Honestly I personally wouldn't. They've given 2 10/10 albums in the past 2 years, they have more than enough music to tour all year with, the next possible project will more than likely be an tour EP like what most bands are doind nowadays. Or go the Enter Shikari route and just drop singles until they feel like dropping an album

[@paulathienides1376]

@@antondavies3136there are a few things wrong with your comment. Firstly, it doesn’t come across as a middle finger. Definitely a satirical response summarised by “are you happy now?” Architects don’t come across as a band that would alienate their fan base however, we all know the internet harbours some of the worst aspects of human social skills and total disregard for basic courtesy. Hence, “rip they commented” and “won’t somebody tell me what i believe”. This is not a middle finger to the fan base, just a very intelligent use of dissenting views stemming online around their more recent releases. Anyone who knows architects catalogue and has seen them live would be quite aware that they are one of the most iconic bands of the genre.

The Abbey Road album you guys did has literally opened so many doors musically for me and made me explore so many avenues and sounds I never would have without you guys, and I will be eternally grateful to you all for expanding my music tastes. It probably gets exhausting the way some people talk and act about you guys and honestly fuck those people, they don't deserve your hard work and authenticity and they can listen to the same r/metalcore slop with their 5 bands all copying eachother.

For me, “classic symptoms,” tied with my favorite record from them. By contrast, “For Those That Wish,” I think had some of their best lyrical themes ever along with, “All Our Gods,” &, “Holy Hell,” but I didn’t enjoy, “For Those That Wish,” aside from, “Animals,” and, “Dying Is Absolutely Safe.” Also, their album cover for, “For Those That Wish,” is probably one of the SICest album covers I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile, “classic symptoms,” accounts for most of my listening time every January along with BMTH’s, “amo.” Architects, Stray From The Path, and Bring Me have just been on another Fuckin level lately.

@@grendels-mother I think it could be argued that people just didn't like the previous album because it just wasn't great or very unique, not because it was lacking in heaviness or screams. I started listening to Architects with FTTWTE, and I loved everything on that album (Black Lungs was slightly meh, but it was still decent). Unlike most other Architects fans I'm not attached to the old albums and I don't really like them, but man the previous album just didn't hit it for me. It has moments of greatness, but most of the tracks just feel like they go nowhere or just have something missing, so it's not like the album is bad, it just isn't good. Also Sam's voice just starts sounding a little grating, because most of the time is spent singing in the same style, I really wish he would have tried mixing some of his softer singing style. And honestly, after a second listen, this track isn't hitting it either. Maybe it's just that I like the grandiose sound of FTTWTE.

I like it, a lot of people out here complaining about chorus’s like shut up. Architects actually has some of the best chorus’s in my opinion. And they also put a lot expressions and plays on words with an almost biblical way of delivering lines. Architects is a great band hands down

[@me-myself-and-i-u7b]

Wow, this is a good chunk of of clear raw metalcore energy.

[@abelestrada-vb9uq]

I can’t get this song out of my head. You guys did a great job

[@BlackRockSword96]

Been a fan of you guys for almost 10 years. Still remember when I went to get LFLT just out of the blue, only listened to one song I think but I just went out to get it and never stopped listening to your music since that day. No matter what musical direction you go I will follow. Love everything about this song, how it blends together almost every aspect of every album you guys have written. The "I felt it when they said" part hit me so hard I couldn't help but cry. Keep rocking and do what you love!

[@chadrogers3575]

I think people forget that music is an art, and this band plays what they feel at that time. What this band has been through is unbearable to say the least.. I wish no one has to ever go through that. If you're a true fan of art (music) and a fan of this band we have to give them the respect they deserve!!! I've been a fan since the first time that this music hit my ears 12 years ago. So thank you guys, for getting me through some of the darkest times and best times of my life!!! You have no idea what you have done for me. So thank you guys.

[@espressoshot21]

LOVE IT! I'll be proudly showing off my Architects tats today 🤩New album + US tour announcement soon?!

[@panthersfreak02]

I just got notifications about a tour in May in the US!

[@uraganslez]

Damn guys, this song is fire! Riff with guitar scratches, dynamic pauses in the breakdown, contrast between clean and extreme vocals, Blegh! You guys are the best. Architects forever!!!

[@richardsinclair7661]

The "guitar scratches" thing is called a pick scrape. They're pretty common now and a lot of bands use them, but it wasn't always like that, especially not in metalcore. Gojira popularized the use of pick scrapes. So much so that you'll hear a lot of people refer to them as "Gojira scrapes" Not being condescending, just attempting to be informative.

[@HijoDelHongo]

​@@richardsinclair7661let's not forget Morbid Angel. I think Gojira actually got a bunch of their influence from early Morbid Angel.

[@gavrobertsdj]

What an anthem all round The message, the breakdown, the progression, the production, panning, return of the blegh, love that sam brings back that vocal style from the gods album in the outro

[@RAWMUSICTV]

Oh my god I love this band sooooo much!!!

