Hi hello😞😔 please please react to Villain of The Story - "Enough" 👁👁✌new song

[@juanacevedo1431]

Architects have had MULTIPLE songs without screaming, just listen to Behind the Throne or Unbeliever from the album Daybreaker. That album came out in 2012

[@yung_nuts]

very soft song they have made too is an open letter to myself

[@carriehale481]

heartburn is my all time favorite from them. No screaming on it either.

[@rodrigoanaia2154]

Truth, be told It's one of my personal favorites and there's not a lot of screaming

[@Blastingplane]

Cracks in the earth is still one of my favourites

[@LittleBrainBoy]

@@rodrigoanaia2154 amazing Song, agreed

[@ryanchadeayne4070]

I like the song, it’s definitly got an industrial feel, which I dig. What I don’t dig tho, is if I didn’t read the title and just listen to the song I don’t think I’d realize it was architects. It’s definitly a song that I think will grow on a lot of people

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

I love it. It'll turn on a lot of new fans who never enjoyed them before. It's going to become a big hit.

[@MyEpicAnime]

I mean, it is very obviously architects, from the raspy vocals to the drumming. Just not as structurally complex and scream focused as alot of their previous stuff.

[@ivanmerkushev704]

When the band is experementing, everyone hate it, nothing unusal lol

[@francoo364]

Actually you can say this is a continuation of Royal Beggars style - also simple(for Architects) main riff and breakdown, a lot of cleans too, and i think you could guess, that something like this was coming after Holy Hell, and i fucking like it a lot.

[@luismcelaney868]

spot on with the Royal Beggar style , this song rips imo as well!

[@onekidneystan4330]

It definitely follows the same format but it doesn't seem to have the signature sound with the big low riffs and lack of screaming. Obviously Architects have other songs without screams but releasing a lead single without them is brave. Still a good song though.

[@araya3835]

Actually didn't think about, but you're 100% correct. I definitely love this song and will look out for the whole album on the Feb 26th

[@goose5761]

@@araya3835 Honestly, Royal Beggars was an easier sell to me because it just seemed like they played more... notes? Like that main riff just had more variation to it, and didn't just sit on one note. Idk this just wasn't hitting for me -for an Architects song-. I have loved this band for 10 years, and expect them to be the best album I listen to every year they release something, and this is the first time I've been disappointed. Even as recently as their last record, Doomsday helped me get through the loss of my father, I have such a deep connection to band's music, I'll still always rock with them. I'm sure the rest of this album will be bangers, just wanted more substance instrumentally.

[@CristianKirk]

Has nothing to do with Royal Beggars.

[@marysmusictaste]

I loved it! Chorus is so catchy and the bassline is sick

[@august3869]

I’m actually surprised at how much I enjoy this. On repeat listens, it’s become one of my favorite Architects songs. Maybe it’s the groove in the main riff. I’m all about the groove.

[@Leoxwynn]

This song is basically a mix of The Here and Now album and BMTH sound and i really enjoyed it.

[@lessur]

glad somebody else in a comment section has heard that album haha

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

Exactly! But, this is a pretty good product, not like bmth, this have time and quality in the production, just saying.

[@user-abuser-t1l]

BMTH? Nah. It's some kind of industrial shit. The main riff is heavily resembled the Rammstein.

[@jacksonweinbeck8254]

Honestly, loveee this direction, the mix sounds fantastic and gives me a BMTH vibe and that breakdown was still super punchy and organic with a catchy song all around

[@georgechapman4188]

I like to think this song is more about the message than having some crazy double bass and bouncy riffs, I have high hopes for their new album cause I'm with you, really enjoyable song but definitely different

[@VyperEx]

is it doomsday or hereafter? no. but i love this song so much. it’s evolution on their sound and something i can get into like crazy. a lot of “elitists” will have a problem simply because of the fact it’s by Architects. if it was another band, they wouldn’t have a problem at all. but seriously, this is amazing. whatever these boys do, i’ll support. they were my first tattoo, favorite band, and favorite live show i’ve ever gone to. architects forever

[@PedroAlves-sd8xo]

My man I’m 100% with you. Architects are one of the things I love the most in my life, I will support them no matter what

[@Prophecy6]

Don't you both see any problem with that? No band is above criticism regardless of how much they are loved. The mixing and lyrics are great for this song, but instrumentally, this song is as generic and boring as it gets. Easily 100 bands could have made this song. I expect way more from Architects

[@nvrslp755]

It’s not an evolution. It’s a step backwards to a cookie cutter simple song.

