I dig the idea here and I really enjoyed the 2 EPs that preceded this but this album was kinda meh to me when I first listened to it [but that may be just because it was released while I was on a tech death binge] so I will need to listen to it more before I say "the 2 EPs were def a lot better than this". By progressive I don't think he meant progressive like Dream Theater and Opeth are progressive but progressive as in for -core this is showing progression beyond just standard fair -core, it's something new for a change; even if the riffs are still relatively chug-a-chug the electronic/dubstep additions are relatively "fresh". And if I had to choose between this and Asking Alexandria this is by far the better imo.

Please, like mixing electronic and metal is fresh. And don't get me started on how stale dubstep is.

LMAO on the pic! Hence the "" marks around it, haha. That's what I see and hear all over the place when people are talking about how "amazing and fresh" bands like Asking Alexandria are because of the type of electronics they are using, and The Browning use similar electronics [but imo do it better than Asking Alexandria]. So many people consider them a "...breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale genre...".

Ah I understand where you're coming from now. Makes sense.

This is very original and I like it... You guys are so close minded

There's a difference between being close-minded and just not liking something.

I gave this a chance; hence, I went in with an open mind. I listened to over half of the album. I was incredibly disappointed, disgusted, you name it. It did not sit will with me because I prefer listening to music that I consider good, and this album did not fulfill that requirement.

In fact I don't think any of us here who don't like it are close-minded. We all gave it a chance and we decided it sucked based on what it sounded like.

The one song I heard so far doesn't sound as horrible to me as people claim it to be. The deathcore parts utterly suck (and I say that as a person who really doesn't mind the occasional deathcore, as well as an Ion Dissonance, Born of Osiris and As Blood Runs Black fan) however the electronica parts I have found to be relatively ok. Still I dunno if I should bother with the rest of this...

As for that picture, despite it being supposedly sarcastic, it essentially is correct in a literal sense. The early dubstep movement was far different than the mainstreamized washmashine crap that exists nowadays, anyone who claims otherwise is either ignorant or just as blinded by bias as a random non-metalhead is who is like WAAARGH METULZ IZ JUST SCERAMING!!!!!444. Sure you can find that bland too, it is understandable since it is quite minimalist, but it is a totally different species. Yes, I have listened to enough dubstep to know, and yes, I will say this literally EVERY TIME someone brings this up

More like "Burn This Album."

At least SOAD wanted people to steal theirs...

I lol'd at the "(you know, the "Skrillex = homostep" guys)" part. Honestly, don't think i'll be checking this out though... Furthest I'd do is listen to it on youtube or mediafire it.

I actually quite like it. The electronic parts in particular. The deathcore parts are a bit meh, but not bad as such. With a bit more practice it could be really good

Is this not the definition of crabcore?

You made it sound interesting so I checked it out on youtube, I quite like the drumming but the techno sounded so happy compared to the metal it made me laugh out loud
