It takes a certain amount of intelligence to post about gatefoldgate

Substream posted update on the SN scandal:

Looks like a past girlfriend talks about her relationship with Cam and how he was emotional abusive. Also documents how SN guitarist Adam tried to get her to take down a comment to Cams statement. 
 
My thoughts: Rape is a criminal offense. Its very serious and anyone who does it should face the consequences. Also, Cam seems to have some major issues with control within relationships. Heck as a husband, I have to work on never trying to belittle my wife. Its a fine line, and some of the stuff in this article makes you wonder how men in the society view their relationships/women in general. Very unfortunate for all in involved, especially the victims.

Just finished the 'making of' doc. Few notes: 
1) As previously mentioned - Grant & James not there. No creative input whatsoever. As well as not even them playing on the record.  That just seems....very...odd.  I don't understand how they're cool with this? It almost makes you wonder how on-board they were with Matt producing and the direction the other 4 wanted to take. 
2) A constantly repeated line throughout is the fact that them making heavy music would have sounded stale. That making even one song that sounded like DTGL or LITSOS would've been weak and no one would like it. This depresses me. I would've loved to hear at least 2-3 songs that were heavier, riffed out and a couple decent breakdowns. That with the other 9 songs that explore/experiment would've done it for me. I'd been satisfied for sure. 
 
Dan from The Wonder Years (who've been evolving/maturing on each respective album ) said it best in an interview  recently: "As music fans, we know what it feels like when a band leaves us behind. I remember hearing records when I was younger and saying 'wow, what happened to the band that I liked?' But I also remember what it felt like to get a record and be like 'Damn, this is just the last record they made all over again!' I think because we’ve taken those incremental steps and moved forward thoughtfully with each release, this feels like a natural move for us to make."
 
At the end of the day, I'm done with this whole convo about the album. It is what it is. Decent rock album. And pretty good when not taken in any kind of sonic context. 

Too many people caught up with an Underoath record in 2018 I guess. 
As for this album? As previously previously mentioned. Absolute masterpiece. My favorite so far.  Can't wait to get the booklet/vinyl this afternoon 

WTF happened to this place. Album release day and I had to scroll to the 3rd page to find this thread?! 

1) I officially don't like Matt Squire. "Get rid of all the breakdowns and shit". 
2) I'm really tired of hearing artist regurgitate "we grew up" bs. I get it. Influences change. You mellow out somewhat when you have to begin being an adult. But only to a certain extent. My go to example of a band "growing up"/"growing older" yet losing absolutely no energy - Every Time I Die. Keith an Co. are approx 4-5 years older than Aaron, Spencer and the rest of UO. Yet ETID just put out possibly they're most aggressive and pummeling albums to date (2014's From Parts Unknown & 2016's Low Teens). 
 
And so what if they sound very similar to previous albums. That didnt make me dislike them or not enjoy their newer work because it was still in the vein of the stuff from their twenties. Keith even had a side project where he primarily sung. And I'm sure that outlet provided him the opportunity to 'explore' new things musically and yet have the ability to come back to ETID and still produce heavy freakin music. 
 
I'm sure I'm just being narrow minded here. But its just seems to me this is all an excuse and/or major influence from a producer to create something different for the sake of "creativeness".

I'm still trying to figure out if you enjoy the album.

I agree 100% im sick of the grew up bullshit everyone always says. Converge, Norma Jean, August burns red, ETID, Cult Of Luna have all progressed as bands and definitely matured their sound while still sticking to the core that made them great. 

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing an underoath T-shirt anywhere in public after this album.

Dogs here, but yea, no question

I think these songs are great. Super excited for this 

Got my copy in of II this afternoon. Currently listening. As for packaging - as with the other MATSOD release, very bare bones. But when it comes to the sound quality ——this record freaking rocks. Quiet and very good amount of bass, freaking sub is putting in work right now. Can’t wait for III (fingers crossed)
