I knew that one will be there. Color Decay is something that was extremely depressing for me at the time, and then it became something I can hold on to, something very dear to my heart. It's an amazing creation I can't really listen to anymore because I feel like it's gonna be direct ride to the depression once again. I might be wrong because the timing of it was so great back then, but when I start remembering those lyrics it just makes me sad and angry.

The thing about Architects was that every song from Lost Forever // Lost Together to Holy Hell felt MEANINGFUL. They truly mastered their craft during that era, and there won't be a day when I won't miss that spectacular sound. However, I understand that these albums' themes were deeply tied to Tom's passing, and the band moved on for a reason. So, yeah, I get it, but I'd still love to see them return to that style, as their current sound feels mediocre at best. In addition, I truly believe that it was the step in the right direction with For Those Who Wish to Exist, but for some reason, they just devolved.

[@kilowog9602]

They just don't make riffs. Invent Animate is the new and modern Architects. Shout Out to their las singles, its not Lost Forever/Lost Together but are solid songs

[@rayof3965]

I mean, way less popular (but still they're my fav band

[@Live.Music.Moments]

Ive heard some interviews with sam recently and he's hinted that they're going back heavy. They tried something new, fans didn't like it, they realises its not theirs and they're going back to more heavy on the next album! Can't wait to see what that means. I hope some old school architects, at least in some way. They'll never sound the same again.

[@KhaosKontroller]

I reaaaaally don't want them to return to that sound. 3 albums was enough. They just need a better sound than the bland "We got BMTH at home" arena metal they're doing now.

[@J.PC.Designs]

@@kilowog9602 Heavener is a genuine masterpiece of an album. Modern metalcore done right.

[@mrigo23]

It makes sense and I feel like the pattern is pretty common: You like an artist and start listening to it. They release that one album that gives you that perfect feeling of freshness and uniqueness. Pure dopamine. You listen to it ad nauseam, everyday, all day until it’s not so fresh anymore. When the next release doesn’t give you that feeling again you fall out of interest and look for the new thing chasing that feeling again.

[@bouquetforeverymisery]

Can relate to Architects. For me it’s not that the songwriting got poppier and less heavy, but that the songs don‘t have ambience and feel huge anymore. That is why I still like FTTWTE but Classic Symptoms was an absolute miss for me.

[@josuastangl7140]

100%. First heard them during All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, didn't really clicked with it. Got obsessed after the Hereafter single. Couldn't get enough of Holy Hell. I really liked For Those That Whish To Exist. when we were young was cool, but never listened to anything after that. Just wasn't interesting at all. But I dove into their back catalogue and got obsessed again with stuff from Hollow Crown, Daybreaker, Lost Forever and All Our Gods. Now Sam is openly talking about Classic Symptoms being bad and regretting putting it out. That was wild and I didn't expect it at all.

[@0owmjapo0]

Funny timing with this video. For years I've been saying ERRA is my favourite band. But I've hardly listened to them in recent months. Their newest album didn't grab me and I kinda lost interest in listening to their older music as well. Things change I guess.

[@joshbarnes6759]

I would try again. I said the same thing about Cure, but it took a 3rd listen before it clicked with me.

[@Martindupie]

I know what you mean brother, and I used to say the same, their latest album didn't stick with me and everything before felt way better, but I cannot tell you how much that album grew on me. Until the point where I'd say their latest album is their most mature work they've done. Listening to their old albums now is still amazing, but sounds like they were doing everything they can to be fast and unexpected, where they almost took a step back and wrote a damn well album. Try it again bro, give it a few listens, and listen to it as a standalone without comparing 🤘🏼

[@craigb47]

I stopped listening to Erra post Grasons departure, though they have few songs like Rumors of light and skyline that i like!

