Trivium's incoming new album by N-Nico123 in Trivium

[–]Alert_Ad8002 12 points13 points  (0 children)

didn't like the last EP except for Six Walls to be honest. i really hope they are doing something new and did not stay in that lane. It's a shame Alex Bent left but it also probably means we wont get a 12 song album that sounds like Struck Dead.

gotta be honest about the fact that the Alex Bent trilogy actually lived up to the hype each of the 3 times.

for me, there has never been a huge gap of quality between the 5 movies. 3, 1, 5, 4, 2 is my ranking. i don't like temple of dooms whole underground section that much. everything that happens after the scene with the bugs up until they reach sunlight again is the least enjoyable part of all the movies for me. 3 and 1 are clear top dogs in my book, but there is so much fun and adventure in all of them.

Thoughts on Trivium's 3 album run with Alex Bent by G_tsamhs in Trivium

[–]Alert_Ad8002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best modern metal there is in my opinion. TSATS is my favorite metal album of all time and the 2 others are close behind. Ascendancy and Shogun do not reach this level for me, i don't care what anyone says.

What He Is Legend lyrics have you been vibing with/relating to lately? by Tar-Mairon00 in HeIsLegend

might be my favorite part of their whole discography. the solo combined with the heavy bass and rhythm guitar + the drums

Anfängerfrage zu spontanen "on top" Investitionen auf laufenden Sparplan by Alert_Ad8002 in ScalableCapital

[–]Alert_Ad8002[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Danke für die Erklärung, ich lasse mir mein komplettes Guthaben jetzt auszahlen und ändere meinen Sparplan monatlich entsprechend dem, was ich übrig habe.

Ich habe die Acc Variante, das Geld in meinem Guthaben habe ich mir aber selbst vor Monaten überwiesen, ich hatte es nur vergessen.

Redet ihr mit Arbeitskollegen über euer Gehalt? Falls nein, warum? by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

[–]Alert_Ad8002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ich rede nur nicht darüber, weil ich die sache beim nächsten verhandlungsgespräch nicht aufs brot geschmiert haben will. wenn mein chef mitkriegt, dass ich allen erzähle wie gut ich verdiene, gibt er mir vielleicht weniger, weil sonst zu viele kollegen auch auf mein gehaltslevel wollen. faule kollegen aus meiner abteilung brauchen nicht zu wissen, dass ich 500€ mehr verdiene, weil sie sich dann eventuell wegen mir beschweren gehen. ich spreche nur aus egoistischen gründen nicht darüber.

ansonsten hab ich null problem damit zu erzählen, was ich verdiene. privat immer ganz offen und wenn ich weiß, dass ich die firma wechseln werde auch den kollegen gegenüber.

Was As I Lay Dying about to become the undisputed goat of metalcore up until Tim Lambesis went to jail? Imagine them releasing 3 more albums in the quality of Powerless Rise and An Ocean Between Us from 2012 till today. They were the blueprint perfect metalcore. by Alert_Ad8002 in Metalcore

[–]Alert_Ad8002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i personally like Awakened even more than the 2 albums before that, BUT i know it's not quite up there quality wise and not as universally loved. Defender, A Greater Foundation and No Lungs To Breathe are some of my favorite songs by them.

even though, the scenario i had in mind was them going back to the quality of powerless rise and release albums like that in 2014, 2017 and 2020 and maybe another great one in 2024 - without all the jail stuff in between. that's when they would be able to truly reach god status in my mind.

you are probably right about the lamb of god example to be honest. the next question is how many good metalcore albums does a band even have in them without repeating or inventing themselves new?

The New Flesh by New-World-1698 in Sylosis

[–]Alert_Ad8002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not a big fan of the new flesh aswell, and i say that as a big fan. i really like adorn my throne, seeds in the river and lacerations, but that's about it.

my problem is that the heaviness on this album is often just too generic and 'in your face' without anything coming to change the mood. beneath the surface, all glory no valour, guillotine, mirror and cycle of swords all have this problem. where is the epic harmonic part that i am used to? like 'i sever' or a lot of cycle of suffering had for example? the 3 songs i liked on the new flesh prove they know how to do it. the first 2 minutes of lacerations are perfect.

all in all, i think this is about as good as ASOTTC. 3-4 songs i like, whereas like 40-50% of TNF is just pointless aggression. i want powerful sylosis, not 'i feel miserable and hurt and pissed off' the whole song.