[@hunterkowalski5583]

It’s a solid song that i do really like, but not from architects. They could have done a lot more with this song and added some screams. I feel the same way I did after hearing BMTH’s new direction with Amo. I liked it, but I wanted something else from them

[@uolegullook3847]

In fairness, Holy Hell had moments where I was worried what future releases would sound like and sadly it kinda hit home with this. I still love the band and look forward to another album, but this was a bit underwhelming.

[@Jioti_Parcharides]

For someone listening to metal since 1988 I can tell by my experience that this song is a mix of 90ies alternative metal with an simple but heavy hardcore riff and with vocals who sound much like a Trent Reznor of NIN. This is something that was quite popular in the 90ies and I don't hear the BMTH influence, as they are a pop band. This song here is angry and atmospheric and I love it !! This comes from someone who literary lives for metal and I am basically a death/Thrash/heavy metal head and no huge architects fan (but I like their djenty stuff)

[@Wildmetalhead]

1:02 just had me head bangin' from start to finish. I absolutely loved this song! 🔥

[@alexandercarlinmusic9467]

I definitely think its a more mainstream sound, but like every other architects album, its that style but done better than everyone else

[@scotty12332109]

I kinda like that there experimenting with a new clean sound, don't get me wrong it dosent sound like the architects i love and i'm gunna miss the bleghs but it's good to see the Djent hits as hard as ever 🤘

This is gonna be a great stadium song. I think they made it to be that song to get people up on their feet and just have a good listen. Very anthem like.

[@Andrew_-nr7zt]

I love this sound and it shows that the band is growing up and trying new things. This track made my day even better, and I can't wait for the next single they release. But a part of me also hopes that it is heavier than Animals. But I think that this track is going to help them get to a much bigger fan base.

[@BroBruhBruv]

I love 3 days grace

[@Dildohamburger]

I think this change of sound is part of what was explored in the Parkway Drive Doco Viva the Underdogs. Who is going to replace the current headliners of huge music festivals like Wacken? Architects, along with the more accessible Parkway Drive, could very well be those bands, but to reach that level, they need to evolve their sound to reach a larger audience. I see this as Architects making a move to claim the throne as the kings of metal, not just the kings of metalcore.

[@cervus_t]

I think we will definitely hear a couple of heavier songs from Architects on the next album. And the new album called 'For Those That Wish To Exist' if anyone missed.

[@patbateman8116]

I like it but it just doesn’t sound like Architects imo. Plus there’s no screaming. Normally I have nothing against no screaming but Sams whole deal is the screams. Not anything against no bleh but no screams? It just fell a bit flat for me. Eh. I’m sure it’ll grow on me, it’s Architects. I’ve loved everything they’ve done so I’m sure I’ll come around. 🤘🤘 EDIT: It’s growing on me a lot after 3 hours. Guess I don’t need to wait a couple of days 😂🤘

[@p4rr0t82]

True, I guess that viewpoint is understandable by all fans, after all their scream game was amazing. But well, we should go with the flow with whatever artists go with. I personally really dig this new sound.

This CD isnt ment to be about the riffs read the Kaarang article they just did. And as far as songs with out screaming Heartburn by Architects is a good example that just because they explore one style doesnt mean they sold out or went weak. It just means they wanted to do something different for a second.

[@BallinlikaG]

[@Uhirgz]

I listened to the first minute of this song and departed. Yeah it wasn’t what i was expecting to come back to Architects for. Give it a try here and oh my god, this mix is superb. Im blown away

[@xcalibrx1653]

I get it, artists wanna go into a new direction. People get upset when they dont do something heavy with a track. And people will get mad at the people who do get upset. But we seem to forget that fans of bands like architects, wage war, northlane etc. are in essence also metalcore/hardcore/-core heavy music fans. Their heavy sound and screams are what drew in fans in the first place. So when bands put out something that sounds more akin to radio rock or bmth-core then of course fans will get upset because that type of sound wont resonate with them as much as their previous works. So yeah, artists and bands can go in whatever direction they want but there will be people who are upset and possibly seek out new bands who still retain their sense of heavy music.

