As a SWS fan who also listens enjoys some pop music, they didn’t lose my interest after switching up their sound. (Reminds me a lot of panic at the disco’s change) but I will say, their first few albums were 100% their best work.

I agree with all your points, especially with Feel. Personally, PERSONALLY... I had been a huge fan for years. They lost my interest after Maddness- I don't resent them for that though. I see their new sound as... just evolution. It's not my sound, but I still respect what their doing. I'll just sit back and lavish in my teen years encompassed by their early years. And I'm okay with that ❤❤

"Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows" you triggered a memory from the recesses of my brain that has been buried for EONS

I think a BIG part of why they were a fluke was that some of the songs from their first songs had stolen music from unsigned bands they toured with the year before the With Ears To See album. For starters, they toured in 2010 and played with Serra Velle. Serra Velle released a song titled “Victorious Secret” in 2009 (it’s easy to find on KZread), and had toured with the song for at least a year before playing a show with SWS, who didn’t release “If You Can’t Hang” until 2011 after Serra Velle split off into other projects. Check both out. It’s sus as hell.

I’ve been binge watching!!! This channel is so underrated!!❤️❤️❤️

One thing I realize now that I'm older it's that they are not really a band that connects with fans. Most fans have said that Kellin treated them bad in m&g, also, their videos don't show scenes for teenagers to relate to. There was this song called Better of dead which really showed how much they exploded the whole concept of "suicidal teen", but when the music came out it was about an abandoned house and the main character was a grown up woman with tons of plastic surgeries, just a generic Instagram girl, not that it's bad to be that, but it just shows how they can write a song but they don't have the hability to express it in a video. None of the videos they have publishes say something. They are a very plane, boring and comercial. They really sucks.

Kris Crummet is the reason Sleeping With Sirens had an amazing album. Also worth noting Crummet who porduces most Dance Gavin Dance albums. Crummet was the secret ingredient. Also interesting DGD has dissed sleeping with sirens on the song demo team and that Kellin Quinn once auditioned to be the new lead singer of DGD after they kicked out Johnny Craig the first time.

Crummet is one of my favorite producers . Really helped so many bands develop their own sound without being cookie cutter like Joey Sturgis ended up becoming. I love Joey’s work as well it’s just he stuck with the same template for every band. Crummet has a much more diverse catalogue of sounds and bands.

Love your videos dude, keep it up. I couldn't think of a better way of telling the stories of these bands than from someone so well versed and who genuinely loves the music as much as we do

To be fair, as a person who has the Gossip album cd - that era was kind of okay? Majority of the songs were easily forgettable, but that doesn't exactly mean it was dog shit bad. It really wasn't my cup of tea, but I still enjoyed the album and wouldn't mind jamming out to it if it ever came on the radio or something yknow?

I’m officially in love with all of your album analyses. Thank you for all the (what I considered) underground information and confirming a lot of my opinions on the music. Wasn’t friends with any like minded people back in the day so this is refreshing... 10 years later 😂

Your videos are quickly becoming some of my favourites

I love all of SWS albums for different reasons. The band grew with the listeners. I don’t really care that the albums sound different?? They’re still my fave band. I’m interested to know your thoughts on the most recent album, How it Feels to be Lost.

Damn, it's hard to compile so much about one band. Hats off to your research. SWS were one of my favourite bands in my teens. And to know what happened to them now is kind off nostalgic. Thanks and keep up the good work.

The reason I love this channel is it makes me want to go back and relisten to the stuff I loved years ago as well as get into some stuff I missed. Props.

Finally came to one of your videos and didn't ended up crying .

Madness was a good record, actually. Feel and Gossip kinda suck, though How It Feels To Be Lost was pretty solid. Edit: Captain Tyin Knots has some contenders for heaviest SWS song. See Medicine, Blood Lines, and Break Me Down.

My brother great job on all you’re vids!!! I REALLY dig the rise and fall vids!!! Plus you’ve got a GREAT name!!!!

I've been loving watching your videos and re-living some good times! 😭 You set the scene so well I feel like I've time traveled lol keep it up! 🖤

I once read Kellin is a businessman and it makes sense from what they put out and how it's connected to what's " in " at the time there's a danger of coming off as insincere though which limits your connection to the audience especially if you came from a scene i think it's different for someone like ariana who was always a marketed pop star

Haha love the title fight mention. Big fan of title fight so whenever they’re brought up it def makes me happy BUUUUUT hyperview in my opinion is a good title fight album. An argument can be made that the ground work was laid in Floral green and a lot in spring songs. Either way I can see how a lot of people dislike hyperview when they expect more of a shed sound

This was awesome! Great channel man! I actually met Kellin way before he started sleeping with sirens. As far as I know he lived in Medford, Oregon and was in an acoustic band he named Closer2Closure. He did vocals (obviously) and the acoustic guitar was played by a guy named Titus. If you guys haven’t checked out his old stuff it’s really good. Anyways they broke up and there was talk about Kellin wanting to put together a new band and Kellin reached out to one of my buddies and asked if he was interested in playing drums. My friend turned him down because he just had his baby boy born and wanted to focus more on being a dad. Come to find out sleeping with sirens was born and looking how big Kellin got we were all blown away!!! My friend blew his opportunity to travel the world and play drums!! Crazy how life is sometimes. If there’s an opportunity presented to you you take it!!! Haha

Love your videos on my 8th one this week!

