I sometimes feel like I’m in the minority for liking it when bands experiment (I think I was one of the few that really liked Korn’s dubstep phase)…but I’ve gotta admit that going back to the heavy on this one is nice.

[@Bannschwert]

I really, really, really like the new albums. They are amazing works of music. But then you also need your need for dummy thicc to be satisfied... Good thing you can just listen to the same band for that. And yeah, Dubstep KoRn was pretty neat.

[@RossFixxxed]

Korn and Skrillex was surprisingly awesome. I still listen to those songs a lot. Experimentation is great and they can integrate the parts that worked best into things going forward.

[@richardsinclair7661]

I'm so tired of people over-simplifying criticism as "disliking experimentation". Experimenting is fine. As an example, I'm a huge fan of Parkway Drive's early material but I *loved* Reverence. It had a lot that reminded me of old Parkway, mixed in with the catchiness and simple grooves of newer Parkway. Very solid and fun. Darker Still though? Absolutely hated it. Doesn't even sound like the same band anymore. The experimentation is still fine, but the result was bad (in my opinion). That's the thing. People treat experimentation like it always results in good things when that isn't always the case.

Path of Totality is a brilliant album

I really like that kind of diversity too, I've only started listening to Architects recently (1,5 years), but I like different albums, just like I like stuff from BMTH from Chelsea Smile to Nihilist Blues (although I discovered them with Sempiternal and that album is just GOAT for me).

I mean, they really didn't. It isn't even a about being heavy, on a musical level it was just more simple and simply worse.

[@thesamaffliction1572]

This is my point. People seem to forget they didn't just change sound when a lineup changed or something. They had a hugely traumatic life experience and naturally changed as people and a band so need to experiment coming out the other side of that. It's the most horrific unwarranted hate I've seen towards a band, especially here in the UK where they're on top of the scene with Sleeps and Bring Me.

[@landalfthewhite]

“Gone With The Wind but every kick hit is a blegh” at the end, bravo 😂

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

I think a lot of the reason people are so feral about this band is because they grew up listening to them. Architects have helped a TON of people through so many things in life like depression, anxiety, school, work, all the way til having children and watching them grow up and listening to Architects in the car with them. And when Tom passed, they release Holy Hell and it was damn near one of the greatest albums on planet earth and still is to this day. All of that amounts to an insane emotional attachment to this band and when they completely change their sound, it's almost impossible not to be upset about it. But I agree with you man, some of the lengths people go to are seriously fucked up and it's a shame that we cant all accept that their vision has changed. We dont take the time to try and understand what their reasons for it are, and that's a problem a lot of us have throughout life in general. We are too focused on what we want than what someone else wants. That needs to change but unfortunately I dont think it ever will. I dont like the newer style either but there are 4001991 bands out there that scratch that itch for me. If Architects wants to play celtic folk country, let them.

[@malcolmk2878]

More than anything, considering they offered us that sort of genuineness and authenticity and transparency that allowed us to breed such a strong attachment to them, we should have the respect and love to accept whatever direction they choose to take.

[@ediblenebulas1164]

Interesting discussion point... Sam had a brief chat with Daniel P Carter on the Radio 1 Rock Show, where he expressed that they seemingly are going in a heavier direction from now. He said something along the lines that TCSOABS "humbled" them and that they "know what makes the band special" and they are laser-focused moving forward. I personally really enjoyed TCSOABS, but it seems that the band recognise that they want to try and do better, and part of that is exploring their heavier side again (not that there weren't any heavy tracks on the last two albums!) Personally, I'm really glad that this song encapsulates everything that they've been doing over these past few years, but it feels sharper. The hardcore influences, the electronic elements and of course the HUGE chorus (which my god, recency bias I know, but that might be the best chorus vocal of the year - that or jaded by spiritbox). They haven't compromised their sound in any way, and the message and lyrics are concise and powerful. The future is looking bright!!!

They helped me through many dark times, and it's unbelievable how people can be so disrespectful towards them on a personal level. I totally get if people don't like FTTWTE or their new Album but people need to take a step back. These guys played a 25 Song Set on their last Tour, with lots of old Songs, and it was frkn epic. In my eyes, this Set was the best example of that they're not just thinking about their new stuff, they also want Fans, that are coming especially for the heavier stuff to be happy.

Although I love Bands experimenting with their sound going back to heavy is like a long ass build up to a brutal breakdown. Satisfying af!

[@MentionedBefore]

I loved their recent albums, this song is a perfection of their new style imo. It's a certified Architects banger :3

[@void973]

This is my first time hearing off architects and I love what it sounds like and this is probably one off my favorite metal bands and probably will listen to architects in 2024 more

[@Aponeynamedcat]

Architects is one of my favorite bands no matter if they make a non heavy song or a song like this. Tho this song hits hard.

