@williek311

plz tell me yr a 311 fan

 

yeah

 

fuck yes - I appreciate that

 

Listening to some Ink & Dagger to get into the spirit of the season.

 

I had never heard of them

loved what I listened to rn

crazy synth/organ - loves the lofi production! thx!

 

Dude Ink & Dagger are minor legends. They did a reunion with Geoff Rickley on vocals about 5 years ago it was sick.

 

really enjoying the recs you guys gave me - particularly I&D and Red Death

 

You guys like that new Knocked Loose?

Not sure how I'm feeling. Leanin towards a no from me.

 

Damn trying to find some new hardcore because I don't listen to as much I want to and I gave that Turnstile another chance.

Damnnnn that's nice

 

It's the only album I listen to when I drive now.

 

It's so overhyped and no matter how much I listen to it I can't understand what's supposedly so great about it.

 

If you're not into then it might just be a bit too on the nose for you when it comes to hardcore/metalcore. I personally love the vocals, lyrics and all more than anything, and think they made beatdown parts fun again. Album doesn't blow me away but I am definitely a fan.

 

I don't enjoy it and some people do and that's fine, what really puzzles me is some of the comments I've seen about it. Some guy I know that "doesn't listen to modern hardcore because it's all shit" absolutely loves it and I saw a review somewhere saying that "they're pushing genre boundaries" or something like that. So I kept going back to it to see if it suddenly clicked with me but it didn't... Just sounds like generic beatdown to me(instrumentally, not vocally).

 

That knocked loose shit is terrible if you ask me.

 

Yeah I don't think it's groundbreaking. I think unfortunately, a lot of people casually liking something and them garnering a decent fan base in a short amount of time makes people perceive that attention as something bigger. I don't necessarily think they're generic, I can certainly decipher them apart from many hardcore bands that sound much too similar right now, but I see your point.

 

I keep seeing that name and I'm getting the vibe that it sounds like Expire/STYG/Stray from the Path, which is not my shit at all

 

I saw them open that tour without any prior listening and I was a bit puzzled at their crowd response. The music didn't seem too interesting to me and the tough guy vibes of the guitarist were pretty amusing. I still need to listen to their recorded output though.

 

Yeah I got the generic vibes. Listened again I'm not into it.

 

I've loved a lot of hardcore releases this year so I'm not even that disappointed that I don't like it tbh.

 

It's simply heavy and angry and while it may not be groundbreaking it definitely gets people moving.

 

Yup, that's why I like the album for what it is.

 

just wanted to express that I am ready for the new Code Orange album

yep

announce a release date already

 

Expire and STYG sound nothing alike

 

I'm into Knocked Loose but I totally get why people don't like it. It's kinda stupid, but like, its makes me MOVE

 

Yeah I mean I wasn't trying to say they were, I worded my post poorly. Idk I group all those bands together, Backtrack too. I'm just not into any of them