I honestly feel like their defining album was their first album. They sort of progressed backwards like some good bands do from time to time. Another band that lost me after their second album was The Word Alive.

I'm surprised you didn't touch on Idols & Anchors for early Kellin, since that was the origin of Let Love Bleed Red, but another great video!

so happy i came across our videos! miss these days honestly

I saw SWS at soundstage in Baltimore which is a smaller venue and they put on a stadium show. It was fucking breathtakingly beautiful. Kellan sounds exactly how he sounds on albums, which is so rare, he lives there with Anthony Green, Andrew MacMahon, Dallas Green and Chino Moreno. All people who are even more enchanting live. I saw SWS at warped tour as well and they still sounded fucking amazing in an outdoor venue, on one of the main stages in the fucking rain. I love the story so far, but Parker has no vocal stamina and can be lazy with his singing which is crazy considering the way he flings himself around the stage. You know who I forgot? This Wild Life. Beautiful live. When I heard Andrew MacMahon sing Dark Blue live, I cried. When I heard Anthony Green sing East Coast Winters live, I cried. When I heard Dallas Green sing Hello, I'm in Delaware live, I cried. When I heard Chino Moreno sing Digital Bath live, I cried. When I heard This Wild Life sing No More Bad Days live, I cried. Any way I guess my point is is that I think they are trying to follow these artists in their trajectories, but they didn't evolve slow enough? Like arguably Deftones have always evolved pretty quickly but not really, I would say they paced it well and it wasn't until Koi No Yokan, where some people were like, what? But that is also maybe because the rest of these artists have side projects and other bands to express things that don't follow the overall POV of their main projects. Like with the exception of Dallas where City & Colour is what he is more known for. Anthony has his solo stuff, Saosin and that way Circa always sound like Circa. Andrew had Something Corporate & Jack's Mannequin and now he combines both with his touring act. Chino has Team Sleep and Crosses. So they keep their original sound in tact by taking what doesn't fit and putting it there. Maybe that's what would focus SWS mission statement that they made so clear with their first 2 albums which are beautiful and songs that I consistently go back to. Sorry this was long winded. I love to talk about music and no one I know cares as much or more than I do! It's so amazing listening to your insights! Also can you do a video on. Secret & Whisper?!

Couldnt have said it any better! Subscribed

Dude I’m really loving your videos

Just curious how you think How It Feels To Be Lost fits in now that its been released? I really liked the analysis of this video and it was super well done so im DYING to know your thoughts

You're actually quite right in saying with ears felt more like an ep since (and you may know this already idk) sws were originally gonna release a self-titled ep but that then got pushed to become an album by rise. It's definitely worth having a listen to the bomb dot com v1 and big gulps huh well see you later, two songs that were gonna be on the ep but never made it onto with ears if you haven't already. I did wanna also bring up a point that you didn't really mention. Personally, I think at least, with ears is the best album when you look at it from a lyrical perspective. All the albums after that just don't quite hold the uniqueness that with ears does when it comes to lyrics. For me, all their other albums have more 'generic' (I'm using that term loosely, however) and formulaic lyrics whereas with ears, while it obviously isn't a completely unique album lyric-wise, just stands out more than the other albums do in that respect. I discovered sws during the madness era but it's still their first two records that I think are the best in their discography, however, madness still holds a place in my heart, especially songs like better off dead and kick me as that's what I discovered them from. Anyway, fantastic video, really enjoyed it, keep it up!! I'd love to also hear your opinions on hiftbl and how it ties into their discography now

I died laughing at the “metalcore punch each other” line. The wall of death was definitely a thing haha. Ya girl got a huge scar on her eyebrow thanks to punch each other two step metalcore elitism lol and I never minded in fact I enjoyed it which says something about the time I think.

Haha you were so spot on about feel! Back in 2013, I remember pre-ordering feel at HMV & then picking it up & listening to it & didn’t really like it much. I definitely just bought it because I loved their other albums & was excited to hear it. However I actually saw them on their most recent tour & I do love their new album.

Have you considered starting a website to write album/music reviews? You have such a clear understanding of the dynamics of albums.

Can you make a video on ptv? Anything related lmao

I just found this video and I agree with your thoughts. I've seen them once here in the Philippines and I love SWS to death. I have all their albums, including the newest HIFTBL. But I personally stopped listening to them after the FEEL album. Maybe because I simply prefer their heavy stuff. "Save Me A Spark" and "Fly" were the only tracks I like from Madness. "Kick Me" was a banger though. Also, We Came As Romans were never a part of Rise Records roster. They're from Equal Vision Records. Great band too! Hope you make a video of them as well. Hope to see more of your content. :)

Stay for tonight, if you want to! 🔥🔥 Brings back high school vibes man. I still find myself jamming this whole album.. My guilty pleasure 😂🔥

I think this is a super dope video and I totally feel a lot of what you're saying. I'd be super curious to know what you think about their most recent album How It Feels To Be Lost

Facts bro! couldn't agree more. Genius!