[@kev.aka-cool]

Awesome!!! Actually love songs which take a break from the constant heaviness through the entire track. 🎸⚡⚡⚡

I don't know why but it just wasn't for me. with the new album comming out, I wanted to gave the old songs a new chance... and I must confess. that I'm just more of a fan of their new songs than the previous ones. I will probably be an exception to this. I am a big deathcore, metalcore and hardcore fan. and among all the heavy albums that I listen to regularly, this one is also on almost daily. these lyrics appeal to me more and the atmosphere they create here is fantastic🖤👌

[@tobymorgan4797]

This song is fantastic - screams or not. Look, I've followed this band since I picked up Hollow Crown (a couple years late) and with EVERY album they have done something new. If they release an entire album that is like this then I'd be shocked and let's not forget, people hated on Royal Beggars when that first came out and that album absolutely slapped. I don't think this is a 'DIRECTION'. I think this is 'WHAT THEY WANTED TO MAKE'. If you're a fan of the guys, you'll just accept the fact this is what they wanted to release and being frank, if you're going to hate on it you probably shouldn't be watching reaction videos

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

A fucking men brother

[@7dron7]

FYI, there is a written article where they talk about the new album. They were actually planning on a bio-industrial sound for 8th album, and it was Tom who wanted it. About this song, they tried the usual Architects vocals and they didn't fit, the softer vocals brought this song to life. Anyhow, if anyone is interested just search for the article.....sry can't find the link atm

[@dsmembereddreams]

Tom was the main song writer for Architects. When he passed, Dan took over a lot of it and they put out Holy Hell which sounded a lot like their prior stuff. I feel like they did Holy Hell in the same way as somewhat of a tribute to Tom, hence why they put Doomsday on the record after saying that it was only going to be a single and not part of any particular album. They did what they needed to do for Tom and now they are moving forward with what they have now. Yes, it sounds different but it's being written by a completely different person, regardless of his relationship to Tom. RIP Tom and welcome the new Architects sound.

[@seifdog6244]

I really like this song. It reminds me of deftones a little bit and i was kind of hoping they would do some stuff like this after they covered deftones.

[@RA_-_10]

Why is it so hard for people to accept that bands and people change over time? No one is the same 10 years later.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

I agree. And it still has their trademark sound. Not like they threw away guitars and ditched well thought out lyrics.

[@sherman614]

Because when you have a particular sound that you love from a band, it's hard to accept that you will never hear that sound, or new material that reminds you of a time you loved the band, ever again. But I know what you mean, a band shouldn't be criticized for it, cause like Parkway Drive said when asked about why they don't sound like they use to "We don't benefit ourselves as artists, or the fans if we make the same sound over and over again"

[@RyanGray616]

I don't think that's the issue here, I doubt most will begrudge the fact that Architects are looking to branch out and especially after losing Tom, will be in a different place creatively than a few years ago. The issue is that aside from obviously rehashing the same material again, they seem to have picked the most rudimentary form of branching out available to them - still identifiably Architects but with this whole "electronic influenced arena stomper" style of writing which seems to have become the mean of recent.

[@loz2590]

The main riff in the beginning kinda reminds me of the breakdown in Death is not Defeat from Holy Hell. Anyone feeling that?

[@OriginsOfAPancake]

I personally really enjoy this song, I feel this new direction is something they need. Sometimes Sam's screaming gets abit old for me, so it's good to add in the singing but I hope they don't get rid of the screaming Completly. It's all about the balance

[@bistekwan]

Totally agree with everything you said

[@RickySmart2001]

Ill put my take on this song this way. Ive been a fan of them for a couple of years and after two heavy ass records like all our gods and holy hell Im really down for this more experimental sound by them (not saying that i didnt enjoy the last two records or think they sound the same they are masterpieces in my eyes). I personally am in love with this song and this new aesthetic. I love sam's screaming but i also really love hes clean voice. And the song overall still goes really hard especially with that break down. Cant wait for the new album

[@ArturBloodshot]

For those saying "bands evolve": There's a difference between evolution and total change of course. Learn form Parkway Drive, they needed like 3 albums to get to the sound they wanted without downgrading their work. I really hope this is Architect's most radio-friendly track of the upcoming album, because going from metalcore archetype to generic rock really hurts. It's a good song, but I don't feel like it's Architects playing it. I just think about BMTH and Rammstein.

I love it though I‘m missing something at the same time. It‘s just an overall great song and I can‘t complain about it - it just doesn‘t have that Architects signature sound. The main riff is smashing and amazing. The breakdown as well, but I missed the hype before the breakdown - it came kind of out of nothing. Also I‘m missing Sam Carters signature „sing screaming“ which would definetely spice that song up a little more. So for me the overall verdict is: as a standalone single it‘s probably an 8/10. As an Architects song and knowing what they are abled to do I would give it a 6/10 as it is just lacking some of the emotion they put into over songs.