[@nathansterling639]

Impulse is the best album in my opinion

[@brandonkain9231]

​@@nathansterling639impulse is phenomenal

[@KrandoxLP]

I resonate strongly with this front to back. Not necessarily because of the bands mentioned (though I relate to a good bit of them too), but moreso because of the overlistening and slowly falling out of love. This year in particular I've noticed just how periodic my music taste and passion for bands is. It's also represented by my Wrapped, which is 100% different in terms of bands every year. Cant tell you the last time I listened to Lorna Shore, or Sleep Token, two bands I used to obsess with the last two years. Going into 24 even my love for Heavener faded. Not because I dont love it anymore, I Stil think it's a great 10/10 album, but I just dont feeel like coming back to it that often. I think this is just normal, taste is periodic, bands change sounds, and combined you end up with situations like this. Enjoyed this a lot

[@MichaelFromTheAttic]

I don't think you necessarily move on because these bands become popular, I think these bands become popular because their sound changes. And that sound change is what causes them to become more popular. But it might not resonate with you.

[@symptomofsouls]

I stopped listening to so many bands because they did that, main one I can't stand is Decapitated. Their first 4 albums were phenomenal. Then they started becoming less and less technical and outside of a few tracks I really haven't enjoyed anything after Carnival is Forever. Cancer Culture isn't even recognizable when compared to their old material

[@MichaelFromTheAttic]

@@symptomofsouls I feel you. Parkway Drive is a massive example similar to that for me.

[@symptomofsouls]

@@MichaelFromTheAttic I go back to the old albums and try to find out exactly what changed. Think Carnival was when they focused more on the groove elements, and it was less chaotic than Organic Hallucinosis, then Blood Mantra was when they tried (and failed) to go back to their old sound. Then AntiCult was basically a groove metal album, with a few standout tracks but mostly mediocre. Cancer Culture was when their sound died. The crunchy guitar tone was really the only thing left from their old sound and even that was gutted. Nihility's guitar tone was disgusting. Absolutely maxed out overdrive. And had way more groove than their groove metal albums somehow

[@metallicakevin1]

Lamb of god bro. I used to listen to this band like crazy, learned tons of songs on guitar, learned fry scream, the lyrics, everything. But after their 2015 album Sturm und Drang I started to see a formula that got boring pretty quickly, that chaoticness and unpredictability of the riffs started to feel more plain, the songs started to share the saame structure, and ofc the absent of the mind of Chris Adler was super noticeable. After that, i have barely listened to their last releases, i literally dont care anymore, which is sad honestly. Still love the band tho, Ashes of the Wake is stilll my fav album of all time.

[@Krauser1226]

This, right around the same time for me too. Ashes of the Wake is the reason I picked up guitar and the entire run up from As The Palaces Burn to Resolution is incredible but Sturm Und Drang, while great, is where I kinda fell off. Chris leaving was essentially the death knell unfortunately.

[@nikkempe2374]

[@nickhoffman9256]

ABR has still slapped as hard as they did on messengers, absolute GOATs

[@Khainite]

Absolutely with you on Bad Omens and Sleep Token. Maybe I'm too much of a contrarian but they went over the hump in terms of popularity to the point where I'm just not as into them as I used to be years ago when I first heard them. I still have a lot of their stuff on my playlists and I still like them but I tend to skip their songs these days because I've heard them so fucking much and I'm over them. Maybe I'm too much of a hipster contrarian but having seen Bad Omens and Sleep Token on my feed on every fucking site for months on end kind of made me sick of them. That and I've moved on to a different sound that I tend to gravitate towards. I'll always love them but they had their time in my life and they're a memory now. Regarding While She Sleeps and Architects, I like their older stuff but they aren't putting out stuff I enjoy anymore. Maybe there's an appeal but I haven't listened to their newer stuff enough to find it. Killswitch is kind of the same. I will die on a hill for old KSE stuff like Heartache and My Curse but I haven't really given newer KSE stuff the time to decide. In my mind it won't get better than their old stuff. I never cared much for INK but they're alright. I can't get over their gimmick but they're fine. If they come on I give the song a chance and I like some of them but they're not my favorite by any means. TDWP is a band I've had come on my shuffle for years now and I listened to them but never got really into them until I saw them live a couple times the last couple of years and they were rad. I got more into them and I enjoy most of their stuff. Wasn't a huge fan of their newest song but eh. I forgot to mention August Burns Red which are still good and I don't care if they put the same album out every time they're still good. Not a band I'm in love with like a lot of people seem to be but they're definitely consistent and I have a lot of their stuff on my playlist. Constellations will always be goated. For a personal pick I'll throw in Spiritbox. Controversial maybe but I think it's a mixture of reasons, mostly being they're also pretty well known by now and the contrarian part of me has to react. I maintain that Holy Roller is one of the best metalcore songs ever made and the version with Ryo Kinoshita is fucking rad as shit but I'm sick of them. Maybe I listened to them too much. I most certainly did last year lol since they were one of my most played bands. I'll also say Slaughter to Prevail. It was fun at first and they have some good songs but I'm done with them. Recently I've been into 156/Silence, Graphic Nature, Orphan, Invent Animate, Catsclaw, The Narrator, Seeing Things and Like Moths To Flames a lot. I love all the bands mentioned in this video too. But like I said I think their time is past, at least for now, in my music rotation. Thanks for reading my stupid fucking blog that nobody asked for.

