A lot of this album brought tears jumping to my eyes. Soil II is such a gem of a song for long term fans. I felt I was back in early college when I discovered CP. Definitely hits hard in a different way 😭 Mirrors and the closer are just top tier songs for the genre. Loved the cleans and END influence here

I felt the exact same thing listening to Soil II. I'm a diehard TDBHAH fan and does it hit man (discovered them back in high school too) Fck I love this band

Please nobody get into a habit of shortening Counterparts to "cp"... not good for anyone involved here

dude same!!!! Soil and Witness were my two first Counterparts tracks. This was when the album TDBHAH came out like a month after and I've been hooked ever since.

The climax of the title track is just goosebump-inducing. Easily one of my favorite CP tracks of all time.

Album of the year for sure. Their last 5 albums may be the best 5 album run I’ve ever heard from any band or artist ever. Every one of those albums are perfect and some how each one has been better than the previous. Tears were shed.

Brendan has always been a fantastic lyricist and vocalist, but he dialed it up to 11 for this album. He’s cleans sound so good and I love when he incorporates the highs like you’d hear from END. This is my easy AotY so far

Great album (and reaction). I know exactly what you’re saying about music. That’s exactly how I feel with certain bands and albums. I just know when I’m listening that it’ll be “one of those songs or albums” that sticks in me like a tattoo. You’re definitely not alone in that feeling lol 🤘♥️

My first Counterparts album and I am impressed! Love how much emotion he can pack into his vocals, riffs were really interesting and loved the chuggy parts too! Like you, will need to read along with the lyrics next time, especially for "Whispers of your death" to try and catch the meaning (I'm assuming it's sad). Overall loved it and likely will be in my top 10. Interested to see if it has your number 1 spot at the end of the year!

You getting emotional throughout this album (especially for a Hardcore band), (no matter the emotion) says all it needs to say about this AOTY. 👊🏼 Also Sworn To Silence needs more praise I think😅 aside from the singles it’s so good.

When hell and home came out, my grandfather was diagnosed with alzheimers and dementia so when I heard Ghost that hit hard. when Tragedy release my grandfather was slowly fading away and when I heard Solace that hit even harder. Idk, this band just knows how to perfectly encompass those kinds of emotions and part of me wishes humans never have to deal with them. Years later, the boys are still putting out songs with the same emotions but still feel fresh. Eulogy was so god damn good 😪
