I feel like this band makes a solid mix of the Mars Volta with Dance Gavin Dance. Kurt Travis (in my personal opinion) always fit DGD better than Johnny Craig, though I'll admit Johnny Craig is probably a more talented vocalist. Not that either of them aren't amazing by any means.
quit hating on either band. They are both amazing. and Dance Gavin Dance wouldnt have the Sound it had without kurt and probably ALLB Wouldnt have the sound they have if Kurt wouldnt of been in DGD.
i love the transition between the last album and this one. I think Kurt was what they were looking for to really finish off their amazing and unique sound.
@AdmXoklY haha, no. if you listen to dgd in-depth there is a lot more to them than you would think, ALLB are good but they jacked DGDs style, and that's not such a bad thing cos they can pull it off but Dance Gavin Dance is where it's at, Will Swan is a nut case, Mess.. speaks for itself and Matt's drumming is insane
If you like this song. You will love my band. Our lyric video for our song is on my channel. Or you could look up The Origin Animate: A Blueprint Reflective.
'Now you hang out around with the coolest cats i've met. You sold away whats left within and left me with the mess that i've been in' I know Kurt and Jonny are friends but that line seems to have a hidden message to him.
@Mariooo57 ummm. scarlett o'hara(old), woe is me, the color morale, the devil wears prada, attack attack, old emarosa, emery, of mice and men, sned the messenger, etc. really only those two you know? >.>
ALLB said they were going to try to change to a more cohesive sound built off of a solid lineup instead of the sort of "supergroup" that contributed on Plan B, so expecting that I think this is totally amazing. It incorporates some of the crazy musicianship and genre-bending of Plan B into a somewhat more controlled post-hardcore format.
i love this but I'm kinda... no really sad that the old a lot like birds is gone they where incredible sure this sounds amazing but the old ALB had so much emotion in every word and had massive builds and beautiful mellows and i feel like this lacks it :/
@thecalmvoiceofreason It's not really ripping off any one song, just the overall sound. The harmonies in the vocals and the vocal melodies themselves, along with the harmonized guitar riffs. It's very similar if you listen to the two. Plan B was at least more original. Their still a sweet band, this is just kind of disappointing.
@catfishy08 hm, ya know, this is only the second song i listen from this new album, but damn, you're right this does sound like an altered version of closure in moscow.
@Halodude414 towards the end of his time in DGD he was losing his voice, but since he joined ALLB he's been pretty amazing. check out their live local shows and their set at Rockin Roots. their channel is ShesADeadMan
@ryaxer Ummm yah, as I said in that very obviously stated comment, they have a person who once sang in DGD and also had the person who recorded/mixed every DGD cd.
Those are similarities that deal with human beings alone.
Kurt isnt going to go through some kind of vocal surgery in order to not sound like himself.
They have a screamer, guitars, bass, and drums.
They are two bands who sound nothing a like but contain similarities.
If that didnt make sense, then Im afraid there is no hope for you.
@forrestgoesrawr i was just pointing out its funny that you say they sound nothing alike yet there are similarities, if they sounded nothing alike there would be no similarities y'know?
@onermedboxer Dude, I got the same vibe when I heard Kurt's voice on this, and the guitar part.
What's really cool, is this and the other single, and I know Tantrum is gonna be on this album, their album's sound is gonna be so good, cus none of the songs will sound the same, so it won't get boring!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Seriously? this band could have meant something. fucking sellout bitches. each self-indulgent masturbatory tirade is worse than the next they are such fags. LISTEN TO VENOM YOU STUPID SCENE KIDS!
@idrinkredwine Sellouts? Seriously? You're going to throw that out there? Go fuck yourself. Bands change get your shit in order. Seriously how the FUCK are they "sellout bitches"?
I definitely miss the instrumental content from Plan B and will of course admit they are over doing the screaming but this is still fucking phenomenal.
Not as good as their other stuff, but still pretty good. I'm looking forward to hearing the recorded version of What You Didn't Kill Just Got Stronger
Am I the only one that thinks this is "meh." It's Dance Gavin Dance 4.0... This music reminds me SO MUCH of DGD's Death Star album. It sounds like it came from that album... Those screams sound JUST LIKE Jon Mess. Give me ALLB before Kurt back. Give me DGD with Kurt back.
@NDiLoreto2007 yeah it still has an air of freshness and new content is new content, i dont think dance gavin dance or gonna release a new record any time soon or further evolve and DBM2 was a step backwards lets face it
