parkinglot Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I had to stop the song when his voice got really high pitched. Holy shit that was bad. chriswamsley, Brevity38, chamb117 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subplotofcrows Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Pretty standard post-Pedestals Such Gold song. I like this song more than about half of Misadventures, but it hasn't captured that energy or same charm and feeling as the first 2 EPs. When Ben started playing guitar live, they seemed to lose that energy. The band is really talented and I feel they have something great in them, I'm just not sure they can hack it on full lengths.

carryonkid Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I know it's already been said, but, holy shit, that's easily the worst cover art I've seen all year. Looks like the 90's worship trend has officially gone too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtconners Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Doesn't sound like Such Gold... Kinda has a similar feel to Ben and Jon's side project Taking Meds to me. Well these guys are from Rochester and so am I so I'll continue to support them no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Anyone else have a hard time believing those are limited to 100 each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Anyone else have a hard time believing those are limited to 100 each?Kind of. I'm thinking maybe they are limited to 100 each... in the merchnow store. Did their last album sell really poorly on vinyl to warrant only 500 pressed for this one? Unless there is another variant we don't know about going to retailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 pretty much closing the book on this band. they haven't been relevant to me since pedestals, aka 2010, which is a long time now that i think about it. "choosing cages" (from the wax packs split) was a really solid track, so it gave me hope, but this song is a huge swing-and-miss. it's ok, SG. we had a good run. dethrock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The pressing details of their last few releases have been sketchy as well. I know with the Storyteller 7" the pressing info changed from when it went up to when it shipped. The same pressing info for Misadventures was also never very clear from the start. pretty much closing the book on this band. they haven't been relevant to me since pedestals, aka 2010, which is a long time now that i think about it.

SBarry Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 this stinks Wow this band's sound is awful compared to when I first listened to Stand Tall and Pedestals which were enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundboard Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Looks like I might be in the minority here but I like the new song. However, I don't think I like it enough to give up the money they want for the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enyfour5 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm pretty scared to give this a listen due to all the negative backlash, but I will listen in a bit and i'm hoping that everyone is playing a joke lol Such Gold was so awesome live when I saw them last year with The Story So Far and Stick To Your Guns.... I do agree that $20 is pretty steep, i wish it was $20 ppd lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enyfour5 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I don't know what you guys are talking about but that was pretty fucking good. No the best, but definitely not horrible. At the end of the day, it's all your opinion, so I respect that. I hope they do realize their prices are a bit steep and eventually lower them, but that will unlikely happen, people will eventually fold and buy the record.

mmhmm Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I recognize that popular opinion doesn't necessarily determine a band's quality but I gotta laugh at how maybe two people in this thread have admitted to liking this song. Because...it's pretty bad lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Love Such Gold, but sorry I can't support an album that is called "The New Sidewalk" and features artwork of a street w/ no sidewalks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've been drinking and I'm gonna be honest, this new wave of pop punk is just pure shit. This new song, KnucklepucK, etc..., I don't get it/see the appeal. Its junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Anyone else have a hard time believing those are limited to 100 each?It looks like they removed the /100 from the description of both of those colored copies.

dethrock Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Another new song, it's better but I still don't know what to think. http://vevo.ly/o1CMYb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeine Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 *Looks left and right to make sure there are no haters around...*I liked 'Misadventures' more than all their old stuff, and so far I think the new stuff is just as good, or even better than 'Misadventures.' Progression is nice. I actually liked the first track released a little more than this second one upon first listen.I didn't like the 2 tracks they released in between records, though.

AWasteOfATime Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 new track rips. would have been way better as the first single. maybe Razor & Tie marketing is just being shitty as per usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Choosing Cages and Framed.) i totally agree and think misadventures is a great album that progresses in sound and feel throughout. it feels as though this second new song represents the duality this band has showcased since Pedestals. as far as those two split songs, I like choosing cages, save for the beginning which feels corny, great solo though. as far as framed goes, i've only heard it once.. the first time in which i got ash in my eye, which put a sour memory to the sound. the second i listened to it was a couple weeks ago, and its okay but not nearly as rippin.

chamb117 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 thread took a weird turn. everyone's back on the bandwagon now? saw a lot of "this song rips" but i didn't hear it. it was fast, sure. the drums kept the song moving. but if nauseating "rips" then i'd love to hear how we describe past such gold songs.
