travis Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Suburbia completely blows this album away. Havent heard Fireworks yet, been meaning to get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magalvsr13 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 travis, whats the word on a HT color for this? and yeah, this album is alright, but not what ive come to expect from SYG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I didn't say I thought this was better Suburbia, just that on first listen it was more enjoyable. Parts of this album actually stood out to me. But, there is way too much harmonizing on this record, and makes the vocals fairly annoying at times. Also, "Product of the 80's" has to be one of the worst songs I have ever heard. Way too silly to be anything more than a bonus track.

thejesseb Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ive never really been into SYG, but for some reason I really like what I hear. London Heathrow is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I don't get the hate for TWBTDOU. That album was leaps and bounds better than Mutiny, which essentially was two or three killer songs and a whole bunch of transition tracks. The new one, I'm sort of on the fence about. I wish they would've kept pushing to be more experimental within the hardcore/pop-punk boundaries like they did on TWBTDOU but instead it seems a bit by-the-book, musically. Lyrically, it still delivers, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magalvsr13 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 TWBTDOU through and through is 10x the album mutiny was, they expanded their songwriting and starting pushing themselves into new bounds lyrically. the new one seems like they took about 8 steps backwards. i've heard they were writing this one to be more like mutiny but it seems like they went backwards even past that.

travis Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Loved Mutiny, liked TWBTDOU, and this one just seems kinda...flat. Need to listen to it some more tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Part of my "meh"-ness on this record is the production. Usually a band I like + Brian McTernan = audio gold, but this time, it just doesn't seem to line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a band I like + Brian McTernan = audio gold, but this time, it just doesn't seem to line up. Agreed. I really don't understand the vocal production, and how some of the guitar leads sound. McTernan killed it on Gospel and Separation (as well as just about everything else he has done), so I really don't know what went wrong here.

mcm1610 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I liked TWBTDOU a bit more than Mutiny, but this one is very boring. I don't know if a single song grabbed me in my two listens so far, which is sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelthibodeau Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 So far I think it's listenable but nothing standing out. Something that I would eventually grab, but I got a lot of other records that I need before this one. If I stumble on it at a store with a decent price and some extra money I would consider it...

Guest gob Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 product of the 80s... really syg? REALLY??? Ugh, that song is just bad. Not digging it. I like probably 3 songs off this atm.

magalvsr13 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 balls, was hoping to grab this today but neither of the HTs that are close to me and have a vinyl section have this in right now. ill give it a few days and then just order it online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanRees Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I was into it for the first 5 or 6 songs while riding my bike to work yesterday, the 2nd half of the album not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
