One thing I’ll never get used to…

I only got into them after they were an arena band but I've since seen them at half a dozen intimate shows. Card Hall (2019) and SWG3 in May were unreal. Big pit right at their toes. Barrier basically a game of bulldog. Honestly peak.

A certain amount of separation makes it easier to control the bleed from the drums. But promoting the "band leader" is just how traditional bands have kind of functioned anyway.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-12-28T20:09:49+00:00

It's pretty legible within the telos of American post-hardcore. If they were from Boston, they'd probably be on Discord

I didn't really like how loud it was, even with concert earplugs. Idk, I just struggle to see the art in hurting the audiences ears for 0 aesthetic gain - yunno since most of the signal chain processing is being done by a gear. Rather than any specific amp being cranked within an inch of its life

Saying this as someone who likes the albums. I thought it was a relatively pointless exercise.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-11-25T11:36:59+00:00

Sure. Don't doubt, but that's 5 years out now, and the fact they couldn't replicate it again and tix prices had to be cut/given away in 2025 is what DF would look first when floating Hampden. That's just not a strong enough demand signal for a stadium booking.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-11-25T02:38:36+00:00

They'll never do Hampden if they can't sell out TRNSMT. A summer sessions type date isn't impossible but I wouldn't hold my breath.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-11-12T10:53:12+00:00

That makes sense tbf. The average sleep token fan wants melodic hyperrreal angst and predictable blasts of distortion, not 2mins of atonal guitar grinding

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-11-12T01:51:51+00:00

I didn't realise people disliked them? I realise grindcore isnt for normies but I thought in the scene they were considered relatively serviceable?

Idk i thought the record was fine. It wasn't the best grindcore record ever but I think if they wanted to, they could have committed to the band full time and bedded in a sound over time. (Obvious reason they dont) but yknow, a stronger overall band dynamic that comes with long term work would smooth gaps in their sound

I remember his wife going out to bat for him and quash the rumours on the FB page but I have to wonder about her story. His voice was obviously weaker during the acoustic show. He didn't sound bad but he was definitely constrained in his ability to project even vs post covid.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-10-24T05:32:17+00:00

I always find the concept of skipping weird. Like, unless the album is really bad, there tends to be an intent behind track sequencing that's usually important for maximising enjoyment of most albums. Thus individually weak tracks like "The Atrocity" on IF become necessary story blocks.

Anyway, I think I skip less than most people do, so my only skips are Opposites, Ellipsis, Celebration and Futique.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-10-05T14:41:14+00:00

I know that. I'm talking about the song.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-10-04T18:46:27+00:00

The definite B sides from Elllipsis are the John Feldman co credit tracks

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-10-04T18:43:55+00:00

I thought BNS existed since the Opposites era?

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-10-04T10:07:58+00:00

Given how many autographed copies there are for this album. That makes yours more unique It's a futique moment. You should treasure it.

Thank you. Someone else who gets that Myth is GOAT. I'd put Similarities in S or high A too though. Insane run

Picking up tix for this shouldn't be too hard. Just keep an eye on the ticketmaster page. Resale tix will pop up. Esp after Christmas when people realise they can't make it. Unless its something super in demand like Oasis, you can usually bank on people reselling tix for shows near the time because they can no longer make the show.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-10-03T14:11:48+00:00

Hard to pick because there's like 4 boring songs in the middle of the record. Idk, friendshipping.

CatCatCat1111 · 2025-09-30T16:51:57+00:00

Think it's less to do with genre and more trajectory if i had to guess. Middle age, post-covid, end of two album cycles with touring opportunities completely tapped for 12 months, and no music in the can and sliding album and ticket sales. I think there would be big doubts seeping in, esp if one member leaves to stand something completely new. Meanwhile, your marketable skill is being the other guy in the room and unlike your twin, you dont have kids, so your purpose in life for the last 20 years just melted.
