[@InkAndPoet]

This album currently sits at a 92/100 on Metacritic. Also, they're charting higher on Spotify's Viral 50 that Taylor Swift and Drake. I see THAT as a win!

[@SlothoftheSun]

Even Fantano gave it a 9. Absolutely incredible album that just constantly hits.

[@jamesadamgleason9471]

It's top 5 album of the year on many platforms encompassing all genres

[@LonestarNomad_]

The album title being “you won’t go before you’re supposed to” and the final words on the entire album being “if I finally choose to sleep … this life can be way too much; why’d you leave? I feel like I’ve failed” Whooo man what a record.

[@jamesadamgleason9471]

Bro the quiet birds chirping leading into that last breakdown!!

[@LichWorks]

bro sit and mourn made me feel things.. that riff is fucking tremendous.. what an album closer

[@Opfor444]

Take Me Home genuinely made me scared, great song

[@miredmind]

Moss + Take Me Home is eerie

[@uniservicemann3186]

I found it funny how this album didn't phase me in the slightest on an emotional level cause of not just how much extreme metal I've listened to but also from listening to so much Humanity's Last Breath last year😅

[@thecrimsonace3032]

Man I need to listen to some Lorna Shore to unwind after this.

[@DebunkingAzzholes]

lorna shore to unwind is crazy

[@uniservicemann3186]

I remember thinking Lorna would be one of the "heaviest" viral hits from this scene, then KL breaks loose. It's an interesting time in this music universe

[@thomaswatson6535]

[@jimmyv3942]

Such a good album, you can tell Brian losing his grandma made this albums lyrics and theme darker than the past albums.

[@cloneboy42]

Didn't his grandma pass away just last month though? This album had to have been written long before that.

[@invisibilly1946]

​@cloneboy42 I'm sure she was ill for some time so the concepts of loss and grief were definitely there for a while

[@GoodByeSkyHarborLive]

Is that what the album is about

[@thecasiorobinson]

The distorted ambient thing with the birds chirping is a cool little theme in this album. I heard it on Suffocate, The Calm That Keeps You Awake, Blinding Faith, and Sit & Mourn. It's so cool. Makes you feel like you're the girl in the album cover

[@GT-qv1gl]

It’s funny seeing harder to please reviewers like Fantano and Bradley heavily praising this album while the Metal and Hardcore communities are simultaneously hating on it.

[@dustinfoto]

let them enjoy their mediocore

[@Tonjit41]

I think that's because a lot of hardcore and metal fans see a great album as an album that accomplishes everything at once, while more explored listeners see a great album in a more realistic sense where an album should be critiqued against it's own creators intentions. this album was everything it tried to be.

[@Ericsaidful]

@@dustinfotoIt’s not medio-core, it’s radio-core. And honestly, people should stop generalizing the “metal” community. There are like 40 different sub-genres and everyone wants to guard their little corner of it. I prefer Knocked loose and Falling in Reverse to your typical radio-core, octane-core sounds. A lot of people get their metal from Spotify and Octane and it shows as well. I like what I like. People won’t change my opinion; in particular, clowns like Fantano who clearly gives his opinion based on what he thinks will generate the most clicks or views.

[@EuropeanBeerisBad]

….who is hating on it?

[@Admiral_Potato41]

Idk at this point I'm a borderline metal dinosaur (31) and grew up on the early 2000s deathcore and I thought this album was awesome. So was Dealers that dropped the same day. Is this album more "radio" friendly compared too their older stuff, sure. Im okay with that, it'll start to break down the wall for other metal bands too gain the popularity we all think they deserve. 15-20 years ago this kind of stuff wouldnt have been within a mile of a radio station/hit chart and I think that's pretty cool.

[@DMR_Videos]

If knocked loose did an ep like tear in the fabric of life, but modern/analog horror based, I’d be down for that

[@HaleSchlaggitoz]

I literally searched for this video the exact MOMENT it came out.

[@valenb2839]

same

[@paradoesntcare7275]

That part at the end of Take Me Home when at the peak of the dissidence "FUUCKIT" then it cuts to old time country feels like waking up from a nightmare and I can't get it out of my mind.

[@sethjenkins9263]

I think Nik found a band he likes more than Spiritbox

[@jacobwalters]

This album shows that Knocked Loose has become masters of the genre. The record is pushing the metalcore genre to new extremes. A true masterpiece.

[@Metatagz666]

The final track sit & mourn just makes me think this is written for about and Bry's grandmother that just recently passed away. It might not be, but when bry spoke about the loss when they played at midnight hour, he spoke about how important she was to him.

[@99albino]

They have officially knocked me loose

[@isolatedmic]

Who else was at the LA show where they brought Poppy out? Shit was wild. Saw them bring her out at sick new world as well and she killed it both times

[@josev4227]

I was at the LA show, that was so hype when she came out!

[@ashburncitystandup9707]

All about people bringing other artists on songs out live but how anyone can say that poppys parts live are anything but a dumpster fire is beyond me.

[@supaMcnugget09]

​@ashburncitystandup9707 yeah her voice on the suffocate recording is really good but her voice live is horrible imo

[@JoshLeitzel]

I saw Poppy live in 2020 during her I Disagree era and the screams were great. She’s legit. Hate to say it but maybe you just have to be there live to hear it. 🧐

You know when ANTHONY FANTANO gives this a HIGH 9, BOARDERING ON 10- with his ear for music, sound quality, production and music quality in general- that this album is the real deal. Also, Brad Taste in Music compared this to Converge’s Jane Doe. I agree with him.

[@mathiasha]

I find it so interesting all the small references that I found listening to the album. So many of the songs remind me of Norma Jean, particularly the “All Hail” and “Meridional” albums. I also found things that remind me of The Chariot specifically in “Take me home”. Also when listening to “The calm that keeps you awake” I got a strong Living Sacrifice vibe. And I also get a bit of Mychildren Mybride here and there. But the funniest little reference is at the very end of “Sit and mourn” the voice in the end immediately reminded me of Porter Robinson/Virtual Self. It’s weird to listen to something that feels to familiar, yet so new and heavy. I’d love to hear what other references y’all have found in the album 😊

[@RENX5]

I’ve had the album on repeat since it dropped. I know they’re a different deal, but KL is the only band that keeps filling the void that The Dillinger Escape Plan left when they stopped playing a few years ago and Architects became meh.

I went from being a long time listener of electronic (along with some rock and hip-hop here and there), finding out about Spiritbox through a collab they did with Illenium and I was like "is that her fucking screaming???" and suddenly Im getting immersed in their music. Then I found out about Sleep Token and while it took a bit to get on board with them..I am nevertheless fully in.......Then I hear this band, and I'm quickly realizing Spiritbox and Sleep Token's heavier/dissonant grooves were the palate cleanser before watching this video 🤣🤣🤣 heard of this band but literally never listened to them until today..and I'm sold!🤘🤘🤘

"Knocked Loose were cool before they went mainstream and super woke." -A comment I've seen a few times the last few days, sadly. Sigh.

[@ryanbollinger1759]

The literal first song on the first knocked loose album was about Bryan’s best friend that (happened to be gay) being the victim of a hate crime. The man helped write Slaughterhouse and wrote Slaughterhouse 2, both songs with blatantly anti-fascist, socialist talking points. Knocked Loose is based as all hell and they’ve been leftist their whole career. Most hardcore and Metalcore bands are that way. Conservatives shouldn’t ask Kublai khan what True Fear or No Kin is about.