[@PalmelaHanderson]

I find it funny that this is the first thing they've released since Josh left the band, when the reason he left is he wanted to make heavier shit.

[@thetheeser659]

I grew up on their 2012 - 2016 stuff and don´t like most of the songs from 2018 onward. Even their life shows in my eyes got worse, because they just don´t play anything pre 2018. But I dont need to hate them, they moved on and I´m happier that way, than I would be if they put out another AOGHAU album. This new single though, I really like. If the album will be this fun to listen to (don´t care heavy or soft, just F U N) then maybe they can get some of their old fanbase back. Which I would love for them to happen

[@sanakan198X]

As an former old time fan of theirs that gone off them last album or so, this is what I'm hoping for. Hoping for some energy and something fun from their next effort. This song slaps.

[@thetheeser659]

@@sanakan198X I think that the change was much needed if there were that many toxic people in their audience. They changed, that gave the haters voice and now they, hopefully, just go away hating on some other band that doesn´t really deserve it.

[@johnyang799]

The key of their older stuff is the energy. It's not a matter of just being heavy. The mid time (daybreak too actually) lost forever to holy hell have the energy and with pitched scream. Ah man. So good.

[@johnyang799]

​@@thetheeser659Most people don't hate. It's the very small portion of the "fans" but you know it's these people that hurt the most. But honestly this song feels just the same as last two albums.

[@nickaelle1474]

5:00 Nik, you not understand... They asked only for you: "are you alredy happy now??" (from this breakdowns) 😂

[@noahseaner3287]

I think I was one of the few who enjoyed their last album, but it’s hilarious that this song is essentially a diss track against their fans… absolute banger

[@corehideout]

Agree with the checklist and it WORKS! Something off about their previous album but this is something made me excited

[@samwardonline]

I’m not super familiar with Architects, but dang does this sound good lol

[@kw-wf9uf]

I get the point of the song, but I'd kill for them to take some stuff from this going forward. The mixing is a big step up in particular. This with some more Architects-y songwriting would go crazy.

[@noseqnombreponer7589]

Great blending of their old and New sound. Just like BMTH, this is their sound, they can be a commercial band and stil deliver them riffs

[@Thracian117]

Awesome!

[@aminmotamed6438]

6:33 brooooo that clean vocal was smooth

[@willvaughn6.395]

This is everything I’ve been hopeful for from bring me the horizon and its arc architects that deliver ! What a fun track !! NIK IS THIS IS DROP C? The best tuning of all time

[@HunterForsberg]

Drop B :3

[@willvaughn6.395]

@@HunterForsberg thanks 🙏

[@EveretTGTxD]

This music video is really good. I love the close up shots. Some cool tricks they did too

[@britballer4697]

This band legitimately had someone rush the stage and tell Sam something like “the new sound is letting Tom down” imagine being that much of a prick you tell a band they’re letting down their dead friend… If any band has the right to call out a toxic fanbase in a song, it’s Architects! I’ve loved every album from The Here And Now onwards.

[@goonggaming]

The lyric "They only ever love you when you're Seeing Red" is in reference to fans of Metalcore only liking pissed off shit. If they make music thats not pissed, its cus the band members are actually not mourning, not in a bad mood, not angry. Last album was like that for them.

[@hugostiglitz5798]

Nik is easily entertained and impressed. He never has anything negative to say

[@terribletimmy2]

The blegh ending on this video is perfection. Thank you Caleb

[@_Thunderball_]

RIP YT Nik. Now even the reviews have the streamer Nik.

[@EMBALMENGRAVE_OFFICIAL]

[@xMourningStar]

Anyone else need to take a few deep breaths? Man! When he screams those long parts I get winded myself! I like it!!

[@Joose]

Pettycore. I'm here for it.

[@Rowanexen]

You can't even call it petty, they deserved to get to write this 😂

[@Griffolion0]

Reminds me of that BMTH track on Amo where the song's about seeing all the people shit talk Ollie because he doesn't do the death growls anymore.

[@core4ever215]

I'm actually shocked... what a tune! Kinda fell off this band since the last album but this is unreal!

[@inthepocketbass]

Chime at 5:01 is *chef's kiss*

[@Dantelemartez]

For the record. 1. I am personally dissapointed by direction and last album they`ve released. I am connecting this also with Josh departure due to potential misalignment on direction/musical style 2. Love every previous record and been on numerous show, and will keep banging to legendary songs 3. I am SOO POSITIVELY SUPRISED by this song! 4. I hope that the whole record would be like this actually :D

[@CRsquared64]

listen to the lyrics of this one closely…

[@Dantelemartez]

I`ve read them, i agree that some of the fans crossed the line, still, cant I say that i love previous records, and I dont find recent one super interesting for myself? @@CRsquared64