[@dissonant_a]

This is me currently. I started listening to metalcore 20 years ago and I think it’s the genre has changed so dramatically over the last few years. There’s so many trends in metalcore that you can almost date an album before it’s even a few years old. I haven’t been excited for a new album like I used to be… maybe we all just over play them!

Similar story here. I recently revisited their first two albums and am falling in love with them again, but nothing since Vessels has hit quite the same for me

[@KaineMikulas]

@@nightwingx0126I will say Horizons grew on me SO MUCH over the last few months. My initial problem with it was the structure of repeating a phrase for a chorus, but the bridges on that album are some of the best bridges I’ve ever heard. If Horizons had more lyrical variety in the choruses, I’d put it above Transmissions and Vessels. Divisions on the other hand, I still don’t like (with the exception of a few songs like Diving Bell for example)

Damn the beginning hurt haha. While She Sleeps is my favorite band of all time, Brainwashed and This is the Six(the 2 albums before You Are We) are two of my favorite albums ever. You can listen to it and it feels different every time. I would say if you want to go back into WSS you could dive through This Is The Six, so many gems in there. While She Sleeps is my favorite band of all time, and Sleep Token was probably my favorite band of the summer. Sundowning is an absolute gem of an album. Sleep Token is also one of the bands that after seeing them live, I kept listening to them non-stop. I usually binge listen setlists a week before shows, so after the show I want to move on, but Sleep Token didn't let me.

[@xDaveXLepakx]

Interesting take Bogdan! I would never say I’ve “moved on” from a band in my personal take. It usually just depends on what you’re feeling at the time. I personally would say I have my favorites for periods of time and then something else I go into. Example, I went on a Blink 182 kick for like a month. Then when knocked loose and boundaries’ new album came out I binged a bunch of hardcore. If we’re going off of the “moved on from” mentality then I guess I’ve moved on from almost my entire music library 😂

[@markozakicmusic]

Truly relatable. Some bands that I don’t listen to anymore are: Trivium, Whitechapel, TAIM, Architects, Sleep Token, WSS. I think a big part of not listening to a band anymore that you used to love is when they drop an album that you don’t really enjoy that much and start looking for stuff that fits your taste more, you just start to forget and it becomes a thing of the past

[@FreeformRock]

Trivium is a big one for me too

[@michaelgrindy6913]

I completely get the mindset of abandoning a band after they hit the mainstream I used to be like that in my teens thinking bands were no good once they hit it really big but now I’m happy if I ‘find’ a band then they become massive like sleep token. Couldn’t be happier for them now. I saw sleep token support architects in Glasgow and honestly you could feel in that arena that a movement was happening, that was my first introduction of them and you could sense that they were on the cusp of extraordinary things.

[@Cha0sMaster]

Relatable and also quite understandable. We all grow and the chance of a band you love doing so in the same direction is close to zero. Lamb of God, Darkest Hour, Mastodon, even Slipknot are bands that for years dominated my musical attention, but I have barely listened to in years and have almost completely detached myself from.

bands keep rotating in and out of my rotation as they release new music. i was obsessed with TMBTE but now that they haven't put out a new track in over a year i haven't listened to them as much. my adhd brain gets hyper obsessive over a single track/playlist and i usually stick to just a few tracks in my rotation. the moment sleep token puts out something new i'll listen to it and probably be hooked for a while and then just move on

I have been a metalhead for almost three years and I realize that the more bands you get into you tend to forget about the bands that started you out and got you into metal but that also means when you come across them you get that nostalgic feeling and that is the best thing about metal. I also think because of me being a metal vocalist certain bands like Lorna Shore, Slaughter To Prevail, Bad Omens and etc. have been a big part of my listening history so I could get an idea of what to listen for when I'm making songs or just to learn how to do the vocals they do.

