  • @LO7EK stfu. if you dont like it, dont watch the video and talk shit ya dumb fuck..

  • Comment removed

  • the drums sound terrible on here

  • @L07EK You sound terrible on here -_- smh

  • @tfotcake2012 oh..

  • Hey everyone, wanna know WHY they don't sound the same or seem like there's just something missing? :D

    Well, its like the old 'you can't compare apples to oranges' thing.

    THEY ARE A DIFFERENT BAND!

    Get two people, one who likes country and one who likes rap. See how well they can compare and contrast their music choices? Not very well right?

    Just cuz Thomas is still there, doesn't mean that its gonna be the same.

    How many people have to say that before people finally shut up about it?

  • Why is everyone bashing this and comparing it to TFOT? They're sweet and have a different style, and even if the energy isn't there it s still sweet and melodic.

  • I understand what you guys mean about the energy, but it's pretty good. There's definitely a lot of Fall of Troy present within here. And remember that this is a demo, I think.

  • i understand that nothing can top the origional FOT, but anyone who says this doesnt sound good is fucking nuts

  • To me, JLV is good, but it's nothing special.

    I can describe FoT as a portrait depicting frantic scribbles and spastic lines organized into a masterpiece. Beauty in utter chaos.

    JLV can be described as a man who has painted a replica of that portrait, but without the risk taking and the emotion.

    That's just the way I feel. The word used a lot is "energy", which is a good way to describe it. I support anything with Erak's name on it, but JLV simply has no energy. It's not as fun. :/

  • This just isnt the same anymore, i miss fall of troy, there is no real energy here

  • Havent listened to TFOT in like 2 years

    Then i found about what happened..

    :(

  • Same man haha, My and my bestfriends brother had fcpremix on repeat til 7am while playing Halo 3 years ago, fucking sucks bro :(

  • @AnarchyGuy6 i hear you man

    their shit was killer.

  • Comment removed

  • This band sucks. Bring back the fall of troy!

  • The production as you can tell is part of the problem. It's very muffled... it's hard to enjoy the drums too.

  • Thomas has the midas touch! ''that's a fact''

  • This is awesome!!

  • I love the fall of troy, I also love this band.

    I just wish they'd get more known so I could see em live D:

  • @kyriss7 Just like vinyl is touring! google their band page, chances are a date will be around you.

  • Well tfot couldve just developed themselves. I mean the vibe is here mainly because of thomas but still, its not the fall of troy...

  • you know people mature and change.. Thomas was like 17 when TFOT was first made, and I like their later songs too, nice to have a change from pure chaos :P

  • this is ok....but i cant accept the fact that the fall of troy broke up and thomas is in this band now

  • The fall of Troy will never come back and if they did they would just disappoint those fans who keep asking for the old stuff caus Thomas will keep progressing and changing, That's why he left the fall of Troy and went with just like vinyl so I doesn't have to keep hearing people ask for the old stuff. Just more new stuff in his new band

  • A new album is coming soon dudes!

  • THIS SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE THE MARS VOLTA I LOVE IT!

  • FALL OF TROY I LOVE. THIS? EHH! NOT SO MUCH.

  • So many eargasms

  • this is cool or whatever. BUT I WANT TFOT BACK

  • @fireintheeffingsky the last album that tfot made wasn't very good. This sounds more similar to their old stuff, i like it.

  • its pretty good but it doesn't have the same energy as fall of troy :(

  • I love this. Fuck all of my snobbish friends who think differently.

  • imabamftoo:)

  • @abcmanTR3V0R no you're abcman. dammit trevor.

  • @imabamf D: well then!! iwannabeabamftoo.... there

  • @abcmanTR3V0R hahah

  • I think this is good just didn't like the drummer bass and guitar were good and of course toms amazing

  • @jesusiscool7777

    What is wrong with the drummer? He plays the right thing at the right time? The drum RECORDING is bad because it is a demo and drums are hard to record. That may be why you don't like the drum sound.. How is that the drummer's fault? Think before you say something hurtful. 