Aside from the music, I think Kellin's attitude contributed to some of their downfall. I remembered watching a Bryan Stars interview where Kellin was openly criticizing his fan's looks (who was standing feets away from the interview). People were also angry how much he overcharged for a meet and greet at one point. I've never seen SWS live but my friend told me he was very rude and stuck up to the crowd (unlike PTV who was also touring at the time), and many people online said that he was also rude during his meet and greets too. His fans felt mistreated and many left, simple as that.

i agree with this! There was definitely a time where Kellin just wasn’t being interactive with fans and coming off as rude. I did meet him when they were doing that small record shop tour for Gossip, and I will say I think his attitude changed a lot, he was sick but he still interacted with fans and was super nice at the meet and greet. I also saw them on their latest tour for HIFTBL and I thought his stage presence was a lot better and more interactive :-)

Never forget when I was side stage at Warped. I saw Kellin come out before the set, point to my friend and me, and the security guard came over to us and told us we needed to leave. We had artists passes and could be on stage/ side stage at any performance. So, I always thought maybe he didn’t think we were pretty enough to be on stage 🙃

A day to remember PLEASEEEE

if u watch a title fight set after hyperview had already been out the songs sound great in the context of songs from floral green, shed, and even the first record

I hope they could go back to their roots, they may not do it album per album but just give the OG fans another shot of their old style

We absolutely need a pierce the veil video!!!

It looks like we’re going on a *FEEL* trip. I had forgot about the MGK feature on the album _Feel_

for me, Madness has been their greatest album. I love Feel for the song congratulations by itself already, as I saw them playing it on the day before my bday lmao. I saw them live for the first time during the gossip tour. Im very happy where the band is headed with the new album and hope they continue this way. I liked gossip but imo that was their most bland album.

it’s been years since i was in that scene but i’ll still admit with ears to see is their best work and it’s a good album, same with let’s cheer to this. ah those songs take me straight back to 2013 warped tour. i look back on those times fondly

What are your thoughts on How It Feels To be lost, I would be interested to hear a review.

I would've loved for sleeping with sirens to experiment with smooth 1920's -1940's sensual saxophone jazz like something found within a noire film. Also I think it would've been dope to see them take the Billie eilish/Pvris route in terms of a haunting and chilling songs that mixes in electronic sounds,classical instruments,and that noire jazz style. This would've been in my opinion a killer evolution.

Ur awesome dude. You could do the color morale. What do you listen to now? I feel like we have same musical taste.

I stopped listening after Let’s Cheers to This back in the day, but over the past couple of years I like a lot of newer songs they’ve put out. Will always be one of my favorite bands!

I listen to heavy bands like Meshuggah, Death, Slayer etc. but I don't get the hate bands like Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil etc. get from the metal gatekeepers. I agree that they're not as heavy or brutal, but their music are good and deserves just as much merit.

Okay you did do SWS but I think it’s time for an update sometime 😍😍

It’s not just you on the early metalcore sound. I’m close personal friends with one of the original guitar players and he is a big metal guy since middle school.

Good video, man. You're passionate about this stuff, just like myself. Anyway; Brandon McMaster (lead guitarist on their first album) was the key to success for them in terms of good music (the good post-hardcore sound with nice fret tapping and well done guitarwork). A shame he left after that first album. It was all downhill from there I'm afraid.

I like your analysis and how in depth you get. I like your videos. However, I disagree with bands that change their sounds and that meaning some "identity crisis" for a band. If you're a musician don't you want to expand your range? Kellin being the vocals, it's interesting to hear that same voice sing his music in different ways. I actually like it. I loved Roger rabbi. It was so different but still amazing.

You think you could do a video on close to home all I know about them is some members started a new band called actual villians

@ The Cozy Representative do you know something about their DEMO EP??? there are some uploads on youtube but only shitty quality...

Can you make a vid about BMTH??

AW i liked Feel :( also their newest album is like a breath of fresh air after madness and the one after that (forgot the title) I realllly liked the new album it's not the same as old work but it sounds like OG almost.

Wait you haven't reviewed how it feels to be lost yet? Seems like something you would have done the moment you got your hands on it after making this video

What did you think about "How It Feels to Be Lost"? Also, I feel like the reason "Feel" was so all over the place was that they maybe knew that they were known for being able to pull of these different styles so maybe they tried to make something different from their previous works but instead of standing out from the rest it just kinda fell flat.

I’m one of those people who doesn’t like a lot of their music after Feel. I lowkey love that album for some reason. I agree w you on a lot of the points you made about it, but I still love it. I don’t listen to much of their newer stuff anymore, mostly just their first 3-4 albums/eps

Or listening to the new blink album nine i was extremely disappointed too poppy
