  • would.

  • brutal vintage sounds.

  • I dunno why people despise this record so much... I mean, personally, it is my favourite album ever. I bought it first because I heard this song and it blew my mind, but I was not prepared for this juggernaut of an album. Perfect.

  • Comment removed

  • This is just pure rock n roll you fucks. Imagine Jesus splayed out on a cross that has been laying on the ground...Imagine him lying on his stomach, slightly twisting his head to look longingly in your eyes, giving you that come to smile...Then watch yourself pick up a boulder, your watching yourself as If your not the one doing it, Not the one smashing his head in with pure unadulterated glee. Give me sunshine, make me happy.

  • this song, Nagaina, and Breathing's For The Birds were awesome. the rest of the album was pretty boring.

  • they were called sell-outs for this record? this is FAR better than that breakdown/growl/breakdown scenekid shit they put out in their early days

  • @forerunner06 I would agree, I like their early stuff and grew up with songs like Slice Paper Wrists and Nerdy etc but this stuff is just technically and musically diverse and much more akin to the grindcore greats of Brutal Truth, Nasum, and Rotten Sound in some ways.

  • God I hope they reunite soon and tour with Dillinger and/or Glassjaw. I'd be able to die happy.

  • I never knew that the little stop motion things were saying...hence the internet lol fucking love this band, I hope they come back

  • how is this selling out? this is way better than anything they did before this

  • one of my fav bands.

  • the bass is in tha house of your mother

  • As the moon, this to shall come full circle

    

  • Love these mother fuckers!!!!

  • its emocore?

  • @polcsek10 Emocore? You're just making shit up haha.

  • wheres the bass?

  • que cagadasa

  • the band that got me into hardcore. Their CD "tear from the red" changed my life

  • i like this band because they are so nostalgic for me :)

  • Damn this song is just soo fucked up !! so intense !!

  • perfection.

  • shit man. if you REALLY want to see selling out, go take a look at avenged sevenfold. a band who went from shitty metalcore band to shitty hair metal band in the span of 3 records.

  • i don't really get why people prefer old poison the well to new poison the well. their new records are far more intense than their older shit. i mean, they ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE A HARDCORE BAND now. their old records sound absolutely boring in comparison to this, "you come before you" or "the tropic rot".

    i mean, really. i fail to see how something like this can be considered selling out when it's emo crunk garbage that's what's selling records now.

  • PTW is a little "higher" than most people can grasp...a little more musicially talented that people can handle.

  • This album is seriously one of the best metal albums out there, had such a unique vibe to it. They really pushed some boundaries on this one, I think they deserve to be getting all the praise the likes of Mastodon have been getting.

    Not to mention the video is just wow.

  • these guys are so unique! how can no one appreciate good music like this?!

  • :)

  • Can't get enough of this song, great video. Amazing band.

  • in high school i was into avenged sevenfold and as i lay dying and other similar crap and im listening to this and remember not liking it before but now, holy shit this is exactly the shit ive been looking for, same with deftones phew love deftones

  • In case anyone was wondering what the words say in this video they are as follows.

    -As the moon, this too shall come full circle.

    -The hour grows near

    -The weak flesh shall be tempered by fire

    -Fake what is yours

    -With this ring, I thee wed.

  • An assigntent teacher told me about this band

  • Pirate Steve on lead guitar. That's how unfuckwitable this video is.

  • the album VERSIONS changed my life. plus it is a heavy, raw, brutal and very melodic album. what about Nagaina? or Riverside? Slow Good Morning?

    and they were kickass live!

    and who cares what haters say. noone is making them listen to PTW so they can piss off

  • Comment removed

  • Awww they're playing with dolls how cute... NOT!

  • I'm having THEE most epic eargasm right now.

  • I uh, honestly dont see how this is selling out. I'll be honest, when I first heard this album, I thought it was garbage. Now I realize I was just being a fucking dumbass. This song fucking rocks. Very unique approach and style, and it fucking works.

  • @Dehnyen Well, their first 3 albums, (although their first one sounded ESPECIALLY appealing to the scene kids) were pretty low-key. After their 3rd album, their guitarist left, so it's only natural that they had a different sound (to me it sounds a little bit Every Time I Die influenced, which is unlike the previous albums.)

  • I fucking love this song rofl, it's great <3

  • Anybody who said this band sold out sucks balls. Sell-outs give people who try and redefine a genre a bad name

  • I started listening that band when i discover A7x playlist and now i freakin love them, especially that song, i dont know why u are talking about sell outs etc. coz that song is awesome. Sorry for my bad english ;p

  • Love these guys.

  • SICK VIDEO!!

  • I think the band is missing something... Oh figured it out... A bassist o.0

  • This song is fucking weird.

    But I think I like it.

