I listened to a this a couple of times and my biggest issue is Matt's vocals...he sounds uninterested, there's a lack of emotion or force behind it.
I’ve been listening to this a lot lately. I’m sure this has been posted and I’m sure this where I discovered it but it’s worth reposting.
I never really found them to be all that similar. Matt Wilson has a much whinier tone to his voice haha
They truly sound nothing alike imo lol And everything does in fact bang except BABE (I like maybe half of it though)
In that song that @Elder Lightning posted, if I closed my eyes I could not tell you there were two vocalists.
I can totally understand someone hating their last record, but This Will Be the Death of Us was a ton of fun.
That song isn’t a great example, I don’t think. Jordan is singing in a higher register there than he typically does. This is a better example:
Loved the second record when it came out but it’s too “easycore” and extremely overproduced Reset just didn’t age very well
I remember SYG releasing Gaia Bleeds as the lead single and many were super confused/put off by it. I don’t think the track is bad per se, but definitely a one-off style and approach for them. None of the rest of that album except the title track even remotely sound the same. Also, I don’t think the second album was that bad overall. Their best track ever is on it.