[@disturbed1com401]

I think moving on from a band once their 'big' isnt just a hipster-thing, where everything is about being into stuff noone knows. A lot times there's a reason why bands blow up, and quite often it is because they change/evolve their sound into something more mass-friendly. Nothing wrong with that per se, I just think a lot of bands loose their edge during this process, and that "edge" is exactly the new/fresh element that made them stand out in the first place. Another factor is just copycats I think. If everyone sound like i.e. Bad Omens, noone really does, and the sound/style becomes kinda bland in a broader sense, so we move on to the next fresh thing. Keeps the underground alive, if you think about it like that

I've been waiting for the moment when you would start doing other types of videos. I love your reactions and like the way you articulate your opinions, but expanding outside of the "reaction-only box" seems to be the right step for your channel. Can't wait for your new videos!

[@jazzmatrix8229]

This is a really interesting idea! I've always found listening to bands is cyclical... I used to love The Amity Affliction as a kid, grew out of them, rediscovered them, now I'm a little bit on the outs again. Parkway Drive is the same too. Works the other way too... used to be confused by Northlane. Since Alien I can't stop listening to them.

[@JoaoVitor-sf2vv]

Holly Hell was the peak of metalcore

[@owenleackfeldt2363]

Really enjoyed the discussion. I see a lot of live bands and love comparing them to the albums, so I'd be interested in either positive take (matched/elevated the album) or negative (didn't match the album/letdown live)

[@simulatedlimbs]

I felt the same about architects years ago, when all our gods abandoned us dropped it was by far my favorite band and the first metalcore band i got deep into where i listened to all their previous stuff and found something to like in every one except here and now. but holy hell already had 50% of songs that i didn't like and it's not just missing tom searle for the themes he used I think both their sound and lyrics regressed as if they were teenagers, their signles for the last records sound so juvenile to me that i can't even get into the albums themselves.

[@antonmakovetskyi8350]

Loved this format!! ❤❤

[@Payne823]

So you won't review the new Architects single dropping on Tuesday?

[@roystoncharmaine]

I think this video would be better titled "Bands I've Moved On From (For Now)" because we all go through phases with things. If in the next year or two any of those bands drop a banger, you'll probably love it, and it'll rekindle your love for the earlier stuff, too. Tastes are transient, never permanent.

[@saoirse1893]

The over-listening thing is so right and happened to me with some albums you mentioned here as well. I don't dislike the bands I've over-listened to, and I'll revisit them sometimes and enjoy them, but they're not in my usual cycle of listening anymore. Dance Gavin Dance is this way for me. I was obsessed with them for like a year, just non-stop, and now I just don't feel like popping them on anymore lol. Not because I dislike them. I'll still check out new stuff or listen to them here and there. But I'm not really in the mood for them anymore. I have a handful of bands like this. So I totally get it. Hell, I'm the same as you on pretty much all the bands mentioned in this video.

[@ThisTall]

I’ve never lost interest so fast in a band I’ve been so impressed with, as Sleep Token. I’m actually surprised how quick my opinion changed

[@josephreusch]

Coheed and Cambria was my favourite band for about a decade and now I hardly listen to them but still check out their new stuff when it drops

[@mattiasandries]

Interested to see a follow up to this video - bands you've recently gotten into heavily!

[@emoishguy08]

I feel you on falling out of love with Architects. Daybreaker is still one of my favorite albums ever, got into them during Lost Together, Lost Forever phase and was blown away by Broke. Cross, but have just underwhelmed with everything after holy hell, and they got big to the point where I didn’t feel special calling them my favorite band anymore. The recent drama with their guitarist doesn’t help eithwr

[@akjawahry]

good that you did not include Erra in this list, looks like you gave the Cure Album a better listen

[@williamgrand9724]

Great video Bog. Architects. They are trying to appeal to more people so they arent as heavy, and thus more cringe. On anouther note. I've listened to Augment by Erra countless times and it never gets old.