  • Obskyrig, that's because people like different music, simple as that. For some, this is just annoying noise, while to some, it may sound like a very beautiful opera

  • @Asuryon beautiful opera always tht answer all others have no depth in musical grasp

  • I love how idiots are always accusing bands of selling out. They aren't playing for you motherfuckers, they are playing for themselves and because they enjoy it. Whether you like their sound or not, whether you approve of the direction they have taken their sound, I am sure their response has and always will be-fuck yourselves.

  • nope whatever you said is wrong if it didn't involve getting married and a crazy ritual burning to rebirth? the fleshlings lol

  • i was hoping the lyrics and the runes would correlate, but they dont... if you mother fuckers had to guess what was going on in the video what would you say?

  • I dont know what this genre is, but this is my favourite genre.

  • @culas25hc Post-Hardcore and if you like these guys listen to Thrice, they fucking kick ass

  • To be honest, 'you come before you' was their masterpiece, everything else is only ok.

  • metalcore

  • I'm not really into labeling bands, but what genre of music would Poison the Well be considered. It doesn't sound like screamo to me, but not punk either. I like it whatever it is.

  • Post-metal, maybe? Kinda close to screamo in a sense, just with more experimental tendencies.

  • Post-screamo-hardcore-punk....­ish

  • @Venziir  Haahaa, thanks for the genre clarification.

  • awesome vid

  • @omuluomu if u dont like then dont listen to it. simple as that...

  • what happened to the other two members?

  • Just 2 hours left until they enter the stage in duesseldorf. Really looking forward!

  • i remember how much shit they got for this record. people called them sell outs, but they have never once made the same record and that makes them innovators to me.

  • @trevor653 True fans of PTW would never call them sellouts, they were never sellouts, they constantly pushed the boundries.

  • poison the well rock :30 good screams

  • wow ppl talk shit about other bands on videos that has nothing to do with them 0_0 eyes set to kill is good and so is poison the well

  • the new comment sysem sucks sorry i just needed to say that.

  • Comment removed

  • I may be ... mindwashed or something .. But I seriously can't understand why people cannot appreciate this .. For me this is pure pure art, I mean the lyrics are astonishing, The instruments are wicked and the whole idea of both video and song structure simply continue to amaze me :D :D :D

    POISON THE FUCKING WELL !!!! <3 \M/

  • consider yourself lucky

  • @Obskyrig I just do not like it because the album in general feels rushed, is sloppy technically, vocally, and lyrically. Really just feels like they put out an album simply to put out an album. Granted, it has it's high points (this song) but overall it was just sloppily played, produced, and thought out. The Tropic Rot sounds a lot more like what Versions should have sounded like if they put their time and their heart into it.

  • @Ncivili1341 u dont know wat ur talking about versions was pretty great. i appreciate more songs off versions than tropic rot,although i enjoy em both.

  • @Obskyrig I totally agree with you. This track is ASTONISHING. One of my favourite pieces of music ever.

  • @Obskyrig its very dark thats why its great

  • FUCK FUCK FUCK

    THE HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Go listen to attack attack or eyes set to kill...Fucken lame bitches

  • Eyes set to kill, that band is a joke Poison the well is bad ass

  • Just saw them last week :DD the always fucking rule live

  • this video is sick, and versions is one of my favorite albums.

  • Fuck what haters are saying - These guys are awesome, end of. If you don't like it why are you watching it?

  • Damn right, bro. Poison The Well are SO good. That's why I'm going to see them again, for the third time, next Saturday, at the Culture Room, in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm really anxious to find out who they're bringing with them, 'cause nobody else is on the lineup, as of now. I can't wait!!! Round three...............

  • To begin with,if they don't like it,why are they spending more time on this page by leaving some dumb ass comment.

  • I don't think there is a single video clip where someone hasn't started up an argument.

  • Yea man, I was lucky enough to meet someone who said "listen to this" and it changed my life. Poison the Well will always be my favorite band and I think the new album is their best yet.

  • I just don't get why they changed their style and sound so fast paced all the time. They used to do break downs and u used to be able to hear every single drum hit. It sounds like they got a new drummer... i don't get it

  • Poison the Well has had the same drummer (Chris Hornbrook) since day one! He is still on the new album as well!

    As for everyone else bashing this band, I mean REALLY listen to the music of this band. It is sooooo intriquite and unique. They successfully combine surf rock guitars with punk/hardcore beats and southern tinged solos all the while Jeff still keeping his copyright vocal style!

  • man this band started screamo wether u like or not is irrelevant and their new stuff is different it dosent sound like emo to me you should check out armor for sleep that is my freinds is emo not this cannibal courpse man now thats an original they didnt create that sound and im sure you get laid plenty blaring out of your moms stock stereo in her car driving around the mall

  • whers the bassist?

