Common Dreads is my favorite album so far. They seem to evolve so much with each release. This and Zzzonked and The Jester being far more advanced imo than Take to The Skies (great album still). Can't wait for A Flash Flood of Colour. Arguing With Thermometers got me excited.
@sinisterin89 It is good, but I think the lyrics to We Can Breathe in Space are probably one of the most intellectual and deep lyrics I have ever heard
I remember working the night that this was first played on the radio, I took my break, at the right time and rushed to my car. The rest of my shift felt effortless after listening lol.
Actually it means "hand throw" the band picked it because of the story in the song, about a Giant who kills people by cutting their hands off and throwing it in the river he guards. The song is about a guy killing the giant by doing this. They learnt the story from a taxi driver.
@ChiiShredder well, listen to the lyrics carefully to start with, and they also explain it on the video where they go through common dreads track by track
i can't understand a word your saying. if your trying to say blink182 are the only decent rock group you are so wrong. there shit and most other stuff is good. this is real music
and its about this mythical roman soldier called Silvius Brabo ho asked money from people who wanted to pass by the river Scheldt. When they didn't want to pay, he cut off their hand and threw it in the river. Because of this Brabo also removed the hand of the giant, and threw it away.
"Now I was feeling like a total giant! But now it feels like Silvius Brabo has sliced my hand off and thrown it in the river!"
the new album is waaaaay too preachy and pollitical i think if es were more subtle with there views the album would be way better cus if you dont share there political views then the album pretty much alienates you as a fan cus you dont agree with whats being preached
dont get me wrong i love es to the core of my soul and reach for the skies will how i will prefer to best remember there music
if common dreads were there first album they would of died a very early death
i agree. i think they tried to be too... artistic or something with common dreads. i wish they would have just stick with making beautiful music. Take To the Skies is like one of my 3 favorite albums ever...
take to the skies is no where near as good as this. it was just hardcore with synthlines played over the top. they have found their own sound, and its so full of energy and orginal but still mature
sorry but i hardly find this mature. rou has now opted for an almost frank turner voice- a bit hit and miss really. in their first album their technoish breakdowns were impressive, now its tedious and predictable. i think i dont like it because i was 16 when i heard enter shikari and loved them. now 19 and simply find it immature and just noise. 2:11 for example- just awful.
i really liked their first album. i feel their musical versitality has saturated and they are now badly trying to take on other genres. its almost a parody. they feel that if they simply shout over a heavy bass and snare it is a crossover genre. it isnt. pathetic.
this is far better than their first album, i hated take to the skies but this has alot more substance to it and is better made music. as for the lyrics, they are so much better in common dreads
this song is the best of the new record closley followed by solidarity and juggernauts.. new album is so fucking amazing, just as good as take it to the skies :P
hahaha i love this SOOOO much the song is great and the title even greater i live in a city called ANTWERP (belgium) but in dutch we spell it like ANTWERPEN =D fucking AWSOME ! =D!
This song is awesome, and I like it. But does anyone else feel like it's a lot different from the rest of their stuff on their COMMON DREADS (Not 'Take to the Skies'). Might just be me. I dunno.
I wasnt here to start a sad little youtube war, i just wanted to express how i felt. you might think this is cool, and thats great, since everyones an individual, all i was saying is that it isnt my cup of tea. And as for shortening my words and being lazy, fuck you. ever heard of a 500 character limit?
if you like, count how many characters are in their.....
Gutted.what ever happned to 'take to the skies'? this is almost like 'the streets' with more guitar and musical ability.
It sms to me that they are trying to make their music more accesibleto listeners. but have they 4gt about their real fans.
they need to stop trying smthn new, and go back to their winning formula. This is really the best song on the album, compare this to ANY of the songs on 'take to the skies' and it fails epicly.
Says something when you see chavs listening to Juggernaut.
I don't see how you could be disapointed all the new stuff is pretty amazing In my humble opinion but ohwell you have your opinion I have mine :) At least you still have the old ES?

and its about this mythical roman soldier called Silvius Brabo ho asked money from people who wanted to pass by the river Scheldt. When they didn't want to pay, he cut off their hand and threw it in the river. Because of this Brabo also removed the hand of the giant, and threw it away.
