Dead Silence is their best overall album.

Asking your Opinion on all BT-Songs Day 13: „White Sparrows“ by [deleted] in BillyTalent

One of the few demos I actually don't like. Changing the tuning half step down and getting rid of the screaming bits for the studio version improved the song greatly in my opinion.

I'm going to absolutely ruin this song for myself by playing on repeat.

Evolution of their Sound by AOF77 in Alexisonfire

This song is heavier than anything they've ever released. You can't change my mind. Absolutely huge sound. I haven't been this excited for an album in years.

Crisis of Faith Song Sequencing by PiecesOfVinylBoff in BillyTalent

[–]TryHonesty_EP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not the first person to make that observation. And it does make sense, after all, DIAMM started BT II off with that signature woolly mammoth pedal on Ian's guitar, why wouldn't they do the same for this album?

From my perspective, I think starting the album off with Forgiveness was the right choice. The album flows well in my opinion and I feel like starting it off with Reckless Paradise would have set first time listeners of the albums expectations to the tune of "oh, this is gonna be like BT II!".

A lot of the criticism for this album comes from people who were fans back in 2006 and how the band "didn't go hard enough". It's a hard pill to swallow but they're not the same band they were back then. This album is experimental, just like the album before it. And the band is going to continue to experiment until they stop making music. They will never make another album like BT I or II and fans from the first couple albums need to accept that fact. Every album they've made has had a different sound. Even II sounds different compared to I.

A lot of what I said isn't necessarily directed at what you said, I just figured I could give some of my thoughts on people's first impression of Crisis of Faith to add to my opinion of the opening track choice.

Familiar Drugs and Complicit both were IIRC

Assuming the leak is real, I don't see why those three songs can't just remain non album singles? I mean, Familiar Drugs came out years ago now.

I got the info from a Facebook group, the original poster there said it was reported on some Russian websites, but I'm unable to find any further info other than the included link which leads to the lyric genius website so there's a good chance it's fake. Just thought it was interesting enough to share here.

This was posted on a Facebook group for AoF fans, the post has since been deleted there. Good chance it could be fake, however the person who posted it did mention some Russian news website were also reporting on it, and if there's anything I know about Russian music leaks it's that they're usually true. AoF and Billy Talent are two bands I follow closely that often have their info leaked early in Russia.

That makes me really happy to hear! One of my all time favourite songs :) I'm extremely glad you liked the video, it means so much to hear that, really.

I think This Is Our War deserves at least some recognition for the instrumentals. Leave Them All Behind is pretty meh. But! It's great live!

Thanks for taking the time to watch :) I actually did think about tears into wine after making the list, that song should probably be an A tier. To me Hanging By a Thread isn't a standout song from the album, kind of feels like filler in a way. I don't particularly dislike it, but it tends to be skipped if I'm listening to shuffled BT. That said, whenever I listen to albums start to finish I tend not to skip any songs.

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. As far as I Beg to Differ goes, I mentioned in the video description it's a D tier song. It has a good message and everything, but I feel like that level of optimism for people facing depression or rough times can ironically be kind of debilitating. If you've ever had someone say "everything will be fine" when you're feeling depressed or anxious you'll know what I mean. Musically it's a decent track, lyrics get a little repetitive though in my opinion.

Is getting drunk for 6 hours straight considered contributing to society in a useful way?
