[@theghostinsideofme]

Of all the things he said, explaining the struggle these musicians go through just to stay afloat, especially during tours. They deserve the money they make in their merch sales. Bars get the drink sales and the venues get people to come out for music playing there. I found new clubs and bars to check out because of these bands. Got to check out a bar because one of my favorite bands, AfterLife, was playing in my home city, got introduced to three new bands and fell in love with their sound. But touring is a struggle for bands, between driving, gas, groceries, parking and even paying for the venue space itself. A lot goes into what these musicians do, more than i could ever explain. As someone whose life was saved by music, im happy to help where i can. My friend explains it better, her words for all that she gives at merch tables, Everything helps, even if its enough to get the musicians fed and put gas in their tanks. Its worth giving. To save the music. And help support the creative minds behind it." Im glad someone said it out loud, because i still havent found my courage to do it But for someone as influential as this man to bring that struggle to light, gives me hope. Thank you. -maz, P.A.

I love how much he cares about music and wanting to make music that not just one genre will like. He sounds so sweet and genuine about it.

One of my favorite things about Bad Omens is how you can see Noah write a few bangers on his old twitch streams. I got to meet Noah and the band in 2017 at a warped tour. They were the sole reason I went, to see them play a 20 min set, get a t shirt and got it signed by the band. Now they're selling out arenas and one of the biggest metalcore esc bands in the world. I love it. Can't wait too see them again, and yes, if I meet the band I will have them sign a polaroid of the first time I met them. All great guys.

This was my album of the year last year. And I wasn't even that wowed by their older work. Hopefully this will finally get them out of BMTH shadow. With BMTH, their changes in direction have always screamed "it's for my career". From day one. Never saw the fuss in general. With this record from bad omens, it's clear this was done because they want to and so much more effort was put into the songwriting, vocals, everything. 15 tracks with no filler. Lookin forward to what's next.

@@jeux2322 BMTH? Yea. They were deathcore when it was big and profitable, then they were scenie metalcore when it was big and profitable, then they were architects-core when it was big and profitable and then when they did all they could do in the confines of those genres, they started collaborating with Halsey, mumble rappers and other top 40 outlets and I don't recall them being particularly great at any of it. They're businessmen. And when it comes to business, they're very good at it but that just isn't something I care for when it comes to music. They're also one of the worst live bands I've ever seen. With how good this new Bad Omens album is, hopefully they'll be looked at as Bad Omens instead of "some band that sounds like BMTH".
