Man this latest album has helped me out so much emotionally. We are not alone love y'all

[@kouldood]

Love how supportive this comment section is ☺️ music should be about how you feel when writing the song, not how low you can feel

[@captainsnugleup]

I've been really enjoying the new music, at first I was like this is alright, but then I kept putting it on repeat and now it's the main part of my workout playlist

[@Stressy_JessyB]

i honestly love the new music. riptide literally gave me goosebumps all over my body and i instantly got it. thank you for helping us heal with your music. 💙

[@altercell_]

This is the best album of the last five years in the genre…and it’s so original and it still blows my mind. I’m so glad he is exploring this and we need MORE!

[@777mxr]

Dude, I LOVE these positive songs! I wish more bands in our scene sung about happier things (without being corny of course).

[@gregtheflyingwhale]

Concert energy has grown even more and that's all that matters. Imo this album reached a different audience and made BT even more popular that it was Perhaps the pink color is what drives some metalheads crazy XD

Beartooth 4 Life ❤ 2023 album of the year contender!

[@nolankuffner3573]

My FAVORITE example of a fanbase NOT being receptive to a band writing what they're experiencing at the time is everything that Misery Signals did with Karl Schubach. The idea there was 'why doesn't it sound like The Summer Ended In June?? This sucks!' And the fact is, a bunch of really awesome dudes DIED to make that album what it was. Like, the Ghost Inside didn't sell out that LA show because they had a fun new album coming out. No, they literally almost died and that's what came of it. Sometimes, I think fans tend to forget (or worse, dismiss) the traumas that some great records have been inspired by. Like, you wouldn't be able to convince someone who lived through a fatal car wreck to think about it in detail, all the time, constantly, if they didn't want to. It's why artists like Chester and Kurt and so many others aren't here anymore. They went too deep into traumas and never came out the other side. We've had enough tragic heroes, I'm ok with trying to move on. It's cool if all you want to hear are bodies being mutilated and stories of mythological beings devouring children, but man.. even heavy music is so much more than that.

[@Lifeneverlost]

Thank you Finn for asking this question! You did a good job making it not awkward and people are curiosity since it is a big chance from previous albums

[@Roguenjosh]

Love the album and the new direction, Caleb is an incredible frontman in every sense!

[@Tyler108x]

A little Josh jumpscare hiding in the comments. 👋

[@GrayWoIf]

Its a fun album. Its not as bad as when a day to remember went more pop.

[@AnythingJoes.]

Youre welcome is a dumpster fire lol

[@basicoptimalmouse]

Sunshine is one of the best songs in the whole heavy community. It's actually interesting musically and the breakdown is fat as butter.

[@ryanrowe1975]

The album is really good

[@gennarogiovannini1466]

Forget whoever's opinion said this album sucked. The Surface is an album that put this man's life back on track. If you're hating on a man for finding a place in life that makes him happy, then you're just hating. Let the dude be happy.

[@startervisions]

Substance abuse bad

[@jackcravford8744]

I get what these guys are saying, but it is not actually about for example me wanting from Caleb to be depressed so he can make Disgusting II. His first EP and LP are emotionally hardcore not because he is screaming his guts out, but because the music was way more raw and interesting. We had deep bass lines. Interesting drumming. Amp noises and guitar feedbacks. One take vocals. Minimal post-production autotune bullshit. Each song had its own topic - disgusting had alcoholism and relapsing, depression, looking for love, anti suicidal songs, about making people united against our sins, against parent abuse... and it felt raw and chaotic. Everything sounds now radio friendly with digital production and autotune everywhere. I am glad Caleb is doing alright but look at Norma Jean. 9 records, adults yet the music is still heavy, chaotic and dissonant and creative. Not to mention the fact that his lyrics were not teen angst - they felt more open, abstract and less cheesy. That is also gone as well.

[@TerminalKitty]

0:35 sec The Used are the FIRST thing that popped into my head

[@calebs1297]

I disagree with most people. I think this is the best Beartooth album yet. Metal needed this album

[@bdubberz]

It’s not better/worse. It’s just different. Some people are going to be with it, and others won’t.