  • @Piratejackyar I didnt say anything hurt ful? i just said i didnt like the drummer he's not very creative iunno the drums just werent that good sorry nothing to do with the recording

  • @jesusiscool7777 It's a new band not TFOT. Different members other than Thomas. He might've just wanted to try something new out. :P

  • Dislike button is just like JB dick

  • i thought the fall of troy was the end of thomas, so glad i found this

  • love both this and the fall of troy.... always happy to follow thomas around where ever his music puts him, just like craig owens XD

  • I still miss The Fall Of Troy.

  • i like the sound, but the energy is not there. the thing about the old TFOT is that it wasnt necessarily more well written, it just conveyed so much RAW MOTHERFUCKING ENERGY! the later tfot and this just dont really do it like erak used to.

  • Comment removed

  • @951258tike22 sometimes energy is nice to create good powerful songs. Other times you dont need energy and just want to make something nice to listen to. one is not better then the other they are just different

  • Everybody shut the fuck up. It's a different band. End of story.

  • @StarvinMarvin1990 foreal!

    everyone is a critique....

  • I went to go look up the lyrics for this song while listening to it.

    Fucking pop-ad started to play a video.

    I'm buying a new laptop on friday

  • @EryxMahk Don't you wish that piss tasted like lemonade?

  • I think it's hilarious that everybody is bashing the drummer but to my knowledge its thomas him self doing the drums for the demo tracking........

  • @shtassfu thats not thomas playing the drums. its jay beaman. thomas played drums for 'no friend of mine' and 'its over' on the album

  • @imabamf Jay Beaman? Huh, wasn't he the drummer for Red Museum for a bit...

  • Well in my book jlv is just as good as tfot, maybe even better because jlv shows that this guy is devoted to music.

  • Thomas needs to leave this band,

    either that or just get some more skilled members in it.

    This < TFOT, but I still like it.

  • The bottom of the "J" is cut off on the video so it looks like it says "lust Like Vinyl".

  • The drummer is horrible. I get the whole high school friend thing, but you need a talented drummer with pure SKILL that is the TALENT of Thomas Erak. Seriously. wtf

  • @anewbredkilr there really isn't such a thing as a terrible drummer, and for you to say so is ignorant. he's no andrew forsman, but hes good, and does the band justice. why dont you shut up and just enjoy the music?

  • @marcburnsred It's kind of hard when the drummer sucks, and FOT is only a click away. It's kind of pointless saying those kinds of things, when everyone knows that PEOPLE WILL BITCH. Get the fuck over it already.

  • Am I the only person who thinks that Thomas is peaking under his potential with this new band?? He could be doing anything he wants to.....I mean I think he's the best guitarist alive right now, Idk....I just don't understand it

  • I don't know about THE BEST! ..but he is definitely this guitarist with an original, talented style. This is my first encounter with Just like Vinyl and I was expecting a different style from The Fall of Troy. Maybe he had some songwriting issues with TFOT and wanted to do, strictly his own thing.. This sound is too similiar with TFOT. So the only logical reason for a name change is for new members.

  • @doublej706 dude you cant say anything til you hear the whole new album, it is different, its not TFOT. its just like vynil

  • yes, it's not TFOT.. that's what I was saying if it's different members. Does the rest of the album have a "TFOT" sound like this song? How would you describe the album compared to TFOT?

  • @doublej706 I mean it's definitely not songwriting issues because he writes every aspect of the song,..But idk what to say about his new band members........I'm going to continue with the assumption that he knows his bandmates better than I do lol

  • ...so why did Fall of Troy break up again? I'm sure Frank and Andrew would do this too...

  • Really reminds me off the last fall oftroy album

  • sounds like thomas just fired all TFOT band members and changed the band name... cause this just sounds the same, don't get me wrong though this is an epic band ... only problem is we will no longer get to see any old fall of troy songs live :\

  • i dunno what you guys think but that breakdown at around 2:00 is sick mcnasty

  • Man, after listening to this album a few more times, I've actually gained a weird taste for it... I guess the end of FoT wasn't the end of Erak. I feel stupid for even thinking that.

