I absolutely love this band. I also love Chris' vocals. You have to, HAVE to admire the skill of everyone in this band. Regardless of your labels, of your unkind words. This band speaks very well, what it believes it needs to say. They have a vision and they are making it happen. I admire that, and I love this shit.

[@Kor1134]

The vocals are a complete dichotomy to the aggressive nature of the melody, they don't mesh at all. The vocalist sounds like a fucking pansy, he belongs in an alternative or pop band.

Dan The-Man “Im a big strong man I need to make sure everyone knows how much of a big strong man I am” get over yourself

[@Kor1134]

@@Wth969 actually, I'm a scrupulous, scrawny geek. Clean vocals *can* be done well in metal music, like in Deftones for example, but it's a very small niche. This song is like a bad rollercoaster, it amps up as you approach the crest of the 1st peak, and it just teeters at the top it never delivers the payoff; or like driving a top-fuel dragster at 60mph, such a waste of potential.

Ways have changed Guiders of the open wind you make me understand Again and again you make the same mistakes I can't ask to make that change Their bodies official The guardians of the stream Now, we're sailing across the world Provided a place to stay Whatever the cost that makes us different Dare to look away For better or worse I'm sure We'll ride along this wave Whatever the cost that takes us distant Dare to walk that way The great ocean Takes laughter With hollowing How could we live inside of a ship that's been slowly abandoned Taken by the cold?

I miss Chris... Andy's good but.. Chris was different.

[@yellowgreen1366]

Chris used to be good

[@corvus418]

Honestly, Andy is so generic compared to this and Gnosis, back when Monuments had their own unique sound instead of sounding like every other band.

[@mattce988]

this band is surprisingly unpopular. so many metalcore bands are getting millions of views on their videos.... but not them?! dafuq??

[@jozza177]

Not metalcore. At all.

[@mickekarlsson209]

jozza It's progressive metalcore. Metalcore with actual guitarplaying!

[@jozza177]

progressive metal*, it has nothing to do with core

[@Demiurge66]

This is not metalcore it's progressive metal, and the genre progressive metal as a whole is not mainstream in the first place.

[@philippecorre4352]

This band is revolutionary! We need more and more of that pretty music 🤘👌

[@ryanexsus]

It's like Meshuggah meets Sevendust. I kinda like it

[@Lateralusaint.]

agreed.

[@bigjordan456]

These guys are way more consistent with their quality of music for me. I have been listening to periphery since the demo take days with jake veredika, and it's just a real hit or miss with them with their albums as a whole. Periphery still have some incredible songs no doubt and I appreciate and enjoy their music.

[@richburnsred]

I completely agree mate. Periphery have some incredible tracks but their albums as a whole are kind of "meh" in my eyes. Such a shame, because their good songs are insanely good!

[@specialed171]

I feel the exact same way

[@bigjordan456]

John browne is grossly underrated as a guitarist As well. He writes some some of the most interesting riffs. They have this crazy mixture of melody and crushing rhythmic ostinatos. I never feel like any of the riffs are half assed or just meant to be filler.

[@CareyPortnoyBeauford]

You guys really brought it in Atlanta this week. Left a bigger fan, everybody was great but drummer caught my attention on this song. Play the ending riff on snare only with 16 notes, it goes accent left and then everything is off beat accent right, I fucking love it. Kudos

[@seanverberne9550]

Awesome, excellent creativity here. A mix of technicality and groove, these guys are amazing and deserve much support, a great album of material as well. Thank you.

[@Dante-xf1mu]

This is their first song which I've heard and already in love with them!!

[@Lukelo92]

Are you people listening to ANY of the guitarwork or are you just spewing garbage because of the new vocalist? If you think this band isn't kicking the shit out of the progressive metal scene, you must have cookies for ears. Go listen to Gnosis, then try to tell me Monuments sounds like other prog bands. smh

[@soysauce9296]

You sir, you fucking get it. Browne is a fucking groove-writing machine with a mechanical picking-hand, and IMO, just a genius composer as well. Most of the dislikes on this video are probably from people that listen to it and only hear the vocals and general feel, while the rhythmic intricacies go completely unnoticed.

[@Posirep]

Except Gnosis is a far better album. After listening to The Amanuensis a shitload of times...Every song sounds the same...which is something I can't really say for Gnosis. I'm not a huge Chris Barretto fan but I had no problem with the vocals. It was really just the song writing. I just think Browne wrote better songs on Gnosis.

[@isaiahperrry]

William L You must have oddly shaped ears.

[@tybean92]

Personally i don't care for the singing, just a subjective thing. I got to see them live a few nights ago and unfortunately the singer had a cold and couldn't sing, so he played sax. I can now say that I like him playing sax better. So yeah I will say the singing isn't for me, I mean hes a good singer but just sounds better with sax to me.

[@Nagheenanajar]

tybean92 He rocked the hell out of that sax in Cleveland. Great show

For those of you that do know this I apologize for making you read this sentence or two. For those who don't know this, Chris Barretto (Current Monuments Vocalist) WAS in Periphery before Spencer Stotelo became the vocalist. That's why some of their songs sound a little Periphery-like.
