    Concert energy has grown even more and that's all that matters. Imo this album reached a different audience and made BT even more popular that it was
    Perhaps the pink color is what drives some metalheads crazy XD

    My FAVORITE example of a fanbase NOT being receptive to a band writing what they're experiencing at the time is everything that Misery Signals did with Karl Schubach.
    The idea there was 'why doesn't it sound like The Summer Ended In June?? This sucks!'
    And the fact is, a bunch of really awesome dudes DIED to make that album what it was.
    Like, the Ghost Inside didn't sell out that LA show because they had a fun new album coming out.
    No, they literally almost died and that's what came of it.
    Sometimes, I think fans tend to forget (or worse, dismiss) the traumas that some great records have been inspired by.
    Like, you wouldn't be able to convince someone who lived through a fatal car wreck to think about it in detail, all the time, constantly, if they didn't want to.
    It's why artists like Chester and Kurt and so many others aren't here anymore.
    They went too deep into traumas and never came out the other side.
    We've had enough tragic heroes, I'm ok with trying to move on.
    It's cool if all you want to hear are bodies being mutilated and stories of mythological beings devouring children, but man.. even heavy music is so much more than that.

    Forget whoever's opinion said this album sucked. The Surface is an album that put this man's life back on track. If you're hating on a man for finding a place in life that makes him happy, then you're just hating. Let the dude be happy.

    Sunshine is one of the best songs in the whole heavy community. It's actually interesting musically and the breakdown is fat as butter.

  • @jackcravford8744
    @jackcravford8744 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I get what these guys are saying, but it is not actually about for example me wanting from Caleb to be depressed so he can make Disgusting II.
    His first EP and LP are emotionally hardcore not because he is screaming his guts out, but because the music was way more raw and interesting. We had deep bass lines. Interesting drumming. Amp noises and guitar feedbacks. One take vocals. Minimal post-production autotune bullshit. Each song had its own topic - disgusting had alcoholism and relapsing, depression, looking for love, anti suicidal songs, about making people united against our sins, against parent abuse... and it felt raw and chaotic. Everything sounds now radio friendly with digital production and autotune everywhere.
    I am glad Caleb is doing alright but look at Norma Jean. 9 records, adults yet the music is still heavy, chaotic and dissonant and creative.
    Not to mention the fact that his lyrics were not teen angst - they felt more open, abstract and less cheesy. That is also gone as well.

      True story:
      I'm 39, 40 VERY shortly.
      Worked a crap job making good money for almost 15 years.
      Did college.
      Had relationships.
      Wasn't happy.
      Got low, quit my job.
      Flipped to a new career 4 years ago, and guess what?
      I make more money than ever, I'm happier and I have a better, more supportive personal and professional crew.
      Not because life gave me a break.
      Because I MADE that shit happen.
      It's super easy to bitch about life being hard, and no. I don't know you.
      But here's the thing: do ANYTHING for 10+ years and not do anything to make it better but EXPECT it to get better and at some point, that shit is on YOU. You can change that. You can stop making excuses. You can stop accepting less and dragging your feet, but I guarantee it'll be harder. And I'll be damned if that isn't why it's still shit for you 🤷
