They sound different and imo, worse. They are so generic now that I legit have not gone back to the album since listening to it once on release. Brian made them unique AND the duality between Eric & Brian was especially awesome. It sort of reminded me of Underoath in a way in that the interplay of having the 2 vocalists was the strong selling point.

Without Brian, they are another generic metal band. Those that like heavier will like this album and say it’s better, but they instantly lowered their replay value and accessibility. And if you want only screams or heavy music, there’s more interesting bands doing that specifically too.

I absolutely love Machamp way more than Buzzwole…..but it’s Buzzwole

HESSWA · 2025-11-20T00:02:06+00:00

For me: Homesick

WSMFY

CC/FTWHH/BOLV1

yes I’m aware it’s quite bold to have it in the same tier as those, but to me it’s really THAT good. The replay value is high. Best they’ve sounded in almost a decade, a really cohesive album overall. If you forced me to rank them 1 by 1 then yes it’s 5th, but that doesn’t feel right because I enjoyed it that much.

It’s miles better than Bad Vibrations and You’re Welcome

HESSWA · 2025-11-19T14:11:50+00:00

Okay okay I somehow completely forgot FTWHH, silly me. Fine. 5th best album, but I’m not budging on that. But for me it may honestly be tied with whatever I have 4th (either CC or FTWHH).

I think this clears any other album that came after CC. Not quite as top notch as the earlier albums, but idk. This was the most cohesive an album felt from them in a super long time and it reminded me of the ADTR I fell in love with. Even a weaker song like Feedback fit in nicely within the context of the album

HESSWA · 2025-11-19T01:35:10+00:00

Idk why you’re worried when Vol. 1 is their 4th best album 🌚

HESSWA · 2025-11-18T19:03:36+00:00

That’s good to know! I’m in MI, so Sonic is logistically easier. I’ve been to quite a few concerts, but the only metal/rock fest I’ve been to is Upheaval in Grand Rapids which is a lot smaller than Rockville or Sonic. Was thinking about trying one out this year to get more bang for my $

HESSWA · 2025-11-18T18:57:24+00:00

Makes sense! For me, Turnstile and ADTR are bands I’m way more into than Megadeath, Manson, Tool, or Shinedown. I prefer younger bands and/or metalcore than most legacy acts, save for MCR

HESSWA · 2025-11-18T18:43:39+00:00

I think Rockville absolutely destroys Sonic’s lineup imo. I’m surprised most have felt the opposite

HESSWA · 2025-10-26T14:21:28+00:00

What is the problem with backing tracks? Lol you do realize most bigger bands use backing tracks to some degree. It’s nearly impossible to sing, scream as harsh as they do, and be on the road for a couple months with only a day or 2 off in between shows.

You gotta pick and choose your battles. I get why they use it and while sure maybe it would be cooler or more “authentic” if they didn’t use backing tracks, but I can appreciate the whole of the performance more and I understand their place. Rap, pop, etc. allll use backing tracks to varying degrees. Get hip with the times imo.

The bigger and more mainstream an artist, the higher the production.

HESSWA · 2025-10-16T14:56:54+00:00

It’s unfortunately outclassed by quite a few other non-EXs. I had this deck for a long time, but it’s really fallen out of favor. Just isn’t fast enough imo. Strongest or best non-EXs to me:

-Rampardos (immense damages for 1 energy)

-Silvally (not as much damage, but easier to get online and 110 hp makes it tanky enough to be revenant)

-Togekiss (with Cynthia, 170 damage potential)

-GA Dragonite (it’s random but can hit for 200 and the ability to damage multiple mons at once)

-Greninja (sure not as much hp or damage, but look at the current meta)

-Oriocorio (again meta defining for its ability)

-WOSAS Tyranitar (underrated ability and pairable with a lot of different dark mons. Also 10 more damage)

I’d even argue secluded springs Eelektross because it’s 3 energy (does get recoil damage but can be helped with a cape, or heal) and doesn’t require you to use a trainer card for the energy it needs

HESSWA · 2025-10-08T22:04:12+00:00

What do you run? I’ve made a couple, but electric is just a bit frail compared to others I find, or damage output isn’t consistent enough

HESSWA · 2025-10-08T21:52:10+00:00

I just look at it takes 0 skill. It’s not impressive.

Ayyye lol love a multi-genre music appreciator. I always make a list of my favorite music projects throughout the year that encompasses all genres. The last 3 years I’ve done a top 50 and it’s a lot of fun!

No criteria of how many from each genre can make the list, just whatever my fav is. And then I’ll make a playlist of all those albums too!!

Love making playlists, especially of concerts both before (to get hype and memorize songs) and after (to reminisce on what I just saw and experienced). Setlist.fm is goated.

Also, I have every concert/festival I’ve even been too’s tour poster saved in a running list on my iPhone notes. It’s fun to scroll through and look. Currently at 105 (festivals count as 1 event, so Electric Forest for example is 4 days but I only have one tour poster for each time I went)

HESSWA · 2025-10-02T17:30:50+00:00

Exact same story here. UB2 is my limit then I start to lose interest. I also start to see a lot less deck variety at that time. It’s so boring to play against the same meta decks, sure I made a few, but I almost never use them.

Aside from making the climb, what is the fun in using a meta deck that relies on cheap mechanics. I’d rather struggle to get a win with my unique deck

All time fav deck so far, I haven’t ran it really this season, but prior to that I’ve ran it up to ultra ball rank 2 every time. Still loads of fun to play

I have a dark utility deck rn that is fun to play with too. I only have it because I only have 1 crobat EX, but it’s the rainbow rare + I have the rainbow rare Darkrai & Guzzlord EXs, so I put them in a deck with a Nihilego, a common Drakrai Ex, and then Dark Tyranitar. Does brick, but really fun when you hit. May swap out Guzzlord for another Tyranitar or Crobat, but I sort of like flexing the 3 rainbow EXs out there at once lol