[@milanletic1772]

I curious does listening too much to something really make you lose interest in songs you loved or is it something else? Like maybe novelty wearing of? Because I can think of a lot of music I just adored, that over time started to hit way less even though I still like it or find it great, but something is not the same. So i started changing my listening habits, but I think I am starting to find that in most cases, like 90% plus of time it will still start to fall off even if I limit myself from listening to it in order to not make it overplayed to my ears lol. Like for example, last year I had songs that I played so many times on loops, which started to hit way less after a time, so I said I won't do that again. This year I started mixing in more songs in the rotation and always finding something new and avoiding listening to songs that hit just right for me in hope that such imapct it has on me will last much longer. But now it's kinda hitting to me, that a lot of those are not hitting the same regardless. I probably listenened to them like 100x less then songs I overplayed last year, and yet the same kind of phenomena started to happen. I'll put it on and I'll think to myself, wow such a great song, but ahhh I'm kinda in the mood for something else. Then I'll find something new and think about coming back to older favourites at a later time, and once again I'll dig the song but won't be in the mood for it. Then before I know it, so much time has passed and it seems like that feeling just persists, so now it feels like I kind of waasted my honeymoon phase with those music pieces while trying to preserve the great feeling it gave me. So isn't it the best then to just overplay it and enjoy it as much as possible before it gets old anyways? Or is there another way to keep it fresh? Really curious about comment sections favourite methods when it comes to this.

[@hypeman133]

Im happy you're still digging Alien. Is just too good.

[@giorgiobertoldo]

I relate to this a lot because over time I've stopped caring much about catchiness and heaviness and started caring much more about the artsy, profound and creative aspects of music which are usually speaheaded by smaller bands in my opinion

[@ebrh1502]

agree with most of this. BUT TDWP still sounds fresh to me and i've been listening them since Dead Throne

[@chrisb.4715]

As you said, Holy Hell is such a fucking good album. Every song is absolutely amazing. I also had that crazy addiction to it back then.

[@shantiaMVCS]

So does this mean , if they release some new songs, you won't be checking them out?

[@metalblakedowns]

Do you think some of these examples perhaps can also be related to the idea of them prolonging or 'milking' said albums? speaking only from my experience; Bad Omens is such a good example where I do still love the band, but I'm so burnt out on TDOPOM stuff and it's really made me not give a shit about what they're doing until the next stuff comes out. INK is another example where I have the same feelings. Because some of the examples you provided, we haven't gotten follow up records so I'm curious if the burn out will remain permanent for you Or are you at a place where new music from these bands just wouldn't excite you as they once did?

[@bogdanhxc]

I think it's a bit of both. I agree with INK and Bad Omens. Bands like Architects - i just feel like i've listened to that sound so much that I can't possibly ever like it the same way again

[@Live.Music.Moments]

I can relate way more then i wanted too. Especially anything from While She Sleeps till the end. I feel the exact same way about everything and all the bands. Used to be obsessed with all of them but rarely listen these days.

[@RebeIMate]

I mean how can blame you. There is so many new interesting bands and so much new interesting music that it is really hard to stick with something spesific for a long periods of time.

[@42k78]

If I obsess over a band too much, to the point where I start memorizing all their songs and track lengths, and then I see them live, I usually stop listening to them for a while. i don't avoid them, but they just don't come up at much. So yes, that happens to me too. In most cases, by the time I see them live, I've watched them live on youtube 1000 times already and that def affects things.

[@MidnightChronicler]

Such a good video idea. I think everyone can relate to this

[@abhiii3333]

I would say a lot of metalcore and deathcore in general tbh, recently I've been listening to some older metallic hardcore stuff like Converge, early Between the buried and me, botch and Dillinger. Some old-school death metal like Morbid Angel, Death and Bolt Thrower. Also more pop and soft rock stuff like Men I trust, Slowdive, Oasis just to name a few. I do hope The Contortionist releases something next year, I miss them a lot.

[@BearPondersGames]

Love the Appeal to Reason vinyl in the back. Seeing RA tonight in Nashville.

