Alright, generally speaking, I'm a gamer at heart, and music is probably a good medium to play games to. If you've read any of my blogs prior, I wrote about how people have complained about how A Day To remember wasn't the same from back then. (If you haven't this a good read, from a biased Author) Anyway, I've been listening to it all weekend because I was REALLY excited about this album. I really enjoyed the singles that were released before the album launch. So far it's a solid album. I really enjoy most of the album. The thing I can really say I have a complaint about is a few of the songs seem to be forced. Which a bummer. I'll still listen to them, but they aren't necessarily my favorite. I"ll go over a detailed list of each of the songs as this review goes on. I' wasn't paid to kiss their ass, or even hate on them. This is just an honest to god review of a new album of one of my favorite bands for 13+ years now. (god now I feel super old)
Brick Wall
This song is kind of hit or miss for me. I like the way it sounds, I just again like mentioned above felt kind of forced. I do enjoy the message it's trying to relay. but after the release of mind reader. and resentment. I just felt something with a different sound.
Mindreader
Oh boy, this song. It's SO DAMN catchy. I think we can all relate to the story this song is trying to tell. I hear this song and go "Someone who's in a relationship knows these feels" #singlelyfe. I'm sure it can be conflicted with other types of a relationship. But still. This song is great.
Bloodsucker
A song about a bad relationship? Who woulda thought. I can for sure relate to this one. I understand that The yin to the yang thing to relationships of any kind. This song defines that. The disrespect, the having a big heart, and being taken advantage of. This song is slowly growing on me. I love it, the best kind of music
Last Chance To Dance(Bad friend)
A song about Dick bags. betrayal. being taking advantage of. Man, the only "negative" feeling I have about this song is I feel like they try a little too hard on the heavier parts. other than This song is a banger
F.Y.M
I really like the instrumental parts of the songs. In all honesty, and I know that all songs don't really have to relay a message. I might be dumb, but this song I don't get it. It's good, but not one of my favorites.
High Diving
Oh boy, oh boy. This song. I don't know why but this is literally my favorite song of all the non-single songs I REALLY like. I could say so much about this song. It literally speaks to me. Looking at all the crap that got you to this point? I like the lyrics and music. This very well may be my anthem. especially as of recently.
Resentment
Breakdown That is all. I listen to this song and I seriously am reminded of some of the stuff from prior albums. I listened to this song a lot when It first came out. I know the joke is "MuSiC SaVeD Me" but I literally can't disagree. it has. and this song helped me out of a dark place.
Looks like Hell
I really think this song can hit someone in the feels. Changing, depression. To me, this song hits all those targets. I really like it, but to contradict myself, I almost wish this song was a little harder
Viva La Mexico
This song, I don't know, but I tell you what. This is another catchy tune. I love it. all I can really say about it
Only Money
This song makes me feel pretty sad. It's a message. Never forget who made you, and where you came from. literally "it doesn't define me, it was only money" I really like it.
Degenerates
Don't judge a book by its cover I like the lyrics, I'm just not a fan of the song. It kind of reminds me of an Ex. Always judging da homies
Permanent
Honestly, I'm not sure what to say about this one. The future is Fucking scary man.
Re-Entry
Home is where the heart is? I think we don't really understand that we love seeing our favorite bands live (I've never seen these fellas live, but I would KILL to). but especially if they families, it takes a toll on musicians. This song describes that.
Everything We Need
I heard this one for the first time the other day. It for some reason hit home. I enjoy the way it sounds. My sister said it's humbling. I can understand that. This next to Resentment is probably one of my favorite of the singles.
I'll be honest, I was really hoping for a longer thought process to this all. but ya know, it's okay. I love these guys, and I really love this album. Part of me really thinks this album was a big middle finger to their last record company (speculation only) These guys are still at. They're making the songs they want to make. It's absolutely great. I hope that I can finally see these guys live in the future.
So this about wraps it up, I want to start writing more fun entertaining stuff on this blog, along with my streaming and stuff. Just trying to get into the groove of it all. Please, folks, share this spread these words. If there's anything you want me to maybe review, movie game or anything let me know. I will.
later Folks!
Scruffy out!