[@danyjadot]

I love all Architects. Can't stop listening to this on repeat for the last few weeks. A huge FU to haters, that's brilliant creative work right here. Nailing it is an understatement. Wow! And the fist move with lights kinda thing at 1:50 is badass!

[@ROADKING97_]

Badass af

[@SrarWhiteDream]

I just love how metal bands are asking Mick Gordon to help mix their sounds and Mick is like "Hell Yeah!" Monuments and now Architects 😮 Keep up the good work! I love everything about you guys!

[@LegendarySnakeV]

I have been an Architects fan since I discovered them in 2019 and honestly I love all of their works. All albums have something different to share and I love their humanity and the quality of their contents. I’m always happy when they are dropping something new. Keep up the good work, true fans will always be there.

[@mannyblackstar]

New album sucks. Don't be a naive. The creativity has gone since Tom left. Last good album was Holy Hell. I've been following them since 2009. It's not the same anymore.

[@fourseven6202]

I feel like the new stuff (last 2 albums) are poppy and thats why it mostly appeals to the younger (gen z) audience, almost as if the heavy stuff scares them or something lol@@mannyblackstar

[@mannyblackstar]

@@fourseven6202 which sucks. They should've gone with some banger with this new album for the sake of old fans. Looks like all the attention is for the new audience. It's the same happened with Parkway drive. But I still love PWD. But Architects has sadly turned into Artifacts because they are long gone. It hurts.

[@fourseven6202]

Yeah agree.. happens with most metal bands sadly, they just lose their edge and focus on making money ie becoming more radiofriendly and poppy@@mannyblackstar

I had a hard day at work. I have inflammation in my throat and the pain is hitting my teeth. I just got home from work and it is now 23.50 here. While waiting for the painkillers to take effect, I saw your new song. Life started to get better since I started listening to the song. With love and respect from Turkey.

What a song 😍 Love those lyrics as well. Going out straight to everyone who hated on them when they went less heavy on the last two albums.

Killer. Doesn't sound the same as everything else, yet it follows the best recipe. Heavy AF, catchy chorus. Love it.

[@render_the_void]

“catchy” sounds like a pop music attribute

[@th3m1ke]

I love how everyone is like "finally a heavy song!" while the lyrics are talking about the negatives of fans being mad they've progressed musically past only heavy songs.

[@grooties4764]

Progressed musically is an interesting way to put it

[@phlumt]

@@grooties4764it’s exactly the way to put it. I’m glad they changed their sound, I was sick of hearing the same drum and guitar chug for 11 songs for the past 3 albums.

[@grooties4764]

@@phlumt FTTWTE was a great album, but their latest was just ass

[@northwindkey]

@@phlumt The solution isn't to reduce the heaviness. The solution to a stagnant heavy sound isn't to remove the heavy, it's to try and push for new ideas in the heavy. New Architects isn't less stagnant than old Architects, it's just the same stagnation with more clean vocals. More clean vocals doesn't equal more creativity, it doesn't mean anything other than... more clean vocals. And here's the thing, I'm not even against a band going lighter. FFS, I like amo. I think amo is a great album, and it's lighter than anything Architects ever did. But amo was legitimately experimental, and creative, and varied. Recent Architects is homogenous, samey, and bland. If my only two choices are slightly bland heavy and slightly bland light, I'll choose slightly bland heavy even though I'd much rather have something heavy or light that wasn't bland at all.

[@JackieSt]

wow, absolutely in love with this one. Got goosebumps the second the clean vocals kicked in. Thank you Architects for another masterpiece x

[@matthewhenkel2389]

​@s.h.1639 then don't listen to it? Yet here you are!

[@northwindkey]

@@nikkehtine Eh it kinda does. Not because "hurr durr not heavy enough". I mean, I like amo. Clearly that's not my issue. But because it all sounds the same. Aside from "Meteor", which is a legitimately awesome song, and "Discourse is Dead", which I only know because it rips off a Like Moths To Flames chorus almost verbatim, I cannot tell any songs on the last main Architects albums apart from each other. They all blend together. There's very little variety or memorability to their recent songs. It's not overtly "bad". But when every song sounds the same, it feels worse than it might actually be. Credit to an album as poppy as amo, that album brims with variety. From the trance beats of nihilist blues to the nu metal of wonderful life to the r&b elements of mother tongue. It's light, but it's varied and creative. Modern Architects has just been the same few song ideas done over and over and over and over again.

Years ago in Melbourne Australia you lads came to st Kilda for a smaller show and I had never crowd surfed before and a bunch of lads threw me up on top of thee mosh and proceeded to send me up front. I was proudly wearing my sea Shepherd singlet and Mr Sam Carter saw this and pulled me in and you put your forehead onto mine and screamed during the song downfall right into my soul and it was the greatest moment ever.