[@The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage]

I definitely feel you there with Killswitch Engage and August Burns Red. I think I got into both around the same time as you did, and used to be obsessed with both--but I haven't listened to either in years. With While She Sleeps, I've also fallen off in terms of listening to them (mainly with their most recent album, as I really loved Sleeps Society), but as a diehard fan, I can never let myself drift away too far from them (WSS is easily top 3 in my list of bands).

[@42k78]

I had the same experience with Sleep Token. I listened to them almost every day. That was also around the same time I got into death/black metal heavily and that stuff is almost anti Sleep Token if you ask me. The more I got into bands like Ulthar and Lord Mantis, the less I wanted to go back to bands like ST. It was fun while it lasted. Maybe one day I come back around. Haven't finished your video yet, but Gojira is big one for me. I loved Way of all Flesh overall but when Magma came out, I sort of fell out right when everyone else wanted to hop on, seemingly.

[@Lu1sY4brudy]

bands that I still enjoy and listening every day: Humanity Last Breath, Tesseract, Unprocessed, Avralize, BMTH, Meshuggah, Allt, Fot for an Autopsy, imminence, Tool, Soen. Now you should make a video with this content

[@dragonblazer96]

I'm slowly getting back into a few actually! Rise Against is one that I've loved everything they released, but realized it was forever since I listened to them. I saw they had a tour near me, got tickets and listened to the whole discography over and over since. Great concert and glad to say they are near the top of my rotation again. Another is Bullet for my Valentine. Again, a huge fan of everything they did and have seen them twice, but I feel that other music just got in the way of me listening to them. The last month I've been on a major binge of their music. I feel that sometimes we just need a break from our favorite artists so that we can come back later on and truly appreciate it like the first time again

[@TheeLiability]

So relatable with While She Sleeps, I was OBSSESSED right from The North Stands For Nothing album, all through This Is The Six and Brainwashed, even going as far as seeing them live a good few times and meeting Loz! (Lovely dude!) but after that the love just fizzled and never came back!

[@AUFT_.]

Starting off with Bad Omens is CRAZY (but weirdly in the same boat I'm realizing). For me Sleep Token currently is only Vore + The Offering + This Place Will Be Your Tomb (best album!!!) barely revisiting Take Me Back to Eden. And honestly feel more or less similar with the other bands. And yes please more videos like this !!! Would love to hear stories about how you got into heavier music, concert experiences (best and worst) and going over current vinyl collection...?

[@ThisIsGers]

I could never get tired of TDWP; gonna see them later this month for the 11th time!

[@liambarrett2638]

Most of these I can agree with. Architects, Bad Omens and While She Sleeps too. Killswitch Engage is actually one i’m leaning heavier into recently Asking Alexandria is probably my biggest drop off in the last 5 years

[@arielsalteno153]

Yes! i would love to see more videos like this for sure

[@karst0374]

A band for me would definitely have to be A Day To Remember. In high school I listened to them religiously, but ever since 'You're Welcome' I've barely listen to them. I'll be seeing them next month at a festival for the first time ever (I live in Australia and I don't think they've been here since 2017) so I'll be getting back into their best soon

[@Alvari1]

I got into KSE a bit earlier (The End of Heartache) as I'm few years older, but I was biased because at that time I basically worshipped Howard Jones. When he left KSE, it dieded for me. Same story was with Three Days Grace when Adam Gontier left. New singers just didn't "clicked" for me in these two situations.

[@ben_dery4332]

For me what keeps me absolutely obsessed with architects is going back to there really old stuff like from the here and now, daybreak, and hollow crown since they're so diverse. Ofc LFLT, AOGHAU, and HH, and even FTTWTE are all incredible but diving into their stuff before that sparked Newfound interest in the band

[@DanielDafoe]

I just recently went back to Color Decay and god damn does it hit again. Every single time.

[@joshuavaughan8510]

This happens but give it a few years if these bands are still around you'll probably come back to loving them again after a break. I'm almost 40 and have had this happen multiple times.

[@SockLeft]

I do the same thing where I listen to a band too much and start to grow tired of them but ink has been the one exception, I will never grow tired of their music
