That was my biggest gripe as well, there’s little to no vocal variation in any of the songs, it makes for a really bland listening experience

FTTWTE felt complete because they had different ideas and used them all to the maximum. Almost every song on this album feels completely different. The new album feels like an in-between to me. Like Architects took their favourite style from the last album (Animals and An Ordinary Extinction), put it in a blender and made an album out of it.

Feels like all these metalbands are playing catch-up with BMTH.

Nice pp

I think the reason every song feels to long is because they're playing a style of modern hard rock that I feel like usually has 2.5 to 3 minute long songs but all the songs on this album are like 4 minutes long and repeat too much.

I feel like I came out of every single song on this album like “that was alright.” Every songs sounds more or less the same and it’s all just very serviceable

I'm gonna be honest I love Sam as a vocalist but he sometimes sounds awkward or out of place on this record, whether it's his pitch or just the lyrics in general. There's a few decent tracks on this album but It's mostly a miss for me, which is a shame because I actually quite enjoyed FTTWTE

I remember a comment I read a while back, that architects and parkway drive are in a contest about who can disappoint more, which is starting to get more based by the day

I really like this album, as a whole piece it's repetitive indeed, but I've listened to it a couple of times and I suddenly realized, that I like every single song and I wanna jump into it again

This album really feels like their first foray into developing a newer sound and for whatever reason it felt half-baked to me. Not that spending endless time in the studio is the answer but I think if they're looking to grow stylistically their next album will probably hit the mark. Plenty of good songs on this album, but nothing that's made me stop and have a moment like FTTWTE. Still a brave effort and trying to not just make the same album over and over is difficult.

interesting you mentioned royal blood, some of the vocal melodies also gave me royal blood vibes. Not seen anyone else mention the similarities until you.

I understand that a lot of ppl don't like when a band rly differs from their bread & butter with their core sound but honestly imo as long as they don't totally derail from wut they know they're capable of as a band & are able to introduce new/different aspects & concoct a cool new type of sound thru an album then honestly it's not that bad to me. And personally, I fucking love this album front to back it's rly well thought out & it's a whole separate vibe from everything else they've done. But as with any album of theirs, I do have my personal favorites. From 1 to 5, my faves are Deep Fake, When We Were Young, A New Moral Ground, Tear Gas & Be Very Afraid.

For me they kind of went from the band that I listen to a new song from expecting to love it to a band that I listen to a new song from expecting to not like it

I really dislike the industrial vibes personally, i'm getting bored real quick of the Ta-Dum, Ta-Dum, Ta-Dum. I don't mind them exploring their sound and not just doing heavier stuff but taking out most of the riffs and the complex structures to bring this Industrial vibes is a huge regression for my part

I’m a huge architects fan. I didn’t have high expectations coming into this album because the singles were pretty mid to me. However, having listened to it, I’m not upset as I expected to be. As an artist myself (3D artist), I admire what they did. They knew many people would hate this album but made it anyways as a genuine expression from where they’re at in life. That is ultimately what being an artist is about. It’s not just about making music others will like or even making something insanely innovative believe it or not. I agree some parts are boring, but many people have been overreacting. It’s not a bad album. It’s just a different hard rock sound which many of us metal heads typically find boring. Maybe a 6/10 for me but the people saying “this is just sad” should put themselves in the bands shoes for a second. It’s a period of growth and change. I’m sure they expect it to be difficult finding exactly what type of music they want to make right now. They are not stupid. Im sure they know they can’t fully live up to the expectations of Holy Hell and AGHAU. They likely even accept they’ll never top those in many peoples eyes. I’m sure they’ll make more A grade bangers over the years too. It’s just a totally different phase of life for them now. They probably feel a strong urge to make something entirely different from their old records for many reasons and I can’t blame them. I agree the lyrics aren’t as great as they used to be. The album could have used more time in my opinion. Some songs are close to being great but just miss the chefs touch. All things considered, it’s a decent hard rock album with a couple highlights and very genuine message behind it. People are acting like it’s fucking Parkway Drives new album which just isn’t the case lol. That shit is actually comically bad.