  • Have fun :)

  • What the fuck is vinyl

  • @rabitonsteroids idiot its a record DUMB MOTHER FUCKER WHO ASKS THAT QUESTION YOU SHOULD BE MURDERED U FUCK U FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!111 :) see now i am not angry anymore, i have released my self. Now to go beat my wife <3

  • @rabitonsteroids you know those big old black records. those are called/made out of vinyl. fuck your comment made me feel old lol

  • It's nice to hear Erak's vocals being put to use once again :D

  • thom, you've failed me

  • This is like when The Blood Brothers split

    to make a band that sounds just as amazing

    Thomas Erak is a wizard

  • JLV isn't a success IMO. This and Kite are the only good songs. The rest is pretty much crap. Ima go listen to some thirty years war now.

  • wooo rock that pentatonic scale

  • Might as well be called "just like the fall of troy" haha

  • @POTHPuokie The only SLIGHT exception is Animals As Leaders. Tosin Abasi was pretty much the only one writing the music, so the first album was him with some stuff added and programmed drums. Now though, I give the entire band credit, because there actually is an entire band now hahah. You're right though, when there's a band, they all deserve credit because without one element of the band, the whole thing wouldn't even work out.

  • going to see them on friday night.

  • never heard of these guys, and i'm seeing them on the 22nd. I'm kind of excited for them now.

  • @POTHPuokie replace the , with a .

  • @POTHPuokie youtube,com/watch?v=UFWm6oBXRR­M

    ^^ skip to 2:29 ^^

  • @POTHPuokie search The Fall Of Troy Freestylin' on youtube and near the end of the video he says

    This is The Fall Of Troy's last tour and I haven't told anyone else in the band yet, I feel no obligation to, seeing as how I write all the songs(I didnt put it in quotes because those werent his EXACT words but almost exact)

    but yea Thomas writes "the whole fucking song"

  • It's like TFOT in disguise.

  • They broke up cause Thomas was sick of Equal Visions and wanted to make his music without any record labels taking shit on him.

  • They need to be in Warped Tour because they have no shows in florida :((((

  • @POTHPuokie You got it man! Its not just him up there playing his guitar and singing, it took the other members to put out the sound call the Fall of Troy... realize that, and you need band members for musical inspiration.

  • Hey deathwish, its kids like you that made him hate touring. Yes he's great, definitely my biggest inspiration, but he couldn't even watch the other bands without a bunch of kids swarming him and telling him he's amazing and other crap

  • this literally made my day,

  • I'm really starting to love these songs as much as i loved the fall of troy's songs. Since it's new i'm actually really enjoying them a lot more.

  • I miss FOT old bassist.... when he left I let the new one have a chance but it wasn't the same.... Now another guy gives a chance and .... I just dont feel it man

  • I like it but...I don't see why FoT would break up...this doesn't sound TOO different from what they did.

  • I didn't even know Thomas had a new album out....i so wanna buy this shit!

  • music/guitar sounds alot like pre "in the unlikely event" more like manipulator, which is sweet. also tom's vocals really come through on this.

    in conclusion, just like vinyl is fucking sweet, and i can't wait wait to hear more.

  • wow i gotta say, as being an intense fot fan, it was hard for me to even swallow this album. so i gave this shit a rest for the past couple of months. i just came back to it, damn dude i love this so much now haha

  • @deathwish959 same thing happened to me.

  • @imabamf  lol its kinda weird how that shit happens

  • @deathwish959 right?

  • @deathwish959 How could you not like it? Its basically FOT, and it sounds like thyre older stuff. Fucking rocks

  • @Phuckyooo well idk if you have heard the entire album, but it's quite a different sound from the fall of troy. it sounds like thomas eraks old stuff in tribune. its got that same basic guitar sound but its more rock n roll oriented. the fall of troys early stuff was very experimental, using odd time sigs and keys. this album resembles in the unlikely event if you want to compare the two bands.

  • @deathwish959 I have heard it, it sounds more like Manipulator to me, maybe a little less experimental. But I think thats a good thing, i can listen to it on any occasion and it still has a lot of the soothing guitar riffs that Thom somehow pulls off time after time

  • @Phuckyooo true thomas is pretty much god lol but idk this really is an opinion thing, and i like this now. it just took me a while to appreciate it. but we can all agree, THOMAS IS FUCKING AMAZING. lolz

  • @deathwish959 that happened to me with in the unlikely event!! so good! and happend whith like 2 other bands!!

