[@CarlosHuiskens]

Bring Me The Horizon are in the same about that Linkin Park was. The band is simply to creative to stick with one specific sound. A lot of people were upset that Linkin Park got less heavy since Minutes to Midnight and moved away from their Nu-Metal style but even without doing Nu-Metal the band had a very distinct sound by which people would immediately know it's Linkin Park. Just like Linkin Park before them BMTH has embranced that creativity and the freedom to be able to try and experiment with different sounds. Just look at Post-Human: Survival Horror. It's much heavier then people were expecting but people said the same about Linkin Park's Hunting Party album. I've always felt that Linkin Park somewhat opened the door for bands to be different. It wasn't much accepted and appreciated when Linkin Park did it but when BMTH came out with a very pop-oriented album it was celebrated and viewed as a daring album. So I'm at least glad that bands these days don't feel the pressure as much as sticking with a specific sound just to appease a specific set of fans.

[@rohanharikumar1249]

Well said buddy. Completely agree with you

Agree with you, but to be fair the "Experimental phase" of BMTH is way better than Linkin Park, i mean yeah, Livin Things , ATS and One more light are good but any other experimental album of BMTH is more solid.

I saw them live back when they were touring the suicide season album in toronto. He'll of a show. Been a fan since they're 1st album up till the 4th album. I was mad at the band going in a totally different direction and thought it was a waste of time for them for trying other shit but then again, thats what bands do. They mature and eventually grow out of their old roots. Anyways, cool band just wish they could bring back the heavier stuff back. SS is my favorite album.

The fact that I still see people asking is kinda surprising. Hell even Amo had some songs on there that could fit in as a B-Side to Sempiternal. The new releases still have some edge to it. They never really went entirely “soft.” Are they deathcore? No. But will I still throw things around a room to their music? Yeah! :D BMTH is great and are honestly at a point where they could put out some acoustic music and it’d probably be dope and still have that BMTH edge.

Honestly, I never really liked BMTH until the song Thrones came out. I've really loved the direction they've taken their music since then and always vibe to it on long car trips. When i try to listen to their pre That's The Spirit tracks I cringe. I don't think it's a good idea to stop making music for their early audience, however I do also see the value in progressing and changing your sound frequently enough to stay fresh and keep growing an audience. Otherwise you end up like Metallica, with a dwindling core audience of 40-60yr olds and no room for growth

[@zacharyengle4256]

What an ignorant dumb comment! "Otherwise you end up like Metallica". I'm far from being a Metallica fan, but what do you mean by that? End up like Metallica, that is (still) probably the biggest metal act in the world, along with Iron Maiden, and one of the biggest names on the world music industry overall? That are still playing live and making new music, for more than 40 years?! These or any other kids wish to end up like them!! And a " audience of 40-60yr"?! That is how loyalty looks. There are probably fans that were with the band since they one, among those 40-60yr. What more can you asked for? I can understand your point, but is better having that, that 20 yo cheering for you one day and don't giving a f@ck to "you" the next day because they found a "new toy". Also, the Metallica guys are in their 60s! What did you expect? That they start making music with synthesizers and computers and release singles with Cardi B and David Guetta just to please and attract new potential younger fans? Pathetic from all angles. That would be the definition of posers and cash grabbers. Like I said, I'm not a fan of Metallica, but they don't have to prove nothing to nobody no more. Please send me pictures/video from a BMTH concert audience in 20 years from now. I want to see what an enlightened, always growing, diverse audience looks like. You think that this things work like exponential growth. Obviously you don't know shit.

So many of my ex-favorite bands have made "the switch" and I've been kinda okay with it because it unlocked some sort of gateway for me to start searching for something else to listen to. Bring Me The Horizon, Parkway Drive, For The Fallen Dreams, A Day To Remember, In Hearts Wake etc. I remember discovering ERRA right after Parkway hopped on the "dad rock train" and I haven't missed them one bit. Recently I was so excited about Spiritbox because of their EP and older singles (Rule of Nines, Holy Roller, Blessed Be)... but once again, something happened after their official debut album came out. It's probably just the bands' realization of getting more exposure and money (people gotta eat) if they just keep doing the rock radio thing after they get their foot in the door with actual good stuff.

[@toddself5838]

[@JhamEntertainment]

What bothers me about most metalcore bands who transition into hard rock/octane radio stuff is they don’t seem to even try to move the needle. Instead of slightly raising the bar for creativity in rock, they basically remaster a solid rock album from 12 years ago. It’s a bummer because I actually think it’s a miscalculation. People today, especially younger people, are very open to different takes on heavy genres. But instead of carving out their own audience, they give right into the dad rock festival sound. SPIRITBOX is a great example. Started out pretty interesting with a ton of potential. Now they’re turning into an over hyped Evanescence. Ghostemane, Poppy, PVRIS, MOTHICA, SCARLXRD are all examples of how creative spins on rock and metal can be interesting and catered to new audiences. You don’t have to love them, but at least they aren’t rehashing Evanescence every single. It’s not to say these bands are all making bad music. I actually think SPIRITBOX and ADTR have made some very good rock singles. But we’ve all heard it before by now.