[@Jmarden97]

I understand his pov but i just miss the old straight agresssion they had sick ep, agressive, disgusting those 3 albums are TOP TIER beartooth yea i liked disease and below but nowhere near early BT

[@aqualust5016]

Interview Shayley Bourget, I wanna know the truth behind his SA allegations

[@pecanpie45]

We love Caleb and the new record. when Caleb was 16 playing keys I was 14 jamming their horrible music

[@brendoloe5058]

It’s just easier to relate to the old shit cuz we’re still depressed things aren’t better now

[@nolankuffner3573]

True story: I'm 39, 40 VERY shortly. Worked a crap job making good money for almost 15 years. Did college. Had relationships. Wasn't happy. Got low, quit my job. Flipped to a new career 4 years ago, and guess what? I make more money than ever, I'm happier and I have a better, more supportive personal and professional crew. Not because life gave me a break. Because I MADE that shit happen. It's super easy to bitch about life being hard, and no. I don't know you. But here's the thing: do ANYTHING for 10+ years and not do anything to make it better but EXPECT it to get better and at some point, that shit is on YOU. You can change that. You can stop making excuses. You can stop accepting less and dragging your feet, but I guarantee it'll be harder. And I'll be damned if that isn't why it's still shit for you 🤷

[@brendoloe5058]

@@nolankuffner3573 that’s a great story man n good for you for finding happiness but I don’t find that in money or relationships, I don’t know where to find it and im obviously looking. But this get off your ass and be happy shit? I’m not broke I could find a relationship I love my family, ya kno? The way you found your peace is just simple brother and that’s good for you but get off your high horse g we’re not the same person!

[@Pnk_Rckr]

I can't believe there are people who solely want to listen to angry, depressing music. Repetition of the same stuff with the same feelings grows old quickly. Michael Jordan: "Stop it! Get some help!"

[@LRM5195]

The new album has such a good mix and energy, but I’m sorry it just has such a cheesy vibe. It’s not terrible but something about it turns me away and makes me say “eh it’s good but I’ll pass…” lol maybe it’ll grow on me more idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@j.9_6]

I agree. Cornball.

[@GabeBushman]

I wish he could still make raw music life from his first album it was his best honestly

[@LRM5195]

@@GabeBushman I find myself revisiting Disgusting quite a bit despite its angsty-teenage lyrics haha the album just goes hard. I remember when Aggressive came out after that and I pretty much fell off with the band

[@nolankuffner3573]

​@@LRM5195he changed. You stayed the same. Or that's when you peaked, so you hold it in high reverence because you personally were in a better place. Just wish fans of the band's older stuff could admit that to themselves and others 🤷

[@nolankuffner3573]

​@@GabeBushmane does make raw music. He's just not a pissed off kid raging against the world, trying to find his voice. If you haven't grown since then and think your life was better then, that's more so on you 😉

[@Tyler108x]

The fuck? Below and The Surface are equally good, and i think below is the best album since the earliest albums so thats saying something

[@jonathanhollier3314]

Only clicked bc of your new era dodger cap looks like the one I’m bout to buy and wanted to check it out! But sadly you’re rocking um, something a lil different 😒

[@DG-kr8pt]

He changed his cap 3 times throughout the podcast to be cool.

[@jonathanhollier3314]

@@DG-kr8pt that’s funny 😂but yea like I’m gonna watch more than 5 seconds of this 🙄😂👌

[@christianvancleave8972]

best album since disgusting

Maybe ditch the pink headband and put a shirt back on…

[@hardcorescissors582]

I believe he is wearing a shirt in this clip

There's no shame if you find that attractive bro

[@SolamenteTavo]

Its another Californian album, I love it so far, but you can tell there is Californian people involved

[@wadekays2536]

Imo the singles sucked ass but the album was actually really good

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

Only going to their show to see invent animate now that’s a great band