  • god why can no one spell CANNIBAL??? hahaha.. and how did a discussion about CC and Disturbed pop up on a PTW video =/. 3 totally different tyles of music.. everyone just shut the fuck up and stick to your genre.

  • Wow, I came here after seeing there was a show in kc with 10 band for 10 dollars, and decided to see if it'd be worth it, but after seeing this I now realize that even if it were free it wouldn't be worth it. This...well I was gonna say band, but this isn't the case. This group of emos wailing indistinguishable gibberish in the microphone, with other playing what I assume to be what they call music just ruined my day.

  • when i was there hot topic played disturbed it was awesome

  • Disturbed is disturbingly bad

  • yeah Disturbed is so horrible. So horrible think of a CD in a toilet full of shit and pull it out and you get the 10000 fists CD.

  • Just love them <3

    wish I could've seen them :(

    they must come back to the netherlands!! (or belgium/germany if its not to far away :P)

  • i wish somebody did poison their well!

  • yo copter, go listen to there other shit before you talk faggot

  • yeah,yeah,yeah. thats what i am. i did hear their other shit.long time ago probably before you discovered hot topic was the ultimate punk store.how old r u 14?if your gonna insult.try a lil harder.maybe that will redeem poison the well. they still stink. good try though you get points for trying.tell them to send you a cd or something for your loyalty!

  • hot topic isnt the ultimate punk store, all they sell there is scene crap

  • ha ha yeah i know. you know i was being sarcastic? and they play crappy music in their stores too.

  • oh haha i guess i didnt catch onto that

  • yea one day i was in hot topic and they r playing soft crap instead of hardcore stuff such as avenged sevenfold poison the well and atreyu

  • nope deffinitly not fourteen. oh how cool of you! youve known all of that shit befooreee me! oh your soooo dreamy! i wasnt trying the ultimate insult if you think i was. i was simply telling you what you, my friend, truely are. what do you like. JONAS BROTHERS!? or maybe your into the crappiest metal CANNIBLE CORPSE, whatever it is, if you disrespect PTW, your disrespecting originality and talented individuals so fuck off bro.

  • so you noticed how cool and dreamy i am! i get that a lot .jonas brothers!!!! ha ha! if you only knew me! ha ha.i do have to agree with you that jonas bro and cannible corpses are pretty crappy! oh and f u consider ptw "original". you seriously are vainly using the term.black flag,the hellacopters,didjits,bad brains,the damned,the misfits,those are seminal bands.f u dont know what that term means it means "original". gotta go the now there showing"the jonas bro "on the disney channel

  • Sure those bands broke ground but that's what PTW is doing.

    A shitload of their fans hate everything after The Opposite of December cause it's not "hardcore" enough.

    I love PTW's evolution and I can't wait for Tropic Rot to come out.

    Versions blew me away.

  • The Tropic Rot is a beautiful album.

  • question: by any chance your not a member of ptw groupie?cuz the way you defend them seems like you might have been.

  • nope. im not, but i think they deserve more credit then you give them, or rather a lot of people give them

  • I gotta agree with copter. They sound like the all the 50,000,000 emo bands that have popped up in my city alone, only to die out a few weeks later.

  • You've got to be kidding me. Poison The Well is NOT like "all the 50,000 emo bands." ...and they've definitely not died out! That is obvious, with their latest release of a new cd. Go see them in concert and youy might change your mind, unless you just don't like what you've labeled "emo", wich it looks like you don't. Ignorance doesn't mean stipid, it means you don't know. You, my friend are ignorant of the words you speak. Enlighten yourself and do us all some good. Please.

  • You don't need to tell me what ignorant means. I never said that they died out, but they do sound exactly like them.

  • Whatever, bro. I'm still going to go see them again on the 22nd at Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale. I'll try to remember to head-walk once for you. Ok?

  • Saying they are original is retarded. They are part of an age old scene (hardcore punk started in the late 70's early 80's). people have been in coherrantly shouting into mics and beating down their instruments long before PTW cam out.

  • yeah but they are of few to play that style today so in terms of today the are deffinitly original. so few play this style anymore.

  • Ptw is ok, but i'm telling you Cannable Corpse would eat their faces hands down. No pun intended

  • cannable corpse's screamer is shit and someone needs to eat his face ;P

  • wow, Your about as original with your come backs as this band is with their music.

  • Is it just me, or does this clip not match the intensity of the song?

    Versions is one of the best albums I've heard in the last couple of years, can't wait to hear the new album.

  • Love this band... so underrated.

  • seeing these guys tomorrow night supporting crazyfists. are they any good?

  • They are sick live dude... U will see :)

  • no bass guitarist? just 3? they sound great though

  • Poison The Well is the best band ever!!!

