Beartooth - "Disgusting" (Album Review)

[@kitty-ld1rx]

God I'm too much of a coward to give you my life And I know that I'm still gonna cry every single night But if you want me I'm gonna stay here and fight till you say son your heart is mine im not really religious or something but these lines just got me ... i cried when i first listened to sick and disgusting & the whole album is so emotional..personally i think its pretty much one of the best albums realised in a while!

Honestly, this album cracked Beartooth into my favorite band slot. I started listening after the 5/5 you gave it, and dude, not even remotely disappointed in anything Beartooth has put out (even the weaker tracks like Set Me On Fire off of the Sick EP). Every friend I have shown Beartooth to has absolutely LOVED them, and I am super pumped to see them live next month with Silverstein. This is literally the only time in my life I think a review has changed my life, and it's for the better. Beartooth gave me an appreciation for Attack Attack, but every song describes a moment in my life almost note for note. Hell, this is the only album that has made me cry, because just listening to Sick and Disgusting BREAKS me. It just reminds me of the lowest point in my life. I don't agree with a lot of the reviews I have watched from you, but dude, never has an album hit me or my friends so hard, and it's all because of this review. Thanks for making me aware of this band/album man, and here's to this album being in the Top albums of the year!

[@Penguin_king93]

Beartooth is amazing! one of my new band out there today!

[@pannkakesangen]

i gotta say, this is your best review in a while :)

[@artvjon]

Thanks! It's probably because this is the most passionate I've felt about an album in awhile!

[@MitchFartFlyNhi]

Dude I love Beartooth so much. I heard of them first when I saw them on tour with August Burns Red. There's just so much emotion and honestly and brutality in their music. It just stands out so much to me because of that. There is way to many music these days that is so hollow and emotionless. Then I hear Beartooth, and it all just shows the emotions I feel inside of myself. It's awesome. If you want to check out an album that's similar as far as emotion and goes, you should listen to "Rescue and Restore" by August Burns Red. I'm sure you'd enjoy that to.

[@artvjon]

AGREED! Hollow and emotionless is how I feel about so much music in the hardcore and metalcore genres, this was such a pleasant surprise. I would LOVE to see them live! Thanks, I'll check that album out!

[@davidsoux]

I was obsessed with Attack Attack! and Caleb and John leaving the band tore a hole in my heart. The day after their departure, Caleb released I Have A Problem and I knew him leaving was probably the best thing that has happened in his career. Now I've been obsessed with Beartooth since day 1. Who knew a kid who drops out of high school can go out to start great things.

[@MaarnegyeDeraj]

Good review dude! I completely agree with you on this being the best album of 2014 so far. I love this album so much. And Caleb has one of my favourite screams and his singing is amazing. I was in a raw hardcore band and I am a huge The Chariot fan so the rawness of this album is great for me. Anyways great review, keep up the good work!

[@DeadFateComms]

I've been listening to it just as much, and loving it just as much. Fantastic stuff

[@alexanderchilton911]

I get that musicians often write about themselves in their lyrics but remember like any other poetry, novels or short stories - The "I" in the songs isn't always equal the author. More often that not the author of a song will take the perspective of a close friend or maybe he will but himself in the place of someone else. I think Dexter from The Offspring explained it doing one of his interviews, how he hates that everyone associates the "narrator" in his lyrics as himself. Not saying that this is the case with this album - You just never know for sure.

[@hatboy9991]

I had never hear of Beartooth before, so I listened to them after watching this review. At first I was like, it's OK, but I don't think it's that great. Then I started hearing the songs playing over and over in my head. Now, I think I'm a little obsessed with this album.

[@artvjon]

That's what I like to hear man!

[@LuisEO33]

First song I heard by Beartooth was I have a problem last year and I Loved it haha

[@anowicki23]

Fantastic review and the choruses on I Have A Problem, In Between, and Beaten In Lips really hit me. Love every song on this album and can't wait to see and hopefully meet them at Warped this year. This will probably be my album of the year unless Linkin Park's album ends up being flawless and so far it is IMO but idk if that will hold up.

[@lusciouseyes101]

Thank you so much for reviewing this! You made me feel like I had to listen to it and I'm obsessed. I haven't heard an album with such passion and emotion in a long time. So good.

