sspeck Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 part of the pre-order incentiveOhh, that makes more sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Will pick up. Loved the new song. I hated everything else craig did besides chiodos. Just a heads up...dont go to ebay for old Chiodos LPs... Yes....! i was so bummed i didn't pick up all's well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I might have to pick this up. I'm really digging the new track, makes me really glad Craig is back with them. Brandon was good, but he was missing that special something that Craig has in his voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I need a new copy of AWTEW - my purple copy that I bought from merch now a few summers ago came in pretty bad shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashy Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I feel like Chiodos is just one of those bands you outgrow. Not that I was ever a huge fan. eskimosnow27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewberinger Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 thomas erak will rule on guitar on this album the guitar stuff on the album is dope but don't go in expecting anything that rivals a Fall of Troy album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngwonton Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 thomas erak will rule on guitar on this album That's what I thought. Then I heard these new songs and....let's just say my excitement has been gone down considerably. 3AM sounds like a straight up pop-punk song. Duct Tape sounds like Craig Owens, a generic hip-hop beat, Imagine Dragons and new Fall Out Boy thrown in a blender. Under Your Halo sounds like a bad Cinematic Sunrise song. I dunno, It's not bad, but it just doesn't sound like Chiodos to me. It's got me wondering just how integral Jason Hale was, because even Illuminaudio sounds more like Chiodos to me than these songs. Ole Fishlips is really good and Expensive Conversations in Cheap Motels sounds good live, but I don't get it. What's the point of having Thomas Erak in the band if you're not going to utilize him to the fullest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Duct Tape, 3 AM, and Under Your Halo aren't representative of the whole album. I like Duct Tape and 3 AM reminds me of Cin Sun a lot - under your halo is just a bad song. I'd say my favorite tracks are We're Talking About Practice, Looking For A Tornado, Behvis Bullock, I'm Awkward and Unusual and Expensive Conversations. honestly I really like most of the songs on the album save for Under Your Halo but I've always been a weird Chiodos fanboy for some reason too.

Juturna90 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I think they all just wanted to do something new and different instead of writing the same album twice. As for Thomas erak I think it's safe to say they were probably just looking for someone who was experienced and a good friend. They probably don't want to get too technical and do a FOT mashup. I'm sure the album will just be a grower for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juturna90 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I agree that Behvis bolluck definitely stands out a lot though. It provides some newer elements to their sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the album will just be a grower for a lot of people. exactly - this album definitely has some AWTEW and BPB influence (like today's premiere could easily fit in on Bone Palace) but they definitely try a few different things and songs like Duct Tape and even Under Your Halo are evident of that. If you're a Chiodos fan (or a Craig Owens-fronted Chiodos fan) you will love this. Erak contributes some stellar guitar work and some backing vocals but again this isn't a Fall of Troy album so you can't expect for him to just unleash crazy riffs. there's no FCP Remix on here haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylo234 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Just listened to the leaked songs...equally as excited for this album as I was before! Not big on Under Your Halo though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 based on the reviews so far i think i'm gonna pull the trigger. thank goodness for an all's well repress. about damn time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomcreep Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I pre-ordered before I heard the new leaked songs. I used to be friends with the band so I always follow what they're doing even though they don't have the same impression on me these days. So far it sounds decent enough though. Guess I'll go listen to those other songs and see if I still feel that way haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcguirk Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Ah guhh I love Chiodos so much. They were my staple for getting through my first year of college. I have both Bone Palace Buffet and Alls Well on vinyl, but I'll definitely take a repress of the latter. And $57 for the tour package is an unbelievable deal. Gonna get me that. Between this and the Saosin news, it's been an awesome week for 20 year old me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewfro Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Just a heads up...dont go to ebay for old Chiodos LPs... This is good to hear. When MerchNow still had Bone Palace Ballet up a while ago, I ordered a copy when there were over 15 copies left and they cancelled a bunch of orders including mine because they oversold. Been wanting to get my hands on it but not paying ebay prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I really just want Illuminaudio pressed.. I love that album so much For real. Chiodos was one of my favorite bands at one point and I was pissed when they got a new vocalist, but holy shit. Illuminaudio is so good. It might even be my favorite album of theirs. jamdbz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like 3AM even though it doesn't really sound like Chiodos to me, because it does sound like Cinematic Sunrise and also weirdly reminds me of New Found Glory. Under Your Halo and Duct Tape I just really don't like. Behvis Bullock is alright. And I don't expect anything FOT-like from Erak, I just expected the songs to be a little more riff heavy than they are. I'm also not that crazy about the lyrics. Craig's lyrics used to be so much richer, but on DRUGS and the songs that I've heard off Devil they're just more or less straightforward. Don't mean to be super negative, because I was beyond excited about this album two days ago. I'm still excited for it, just not really digging those songs.

doomcreep Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was super bummed with all 4 of those tracks. I really expected some progression after all this time and the inclusion of Erak but those 4 are just really bad. "Behvis Bullock" has some decent parts but overall it's just really sloppy. I felt bad but I actually cancelled my pre-order because I would honestly never listen to it and I'm not a flipper so I figured it would be one more available for someone that would actually enjoy it. birdturbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
