfront Misery Beautiful Place to Drown I Am Alive Rescue Arrivals Short Songs Broken This is where I'm at right now. New album could go up a bit with time.
Misery Dead Reflection Shipwreck Arrivals Wind Shifts Waterfront Beautiful Place to Drown I Am Alive Broken Rescue I seriously love this new album.
Wind Shifts Discovering The Waterfront Shipwreck When Broken Dead Reflection Rescue I Am Alive Arrivals & Departures Misery A Beautiful Place To Drown At the moment this is where my heads at.
I Am Alive Dead Reflection Beautiful Place Wind Shifts Shipwreck Waterfront Arrivals Misery Broken Rescue A lot of them are pretty close, but I'd say my top three are in a different tier.