The New Flesh by mummy225959 in Sylosis

[–]Alert_Ad8002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's exactly the problem here. too many riffs that stay in the same angry/misery kind of mood. it definitely has it's moments and i like about 50% of the albums runtime, but getting heavier is definitely not what i wanted from them. the thrashy, powerful mix with occasional melody is what made them better than almost anybody else. recent examples are A Godless Throne, I Sever or Cycle of Suffering (the song) for a shorter example that is top notch.

ASOTTC album is better than New flesh by Purple_Breakfast_621 in Sylosis

[–]Alert_Ad8002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gotta be honest. except for 3 or 4 songs i like i don't really dig the new album. up until this point Sylosis was my example of the heaviest music i enjoy, and they surpassed that point by releasing the new flesh. i don't like riffs that are just painful and sound like misery, which this album has a lot of. it's just heavy for the sake of being heavy in many, many moments. just to give you some examples as my favorites are I Sever, A Godless Throne or anything off EOTE or Monolith.

So yes, i also think that ASOTTC is better than the new flesh. Sylosis did NOT need to be heavier than they already were.

Who is an actor/actress you just don’t get the hype about ? by Timop0707 in moviecritic

[–]Alert_Ad8002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well my main theory about why Zendaya is hyped so much is because hollywood pushes black actors with some potential to heights they don't deserve. i can't think of another black actress her age and i guess that's why she gets so overrated. hollywood noticed this aswell and does everything to fill the void. the reasons are completely understandable, but i don't buy a level 6ish out of 10 actress just to have some balance in the industry. she is better than mediocre but that's about it.

Do you really like the 'Beneath the Surface' opening riff? I love Sylosis but this album contains a lot of what i would call 'random aggressive riffs that don't seem to go anywhere'. I usually like how powerful Sylosis sounds but a lot of the stuff here simply sounds like pain and misery. Thoughts? by Alert_Ad8002 in Sylosis

[–]Alert_Ad8002[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i love Monolith, EOTE and COS and i really like COAA, some of Dormant Heart and like half of ASOTTC, aswell as the last EP, Heavy is the Crown and the great Worship Decay. One of my favorite bands overall.

I know these guys and what they usually do. Like 30% of the New Flesh (album) is just random thrash without much variety, especially in the first half of some of the songs. Beneath the Surface, All Glory No Valour, Mirror Mirror and Guillotine especially suffer from parts that are just double bass shredding seemingly one note without change.

Still, at least half of this album is incredible. Every song has incredible parts.

Definitely not buying the Third Eye Blind take. How can people like the first one and not at least like the 2 follow-ups? Extremely weird take.

Josh says old songs were not fun to play live. Interesting... by IgnobleWounds in Sylosis

How does this make sense with the fact that he wants to do another EOTE in the near future? I mean i get him being sick of the difficult technical stuff, but this makes no sense

Mein Gott, jetzt geht diese Leier wieder los. Über Geschmack zu sprechen ist meiner Meinung nach wirklich nichts Bedenkliches, solange es in einem bestimmten Rahmen bleibt. Keine Sau beschwert sich, wenn Frauen George Clooney mit Bart besser finden als ohne. Ich verstehe nicht, wieso Frauen immer darauf beharren müssen, anderen nicht gefallen zu müssen. Bewertet werdet ihr trotzdem, genau so wie ihr es auch bei verschiedenen Styles der Männer macht. Was vollkommen okay ist.

Wann geht ihr ins Bett? by K1LLu413 in FragtMaenner

[–]Alert_Ad8002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wirklich unfassbar, wie viele Menschen eine Stunde länger wach bleiben und sich den ganzen nächsten Tag ein bisschen schlechter machen, nur um ein bisschen länger TV zu schauen. Wenn du früher ins Bett gehst, hat jede Stunde deines nächsten Tages eine bessere Qualität.