[@artvjon]

You're welcome! So glad you're loving it too! Very passionate record.

[@toseakinmola1753]

Yep. I only listen to a few hardcore/metalcore bands, but these guys killed it. The lyrics are raw, honest, even uncomfortable; that makes all the difference. And I can't believe he played and produced everything HIMSELF! Every song has a great chorus. Positive. Just loving Beartooth right now.

[@brettwodon5896]

glad to see this get a great score. Love this sooo much. Once you compared Beaten In Lips to Billy Talent I sung it to myself and totally understood what you meant. I think Billy Talent's singer would be a great fit for that chorus

[@brettwodon5896]

and you're right about the spiritual thing. I'm not really a religious person, and even though Caleb is sort of religious, he doesn't force it into the music.

[@theMetalBeatle]

Pretty much all of my thoughts since I started listening to them, great vid!

[@TonyTheFloridian]

I'm so glad you reviewed this. Enjoyed your review a ton. Maybe you could review For All Those Sleeping "Incomplete Me" Which is coming out this month

[@samwelsh1846]

You really opened me up to this genre of music with A Day To Remember and ive got to say im very impressed by this recommendation, i think Body Bag and the lines have got to be my favorites off the album, but cant wait till the full thing drops. Id like to recommend alter bridge's album "fortress" that they dropped last october. i really dug it and am interested to hear if you have anything to say. thanks!

[@artvjon]

Awesome, I'm glad to hear that! I actually own Fortress, got in late :( I like it a wholeeee lot but I figured it was a little late for a review. I think it was the best straight up rock record of 2013.

[@samwelsh1846]

AlbumReviewTV Funny you say that because i only got fortress last month, and i loved it. Im not sure it tops Like Clockwork for me... we'll see with more listens. By the way, im anxiously anticipating you're review of hunting party. (almost as much as the album itself. Ha)

[@nicolesummers1771]

Great review, I absolutely LOVE Beartooth. Caleb Shomo really did an amazing job with this album, I'm excited to see the future album(s) of this band and how he'll follow up the masterpiece 'Disgusting" turned out to be.

[@nicolesummers1771]

I don't really know if you take requests for album reviews, but if you do; could you review The Amity Affliction's newest album 'Let the Ocean Take Me'? They''re one of my favorite band's and I love the album. I feel I would enjoy listening to another person's opinions and views on it. :)

[@chloemiller8484]

I agree 100% It's such a raw album and I connected to his passion instantly.

[@ronin9361]

"Sounds a lot like Billy Talent in the chorus" good! Billy Talent is the best fucking band ever

[@WiwomWill]

Haha disregard my last comment. I decided to download the album and give a try and I can't stop listening to it. Thanks for the review.The lines, beaten in the lips, ignorance is bliss, in between, one more. Those are my favorites from the album.

[@artvjon]

Nice man, great to see you come around on this one!

[@melodytillparadise5389]

John I live your reviews !

[@КешаКрыжановский]

'Disgusting' is just perfect. Nothing left to say after it.

[@Taxman5scotty]

I thought I was the only one who thought the chorus sounded like Billy Talent! Lol. Good review as always! Love this album to death.

[@obliviongaming9883]

I was recommended this album by some of my friends whenever I was really depressed. I listened to the album all the way through and I cried so many times. I honestly never thought I'd get so emotional while listening to an album before this.

[@halicandrops9753]

I also loved the humility and integrity of this record's lyrics.

[@b-proggy7242]

I knew they were a band to follow after I saw them while touring on their first EP.

[@dprvixx]

I am very glad that this got a 5/5. I have listened to this album all the way through only once but I have to agree with you that it is absolutely brilliant. Most albums need at least two listens for me to feel like I can form an opinion but with this one I was hooked from the first song. It definitely deserves the score that you gave it.

[@20110956711]

I 100% agree with you.

[@chrisrulli1583]

Please do a review on Nightmare's new album Suspiria :)

[@84tylse]

My all time favorite band is Of Mice & Men... so for me to say that I like this album more than Restoring Force as a top 2014 release means A LOT. That aside, Me in My Own Head and Sick and Disgusting are easily my favorites on the album. Never has a closing on an album left me so in shock (in a good way though)

[@JasonMusicReviews]

I'm not very religious but I respect everyone's views. I can't wait to check out this record and hear how he expresses things. I love anything that is poetic. Thanks for this video, I'll be checking this record out right now!

