@@sarcasm4371 yeah but music its subjective, for me IT was pretty awesome

[@sarcasm4371]

@@adumbmf8754 it is subjective, but I feel like there are some things that you can argue. Like the lack of technical guitar riffs that made Architects stand out and their unique lyricism on albums like LF//LT and Daybreaker. Idk, the repetition of the lyrics in this song in particular gives it that radio poppy kind of sound which gives a generic feeling. It's not a bad song, it just doesn't blow me away like the cleans and softer songs on Hollow Crown and Daybreaker did.

[@adumbmf8754]

[@theillusionologist8311]

K-Killswitch Engage: New Awakening: I drove through a town full of rich folks with my car windows rolled down and this song blasting on my CD player. The best part was when I freaked out these two chics in the vehicle next to me because they heard what music was coming from my vehicle, and here I was completely calm, wearing my sunglasses, and nodding my head to the music instead of headbanging which would be the expected reaction to the sound billowing from my car.

[@louisortiz0133]

I see Architects , I can in the speed of light . My favorite band

[@adalaleman7414]

That line that you liked "I just wanna live and die in peace" is a referece to a song on his previous album. The song is"Memento Mori" you will enjoy that one. There is an acoustic version at the Royal Albert Hall that it's amazing but is no longer on youtube. They played that one right after "Dead Butterflies"... with the theater completely empty.

[@Denraeah08]

This has a real Periphery feel to it and I'm here for it!

[@seasicksailor8845]

I'm never tired of asking u, GOJIRA, "the axe" from the album "L'Enfant sauvage". That song is a spiritual experience.

[@soulsfang]

That attacking those negative thoughts is a great habit to get into. I've always done it sort of subconsciously/habitually so a lot of the time when I'm feeling really down, it doesn't happen because I'm not aware that I'm doing it on the regular. Pointing it out bring it to the forefront though, and thats something to latch onto when drowning. Thanks Alex!

My strategy with negative thoughts is Recognize, Rebuke, Replace. Recognize the negative thought. Rebuke it by telling it that it’s wrong. Then Replace it with several good/positive thoughts.

Best songs: Animals, Black Lungs, Libertine (one of my favorites 🔥🔥), Impermanence (ft. Winston McCall), Little Wonder (ft. Mike Kerr - also one of my favorites 🔥🔥), Goliath (ft. Simon Neil), and Demi God (love the egyptian vibe). Easily one of the best albums of 2021, and the year barely started. No words to express how much this band has evolved since the early days.

Wow what a song. Instantly adding to my playlist. I feel like they are going a similar (but maybe slightly more progressive) direction as BMTH. Heavy but more melodic than their older music. Great band