  • @tyler713247

    inorite this happened to me with manipulator and In the unlikely event, hated them at first. They should call it the "Thomas Erak Effect"

  • @deathwish959 i like this shit right off the bat

  • Erik might as well just call this TFOT, WOOT!

  • lol 2:09-2:38 kinda reminds me of the end part of Macaulay McCulkin :S

  • Please, this is nothing like TFOT, writing style is completely different, thomas is OBVIOUSLY more concerned technically with the guit then ever before, his lines are completely unique to the ideology the was the fall of troy, an awesome band, but no longer. His voice is improving, his guitar skill as well. He is moving the same direction The Mars Volta has. I don't enjoy them or Erak as much with this techniscity coming from them but i am hopeful they can harness it into sublime creation infuta

  • THE FALL OF TROY WAS BETTER

  • Sick tour with

    THE Memorials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ;D

  • I like it but, it sound way too similar to trot.

    I mean it does sound SLIGHTLY different (some Guy said along the lines of groove) but it still has the guitar wankery, screams, time shifts, etc. its still very good stuff though.

  • Frank from The Fall of Troy cut off his dreads and makes really chill music now in Chineke... I'm sad.

  • When I hear The Fall of Troy I think of like people twiching

    When I hear Just Like Vinyl I think of like a guy doing the worm standing up

  • @JustinCaparas You are awesome. lol

  • wow. so since he left frank and andrew...who's in this band? and what's gonna happen to tfot? :(

  • @GreenMonsterTV The Fall of Troy is no more :/, Franks in a band called Chineke, and I THINK andrew is back with The 30 Years War.

  • Comment removed

  • awesome band, but if you think this is TFoT with a different name you re just an ass

  • @primozuado not to impede on Thomas' creativity, but JLV does sound extremely similar to TFoT, being experimental/mathcore/prog metal... So it's not really too much of a stretch to say that JLV basically is TFoT with a different name. Still good music though, no doubt about that.

  • Best song in the album

  • He's starting to sound more and more like Claudio from Coheed

  • its like a more classic rock oriented version of TFOT, i like it alot.

  • Just like TFOT.

    The Fall of Troy 'Lite'

  • Much Appreciation JLV, gettem dudes.

  • Wow it's just TFOT under a different name.

    Why didn't the prick just keep the same name and just change members?

  • @78GoodBloke78 Because it wouldn't be The Fall of Troy without Andrew or Frank.

  • @78GoodBloke78 This is definitely not TFOT with a different name.

    This is Just Like Vinyl, with Thomas Erak's badassity flowing through your speakers and into your cerabellum and limbic system making your brain orgasm with delight.

  • @78GoodBloke78 Cause it ain't TFOT. It's Just Like Vinyl. The music style got a little slower and more to groove with a dash of TFOT. TFOT induced violent head bangs. Just Like Vinyl is more to slower head banging and body grooving.

  • @78GoodBloke78 He respects the music that he made with Tim and Andrew as well as Frank, it would seem rather shitty to keep the band name even though you're the only original member left. Also, this isn't really similar to The Fall of Troy, of course the vocals and guitar will sound familiar but it's an entirely different band.

  • Wow it's ju

  • @sellingmypokecards that's not what it says on the cds. says music is written by cedric and omar and the rest of the people simply perform the music.

  • Long life to erak!

  • sweeeet... he said he had was writing/ working on new material!

  • THIS SONG WAS PRETTY EPIC.

  • @kevinlarga

    Definately Epic...

  • Im a big tfot fan and i guess this is okay just because it has thomas in it. I started noticing that thomas played different during in the unlikely event concerts..they just didnt play the same and thomas did some weird solos that dont have tfot sound, like in 2:53 in this song. :// RIP the fall of troy...

  • love this!