[@artvjon]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy, you're welcome!

[@SomewhereInMyCollection]

Check out Being As An Ocean! Great review!

[@carolynconway3564]

This record is so raw especially listening to caleb cry in his song sick and disgusting

[@Lonewolfx6]

AlbumReviewTV thought's on the track body bag? a real favorite of mine.

[@artvjon]

A solid track for sure, and it's grown on me a lot! Not one of my top favorites but not one I would ever skip!

[@Lonewolfx6]

i agree it's pretty energizing to me. So question If you can Decide? which song's would be your top 3? Mine would be in no specific order the lines, beaten in lips, in between. AlbumReviewTV

[@artvjon]

I Have A Problem, Beaten In Lips, In Between!

[@toseakinmola1753]

I agree. It's easily my album favorite.

[@demaurimitchell3167]

I believe ignorance is bliss and relapsing is really underrated in this album.

[@jackcravford8744]

except the line "it's killing me" is fucking depressing on Ignorance is bliss.

[@coding_den]

Great Review!

[@joemesey410]

Before I say the negative side of things let me start off with saying the positives. I am a fan of Beartooth based off the very punk inspired elements of the instrumentals. I have been a fan of Caleb since This Means War from Attack Attack. The lyrics in these songs are wonderful. There is just one thing I can not stand from this album, and that is the production value. The tones on the instruments sounded to flat. A good example of this is in Beaten In Lips. On the breakdown you can just hear how flat the guitar sounds. All in all though if someone else mixed and mastered I would be far more impressed, but I did enjoy the album as a whole.

[@turnertreers6760]

The lyrics is what really got me

[@declanlee4909]

I really like this but I have to say. Caleb never suffered with alcoholism, more about how he feels worthless.

[@bladexeon]

Whats your opinion on Sick and Disgusting? where Shomo actually cries on record.

[@artvjon]

Check the 6:28 mark I talked about it

[@scottlucas4379]

The thing about beartooth is Caleb has all the attention, the band as a whole should be acknowledged not sure why caleb recorded all the instruments himself

[@markt5090]

Because he wrote the entire album himself. Its his project, the lyrics and the music are a representation of himself. He just needed a crew to play the tracks live.

[@roadofross4897]

Beartooth is basically a musical representation of Caleb himself, the touring members are some close friends of his. Why would you put the work into writing all the instrumental parts, just to give others the credit for it?

[@icharosyidi995]

I feel 100% the same as you!

[@MaGiCAjust]

keep your american dream is my favorite song on it.

[@ZVYW]

I agree that "Disgusting" is a great song that bleeds rage, but why do you like this song and not "You Make Me Sick" by Of Mice and Men

[@artvjon]

Because it feels REAL and not forced. Totally different lyrical messages as well.

[@ZVYW]

Thanks for the explanation, love you reviews! I know it's a little late but would you do From Death To Destiny by Asking Alexandria. I wanna see what you have to say

[@WiwomWill]

I tried to like this but I just hate the screaming. Clean vocals are good. Review a breaking benjamin album? And I'm sure the hunting party will shit on this album.

[@AlbanianGoose]

WiwomWill you sound like a pussy

[@CaptainAmazing6969]

this is most definitely one of the best albums I've heard in quite some time but, I will say that the last track disturbs me and makes me cringe

[@crisalmazan4967]

I could never get into beartooth... Too religious with the line "Go be the voice of god". I don't wanna be the voice of god. I love Caleb. All his projects and music I loved but I can't just. It's all about the music but lyrics and the message it's sending matter

[@alixmalone19]

Huh...I thought of it as, "Stop relying on others and be the only person to answer to is yourself". Yours works too.

[@WildWing2007]

I get the appreciation for the instrumentation.... But Caleb's vocals are so bad I stopped listening to it after a I heard all the songs AltPress streamed. The lyrics and music are good, but Caleb's vocals are probably some of the worst I heard. How this scored higher than Real. Is beyond my mind. I disagree with your opinion, though you are entitled to it.

[@chrisstokes8844]

Same. lol