So in all reality, they didn't write this record for anyone but themselves. I personally enjoy the sonic experimentation going on. This is their tenth album. After holy hell I totally get why they changed direction. Without Tom, they were gonna shift directions one way or the other. And for all of you that hated FTTWTE, that album was top of a few charts, and this one might do the same. If you look at this as a concept album with the name implied, it's pretty easy to see that this album is meant to be "dull" and "empty". Just let them enjoy themselves and if you don't enjoy it then go back to holy hell or daybreaker or anything before or after that. There's 9 other albums to pick from. Cheers

Now the lads want to evolve and go further : why isn't it okay ? Their others albums are very pessimistics and they are 8 (FFTWTE is different). It's like Thornhill and their big change from The Dark Pool to Heroine : if you want another Holy Hell or All our gods..., juste listen to it ! Music evolves as the ppl. I don't say TCSOABS is a masterpiece cause its not. But I respect the choices of the lads, and this album is still very enjoyable. Not depressing as the others btw.

Being a huge fan for many years now the thing that disappointed and pissed me off is their day before release statement damage controlling this thing, saying they are too old for "angry music" and metalcore is exactly that, however Dan proceeds to post this a few days back: "other than the singles the album is classic metalcore". I really trusted these guys but it feels completely opposite of genuine, from the lazy artwork, using Cevini once again drowning the mix, making it complete static and times and Sam's voice in oversaturation effects and what not, lazy 3 riffs the whole album (trying to be objective as possible as a guitar player myself) , 9 out of 11 songs with the 2-step drumming 0 variation and/or accents.

FTTWTE is my favourite Architects album, this because it has a perfect mix of heaviness and softer parts which makes the heavy (personally) even more heavier compared to the other albums where most of it is constant scream singing. I like some songs (Doomsday, Royal beggers, Gone with the wind, ...) of the previous albums, but most of it is too heavy for me. This album a lot less heavier. For a Buttrock fan, the album definitely isn't bad, but I miss the Metalcore vibes and the intensity. There are hardly any real feels, but perhaps it will grow on me. However I'm sure some of the songs might slap hard live. In the end, I'm sure more people will get into Architects and that's only a good thing for the band.

I do find it weird that they said they went into making this album with total creative freedom, but every track follows the same template. I think alot of these tracks will slap live. Architects aren't playing pub shows anymore; they're playing arenas now. LT//LF, AOGHAU and holy hell won't sound too great in an arena. I also think people need to listen to the album for what it is rather than what it's not. People want the tech metal with the face melting breakdowns, and Architects are saying nah we don't want to do that right now. And that's fine.

For some reason this album feels rushed, like in a way you can say it is because it came a year after FTTWTE, but it shows honestly. Like others, I tried to like it lol

I agree and I don't understand the reason. Maybe they wrote these songs for the previous album but they discarded them so they were "mmm we want to put these songs anyway because we are proud of them" or something else, but it was too soon.

@@davidemarconi9146 exactly, I feel like a lot of these songs were quickly written or were like b-sides or something for the last album but they decided to make a whole new album with them. Kind of a dud album imo

You can tell some of Toms influence was left in Holy Hell, because since then its been downhill. Same flat passionless vocals. Look at the raw grittyness of vocals on songs like early grave, broken cross, hollow crown etc now its just flat radio rock.

when Holy Hell came out, all of those songs gave me goosebumps. LF//LT and AOGHAU were both God tier. I miss those vocal styles, breakdowns, and riffs

Slipping into PWD territory and moving towards stadium dad rock

This is one of those albums that I mindlessly headbang to. It didn't make me feel anything, and I don't have any interest in listening to it again. I really liked Burn Down My House at first, but I felt like it never progressed or went anywhere. Even though I liked the different, dark atmosphere of that song, it stayed stagnant the whole way through. Most of the singles are the standouts, and Doomscrolling was the best new song imo. LFLT, All Our Gods, and Holy Hell were my favorite albums of theirs. This one is fine, but not memorable for me.

Doomscreaming feels so long because there's SO much singing in it.