  • versions is amazing all the songs have a special thing to them i love slow good morning excpecially

  • Versions is a great work of art, gets better all the time like a fine wine! PTW are truly a great band who don't get stuck in a rut like a lot of other bands.

  • Nice Smilie ;)

  • anyone got tabs for this????

  • i haven't found shit on this song...

  • Lol @ ignorance!

  • haha im a die hard ptw fan and i say anything is better than opposite of december

  • understand this, I used to deliver pizzas high on everything listening to PTWs old shit and I must say... Its ficking not bad geys.

  • You are probably one of those little bitches that just got into them but was listening to sum41 a few years ago. techno will probably be in next year; why dont you go get a head start on that?

  • You are probably one of those little bitches that just got into them but was listening to sum41 a few years ago. techno will probably be in next year; why dont you go get a head start on that?

  • ahahahah! awesome comment. Tottaly agree

  • dude i totally agree with you.

  • PTW continue to push the limits on what true hardcore, metalcore, metallica hardcore(personally who give a fuck???), and just because a band decides to experiment doesn't mean they've decided to leave their old fans behind. I knew Jeffrey growing up in SoFlo and he's one of the most creative people I have ever met... and I don't hear country overtones.... and just because they sing doesn't mean they've one soft.... in fact, I think Versions fucking owns TOOD and TFTR

  • cant say it is better than opposite of december. but you can say it is better than tear from teh red.

  • if anything, they are ahead of their time with this music

  • i completely agree with the proponents of the new record. this is a different approach to heavy music- well, since i last checked six years ago. the riffs and textures in this song are evocative and slide solo adds a new dimension of musical tension. while this music hasn't much of a place in my life anymore i have to laud their efforts for going out on a limb and making a effort to expand a derivitive genre that sadly appeals to demographic comprised of a mass amount of closed minds.

  • This song and video are both really good. Honestly if you think old poison the well was better then w/e listen to that. They have gotten a lot more artsy and creative. I never really liked them this much before.

  • w00t i just saw em live in ft lauderdale they ruled :]]]]] 1 of the best concerts ever..

  • Poison the Well= The New John Wayne..thank goodness for freedom of creativity

  • PTW gives me sunshine and makes me happy.

  • 1:12-1:16 "Well now that's a fucking, fucking, fucking friend" i love that line!!

    ptw is amazing live!!

  • ieatstuffoffthefloor is speeking the thruth

    I love there old stuff but if people knew that there always comming up with new stuff allot of people did not like you come before you but that became a classic i love this band period.

  • This is shit ass music. All the albums before this were amazing. I have been a huge fan for years. But, this album simply sucks ass.

  • Ya know, I don't think it's shit. but I agree that their older stuff is better. Not just the Opposite of December. but You Come Before You was a lot better than this.

  • zzz

  • Anyone who doesn't dig their new album must just be stuck in the haze of generic breakdown hardcore. That shit's old news. Opposite of December was from fucking '99/'00, TFTR was from '02. Fuck's sake, Acacia Strain released their first in '02 as well. Then YCBY came out in '03 and they were starting to break out of the same-old and experiment with new sounds. Wait four years and we have Versions - another great album. Not by any means a masterpiece, but definately great, coherent album.

  • i agree 100% with you musical maturity isnt always a bad thing!

  • i love this band been 2 a few concerts i live in nj and now im just disgusted at wat i watched this isnt ptw this is pure fail

  • geez... what happened to all the old members???

  • Fucking fantastic video and track. These guys are pioneers and they're still just as relevant as ever in my mind. "Versions" wasn't an instant hit to me but over time I've come to dig it. "Lazzaro" from T.F.T.R. is still my favorite Well track ever, though.

  • I think this is just as good as the old stuff. Every band changes through the years. the ones that last do.

  • wow...how disapointing

  • they use to be so much better

  • trying to decide which i love more...these guys or parkway drive

  • parkway drive

  • Give me sunshine. Make me Happy. - Those wrods nmever resonated more in life than right now for me..I Love PTW with all my heart.

  • the return of 90s metalcore <3

  • PTW is more metal than emo. Fuck emo.

  • suck

  • emo kids can suck my dick.

  • i love this song is cool like me yes i am super emo

  • he screams like a bitch

  • your a bitch

  • you would know from personal experience huh you bitch.

    and how do you know that bitches aren't cool?

    i like banging bitches.

  • i think the singer is alsome

  • what the fuck are you talking about? he IS poison the well. they only had another singer for the very first EP. Jeff has been in the band on EVERY album but the first. your all fucking retarded.

  • people like this?

  • I like the music, but not the singer.

  • i do

    but i think he needs a hair transplant

    bald fucker :]

  • i cam a lil just so u all know :P thats how hot poison the well is

  • Where's the bassist????

  • he left!
