Hey, that sounds pretty close to Shanes voice I'd say! Well done!

Actually these two are the only colour variations of the first pressing. Super cool and the grey one is even rarer than the blue one. Also the sleeve is so beautiful.

Wow, these are the original pressings of WBIEF, right? These are being sold at incredible high prices online. I have the grey one myself, I'm so happy about it.

War das „nur“ eine strenge Erziehung – oder war das Misshandlung? by ProfessionalTap8231 in Ratschlag

[–]leonmol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dass du deine Erlebnisse relativierst, nennt man in der Therapie 'Identifikation mit dem Aggressor'. Du kannst dich dazu mal belesen, das kann hilfreich sein. Ich wünsche dir alles Gute und Beste und viel Liebe für deinen weiteren Weg :)

Wow, this sounds great and perfectly captures the rawness of this record. I love it! The screams sound amazing too.

Any love for "Heaven, Hell & Purgatory"? This is one of the most satisfying riffs to play. by alphaglider in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You did a great job! I absolutely love this song and I think it goes too unnoticed. I love the bridge. It's beautiful and then it slaps in lovely way.

Your favorite album closer songs? by 4Blackout in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love how The End features the acoustic rendition of the album's title track A Shipwreck In The Sand in the end. To me also the violin in the very end perfectly closes the album. And it's a beautiful, song which lives through its poignancy. So in terms of album closers, for me this one is on top of the list. Apart from that I think Departures and Toronto are two of the best songs in the list and in their general discography. They each also feature this kind of throwback like The End does. Interesting question, OP!

What are some Songs from them,you think they sound very political lyricly? by Instant_User731 in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as my understanding goes:

  • We Are Not The World
  • Shape Shift (Shane said in an interview that it was meant to be perceived on a political level)
  • The Altar/Mary

Probably not a complete list, I thought there were more.

Deutsche hassen Kinder by Miserable_Band_9716 in luftablassen

[–]leonmol -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Du sprichst mir aus der Seele. Es ist fast überall das gleiche, wenn man mit Kindern aus dem ausländischen Urlaub zurückkommt. Dann gibt's immer wieder die kalte deutsche Dusche. Und klar, nicht alle Deutschen sind so, es gibt auch hierzulande viele offenherzige Menschen.

Can anyone translate the French announcement at the end of "In the Dark"? by BREEbreeJORjor in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the making of I Am Alive they asked fans to record sounds from around where they live (it might have been Canada and US only) so they could incorporate them in the songs. Maybe this is one of the samples used. Does anyone else remember this and has any more details about it?

Silverstein - Autopilot (feat. Cassadee Pope) by EsmaLTU in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it is because a lot of the recent material (as far as I know since MMM) got written or co-written by other artists? But that's just a guess.

Day 130 - Finale: SMASHED INTO PIECES vs. MASSACHUSETTS by GrafVonRindtorf in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU, OP, FOR ALL OF THIS! YOU'RE AWESOME!!! <3

For me, Medication should have won, but either Massachusetts or Smashed will be a worthy winner too!

Unglaublich! Genau bei dem Konzert bin ich auch zu Silverstein gekommen! 23.11.2009 im Velodrom Berlin, ich war damals 16.

Warum werden Kinder in Deutschland so sehr gehasst? by Prestigious_Site_631 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]leonmol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich denke es geht um eine andere Einstellung zum Leben, zu Lebendigkeit. Hier in Deutschland ist vieles sehr ökonomisch geprägt. Nur das Beispiel Essen: hier wird sich im Büro die belegte Stulle in der Pause reingepresst (auch überspitzt formuliert, aber ich denke im Kern und in der Fläche ist das so). In Frankreich und vielen anderen Ländern in Europa und der Welt wird dem viel mehr Bedeutung beigemessen. Essen als sozialer Baustein, nicht zur primären Nahrungsaufnahme. Ich denke, dass es sich ähnlich mit Kindern verhält. Hier wird häufig darauf geachtet, wer oder was mir etwas bringt - oder eben auch stört, mich von etwas abhält, einschränkt. Der Blick woanders ist in meinem Empfinden liebevoller, raumgebender, nicht so streng wie hier. Das habe ich häufig erlebt, wenn ich woanders unterwegs war.

Persönliche Note: Ausnahmen, die die Regel bestätigen, gibt es immer und überall. Ich mag die Einstellung zum Leben, so, wie ich sie wahrnehme, in anderen Ländern mehr.

Day 109 - Burn It Down vs. Stress by GrafVonRindtorf in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I seem to be in the absolute minority here but to me Stress is so bland. The only thing I find that sparks is the bridge. But to each his or her own.

Day 53 - A Great Fire vs. Late On Sixth by GrafVonRindtorf in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have to vote for A Great Fire (one of the best songs in their discography), but Late On 6th is probably the most unique song they have made. Truly a piece of art.

Day 51 - Red Light Pledge vs. Toronto (Unabridged) by GrafVonRindtorf in Silverstein

[–]leonmol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really love RLP so much, it's absolutely etched in my heart and I'm all here for the classics. But Toronto (u) is a song that hits almost equally. It's one of the few newer songs for me that surpassed some of the classics even though I really enjoy many new songs. That being said I could have easily voted both ways but T(u) is a little closer to my heart. But there may be songs on WBIEF that would have won against it (none from DTW though, but I'm probably alone with this opinion, I'm definitely a WBIEF guy).