  • alright so i just saw them live, and picked up the full album and all i got to say is DAMN look out epic shit is coming

  • sorry to interrupt the arguments.... but just like vinyl is so fucking sick its ridiculous! o my gosh erak congrats on the new band and best of wishes to you and your band! just like vinyl<3

  • credit goes to Thomas Erak for the same reason that the mars volta's credit goes to omar rodriguez.

    reason:

    they both write the whole fucking song.

  • @smokeyandcraig how would you know that thomas wrote everything in this song? it's a brand new band, they just surfaced recently. which means no one knows shit!

  • @imabamf i don't know. but without speculation there really isn't much to talk about.

    judging from thomas's personality i think it's pretty safe to assume that he is going to continue writing almost the whole song for any band he is in.

  • @smokeyandcraig

    even Omar didn't write everything, he would tell each individual member to *play something like this*, but even they added their personal touches to music. Bu yes i will say he probably wrote 90% of the music, but even the small changes made by each member could change a song drastically.

  • @mikeportnoyfan true. but im sure if somebody played something that omar didn't like, he would tell them to do it over.

  • @smokeyandcraig that could of easily changed with this band, just sayin.

  • @imabamf

    the guitar style is all thomas. he has a very distinct style, except for this being a little more straight forward rock than fall of troy, it's still very much thomas erak doing most of the work, the mans a fuckin genius

  • @imabamf true.

  • @imabamf

    you are right, but just listen to it, it's satured with thoms style, it would hardly be a suprise or a bad thing if thom got complete creative control!

  • @imabamf I'm gonna have to disagree, as a seasoned FOT listener, I can tell these riffs have Tom's steez all over them.

  • @juanseybold uhm excuse me its TFOT. a seasoned? im a die hard fan. and it's tom whose playing most of the riffs anyways. what point are you getting at?

  • @smokeyandcraig as far as i know they do it the same as TFOT they all collaborate. With thom has said with TFOT they all wrote parts and just kinda jammed out till they had a song. You can defiantly tell this buy all of the random progressions in the songs, i dont know if its the same for JLV but im assuming. not raging just informing. <3

  • @smokeyandcraig absofuckinglutely

  • @smokeyandcraig Cedric?

  • @mjrupps Cedric just writes lyrics. Omar does everything, really.

  • @DavidRayT And Thomas does that too.

  • @mjrupps I thought you were asking what Cedric does. XD

  • @DavidRayT Everyone deserves credit due.

  • @POTHPuokie Too bad we can't see this band evolve anymore, but I'm glad. You have to let things go and let it end at it's peak before it careens away from it's original message. Like Chappele's show, glad he stopped when he did. THIS NEW BAND IS GARBAGE THOUGH, fucking sad to see it turn into a 4/4 steady piece of shit. I'll end with this. I literally have no favorites. No fav color, food, person, place, game or anything, But my overall fav band, is easily the progressive and original FOT. RIP

  • @POTHPuokie You guys are both idiots. I've been listening to this band for almost 7 years now and I love every cd ever created by the fall of troy. Andrew is an amazing drummer, but, Thomas did write all the songs, so it really is his band...but....without andrew, there would be no punch or good combined structure. I hated phantom at first, cause I was used to the originals, but it's a fucking master piece. The bass player being the least important in this band, is still necessary.

  • oh lord, they took everything bad about tfot and put it into a band called just like vinyl.

  • @noncontradiction3 Im pretty sure its the opposite, rapid tempo changes, cool guitar riffs, half scream half sung vocals. Thats the good stuff. Get back to listening to their last album you uneducated fuck.

  • i like the fall of troy but i don't like this new stuff...

    indeed it doesn't matter because now I have Tera Melos

  • @POTHPuokie in The Fall of Troy, Erak composed everything so give him credit for that but your absolutely correct in the fact that everyone participates and has the skill to keep up with eachother.

  • @POTHPuokie

    for what it's worth, i've heard that thomas erak actually wrote all (or if not, most) of the music to the fall of troy's early work.

    but i dunno...

    i'm not saying this is all genuine facts, i mean it could all be bullshit for all i know.

    thomas erak to us could be what chuck norris is to computer nerds.

    the internet is so confusing.