This new BMTH album kinda slaps

So witty and original

damn the whole album sounds like a B-Side of FTTWTE the songs that feels like it didn't make the cut so they just decide to make an whole album from it... Sam is a top tier vocalist but the tones and melodies he does in this record all sounds the same but with different lyrics

Sams heavy deep vocals are on the last song I think

personally i loved the album. i know it's not holy hell or aoghau but it's great

I really like the singles so far, but I tend to agree if you listen to this album from start to finish it kinda feels like a lot of the same tone. I feel like it needed another song that was different than the rest, whether that’s heavy or something completely different.

I think the problem is that all the songs sound very much the same. You can click anywhere in the video and it'll sound the same 9/10 times. It gets very boring very quickly. The other problem is the 2nd song in the album is messy and really drives the attention down because you spend so much time trying to figure it out instead of enjoying it. It really needed a good "just listen and enjoy" song on the second track and more variety in sound beyond that. they literally just sound like Three Days Grace over the last decade.

Yeah I’m not feeling this one, I respect the hell out of the band and always will but I don’t have to like everything they do. The only song I think I’ll come back to is be very afraid

As a big fan of architects this album isn’t it for me. The singles was okay and outside of the singles be very afraid was the only other song that i kinda liked. The lyrics to me for the album seems very generic now and the songs starts blinding together sound wise and it felt like a long listen where i was ready for it to be over with so i can listen to the other releases of that week. Out of the past three albums: Holy Hell was a master piece that (that for me at Least) a long time fan can enjoy, FTTWTE was a fun little experiment album with some quirks of songs that wasn’t to good imo, and this is just feels like a one time listen album for me.

Oh my how far they have fallen. At least we have their old stuff to enjoy cause this new shit just isn’t it.

At first, I wasn't all too into the album, however I feel it was meant to be listened to as a whole album, hence the cohesiveness throughout. Try listening to it without pressing anything, and it's quite a good album, far from the previous album though. Wish it had some collabs on it

Exactly. I didn’t expect a whole lot. Especially considering they released it so soon after their last record. I don’t really think this album was supposed to be an “award winning album” for lack of a better term. They hardly advertised it and dropped When We Were Young out of nowhere. Sounds to me like good friends just making good hard rock together as they continue searching for who they are. I have to say, I’m totally okay with this record. Its good. Maybe not great but good overall. A few songs are great. Some people are saying “it’s just sad” which seems really ignorant to me. Like bro, it’s not that bad. It’s just not really innovative. Which is a fair critique but goddamn it, I’ve heard Parkway Drive “If A God Can Bleed” and this is not that at all lol. We’ll probably look back at this record like “yeah it’s alright.” Regardless of what they create from here on out, these guys made an incredible impact on the scene. They made 2-3 god tier records. They had a hell of a prime if it’s already passed and will forever continue to inspire me as an artist.

@@JhamEntertainment people just need to be happy they dropped some material 😂 also they're great people and really nice to work with!

I honestly don't think I could differentiate a single song from another in this album. They all sound the same

Ok where's the Taylor Swift album reaction though

I get how they can't just change the name because labels and marketing and all of that jazz, but this is so very clearly a different band. Send this album back a few years and call it Architects and everyone laughs. People change and what they want to do musically changes as well, but this is just so utterly boring to me. I'm into rock as well as the heavy-bang-bangs, but this is so repetitive and boring. They're all talented but it's all so very meh.

love the Burn down my house best coz it's probably the only exception in this whole album

You know what, I thought exactly the same thing and couldn't understand the shift towards the generic over the last two albums. However, if you go and see them play the new stuff live it instantly makes more sense! This album especially seems to be geared toward the live performance, potentially at the expense of the record itself. It's just a theory though, the true test will be at the O2 next month with Biffy Clyro and I cannot wait! I'll make sure to report back my findings from the pit 😉.

It's hard to say and to accept but Tom was the creative backbone behind Architects. The Last two records are so blank in regards of songwriting. It almost hurts to see what they have become

Architects actually are capable of writing great material without him. On Holy Hell there was only 2-3 songs written by Tom from starting to finish

All this songs are very similar, is a good album, but ... I don't know man, the new album of Northlane and Bad Omens have different and electronic sounds but they are not boring,.
